Episode 3
Jaquelyn was born to a family of small business owners. Although her parents never had much money, they lived life with a zest and fervor that many of us would give up anything for. Jaquelyn learned early on that if you wanted something out of life, you had to take action. She never hesitated. That's why, a week after quitting her teaching job in 2003, she was packaging and selling her own granola after hours at the local diner. And a few weeks after that, she had hired her first employee.
Jaquelyn's story is one of charging full speed ahead, making what she believed in, and taking care of the people around her in the process. Make sure to stick around until the end of the episode to hear who we'll have on the show in Episode 4!
