We took this podcast out of office and off-site while we enjoyed one of the most gorgeous summer mornings in Small Town USA!  We had all the positive feels when helpful strangers gave us a hand as we unloaded office furniture and we even met families who were out enjoying our town's traveling sculptures.

Our first guest was Dionna Brenamen, owner of Fostoria's first coffee shop: Java’s Enchanted Bean. All food and beverage offered will be sourced from our tri-county area. It's been a rewarding challenge restoring a historic, old building. Dionna was super excited to share that they'd be starting with a soft launch on June 27 and continually building from there! Dionna shared that she's found. fantastic team of great people and the community has been so supportive.

Next-up was Jena Stearns, owner of Beyond Laser Creations and our first community winner of LAUNCH Fostoria. They ladies talked about her top sellers (Corporate items), how she's hosting more Charcuterie workshops, and their favorite personalized gifts she's made in her first year of business.  Of course Jena's mom came up in conversation... and Collagen Drinks…and milestone birthdays... With the second annual small business competition finale fast approaching (August 5, 2022), there was also talk of a tiara to be circulated for future winners.
