Connecting With Jennifer Smith; Rising whilst Falling

Something as simple as holding a door for somebody speaks volumes about your own character.

It lets that person know that you value them as a human being.

And with so many things that are happening now in the world where we get lost and we get disconnected,

With so much going on with social media, with all these different things that we have limitless information at our fingertips,

 We get run down, we get beat up with all of that negativity.

So just a very small act of holding a door and acknowledging somebody, "I got this! Let me help you today!" it speaks volumes to people!

On today’s episode, I am connecting with Jennifer Smith, a successful career mom that has gone through a lot of challenges to be where she is now.

Jennifer Smith is the owner of LéLu Coffee Lounge. She grew up in a house where everything was home-cooked, so she got a passion for cooking from a very young age. She went to study nutrition at Florida State University. Her love and passion for good food, great ingredients, and great coffee led Jennifer to open a business where you could have all these under one roof.

Jennifer says that she did not get where she is today by thinking and hoping that something is going to happen the next day.
