Maddy’s Note: “I happen to record this episode on a Friday, and earlier that week I had recorded Lauren’s episode on Monday and Lindsay’s episode on Wednesday. So I felt like this episode was the ending to a week of recording with powerful women… which was awesome and Jen is no exception. Her story of starting her own company is really a unique one, but honestly Jen’s passion for her business is what inspires me most. Her passion and energy towards leadership development oozes out in everything she says… which if you listen to the episode you’ll realize very quickly. I love when someone’s passion is just apart of who they are, it’s almost like they can’t help but talk about it… I think that’s a great sign of someone walking the talk. Anyway… all that to say, Jen is an incredible leader and I very quickly added her to the “Women I Want to Be Like Someday” list. “
