Autumn Lee believes in transforming fear into freedom. She takes life on head first because "No one can take away your birthday".
Autumn owns Sunshine & Whiskey Filling Station and the Salty Heifer Liquor store in Watson, MN, a town of 180 people. There is no better person who understands the struggle and importance of small business ownership in a small rural town.
Autumn balances the schedules of business ownerships, farming, twin teenage girls and everything else life throws hers way.  She is a bad ass business owner that focuses on her customers, time management, mindset and understanding the in-and-out operations of her business.   

Autumn joined the un/academy community when she completed Startup Bootcamp in 2023, where she left a lasting impact on us and continues to motivate all those she meets. She believes small business ownership is what small communities thrive on, they are the backbone of a community.   

Listen in for a great story about grit, hope, hustle, putting in the work and rebuilding a community one step at a time.
