Ellen and Tish talk about entrepreneurship this week with Portland, Oregon-based entrepreneur Lori Spencer.  Lori created and founded a national beverage brand and helped bring a wave of awareness of chai to the US when she co-founded Oregon Chai; she took the company from a recipe in her co-founder's kitchen all the way to the sale of a national brand while in her 20s.
 
Learn how Lori parlayed that experience into a career in advising many female business founders and who she credits with her strength and grit (as an 8th-generation Oregonian you may have a good guess). Lori shares how she uses her superpowers of community, innovation, and creativity for success and how she pivoted during Covid to reinvent her career in midlife. 

Things we talked about in this episode: chai tea, founders, Oregon Chai, Oregon, women entrepreneurs, Portland, Girls, Inc., XXcelerate, boards, Justin's nut butter, coffee shops, One Stripe Chai, Freelance Spirits, fractional work, Groundup nut butter, Howard Shultz, Starbucks, entrepreneurs, Covid pivots, and building community.
