We sat down with Jackie DeLoach, the badass owner of Hattie’s Tap & Tavern in Charlotte, NC, and you guys, she is so freaking COOL. Jackie shares her story of opening a beloved neighborhood bar completely debt-free. We dive deep into the strategies she employed to achieve financial independence and the formative career experiences that equipped her for opening Hattie’s. (RIP Tyber Creek.) Jackie also shares the sweet story of how she came up with the name "Hattie’s," and it’s so heartwarming, we literally melted.
