Shawanda Mason’s and Jennifer Holder’s careers have been defined by scrappiness and leaps of faith.
In this episode, they share how growing up somewhat isolated in small towns helped spark their creativity, how Jennifer’s early idea for The Chattery grew into a partnership after an elevator meet-cute, and how they have turned burnt lemons into lemonade.
Jennifer and Shawanda are the Co-Founders of The Chattery, a Chattanooga-based nonprofit that advocates for lifelong learning. You can learn more about them at https://thechattery.org/about.
