In this episode of Women of Aurora, host Cynthia Gamboa and co-host Marisol Perez sit down with the remarkable Meighan Cole Bailey, a serial entrepreneur, certified coach, and community leader whose journey from foster care to CEO is nothing short of inspiring.
Meighan shares how a personal family crisis sparked the creation of her first business, Connections Mobile, a non-emergency medical transportation company. She opens up about the heart behind her work, how she's grown her team and impact over 16+ years, and how loss became a catalyst for deeper purpose.
We dive into:
- How Megan launched her first business without an LLC and what happened next
- Her mission-driven approach to elder care and transportation
- The story behind Mama’s Kitchen, her family-run food truck with a powerful legacy
- Coaching women impacted by the justice system and creating real career paths
- Her upcoming book From Foster Care to CEO and what that title truly means
- The mindset shift that comes from learning to delegate and ask for help
Plus, Meighan recommends two favorite books for women entrepreneurs and shares how she stays grounded, focused, and connected
