What started as unexpected unemployment at 52 years old turned into an incredible journey of finding purpose and alignment through absolute self-confidence. Dawn Kelly masterfully tells the story of how she became CEO of The Nourish Spot, a family owned, quick serve healthy food, smoothie and natural juice bar located in Jamaica, Queens, NYC. Relying upon her determination, faith and own resources, Dawn is now a courageous entrepreneur providing healthier beverage and food options in the food desert of Southeast Queens.
In this episode she shares:
How important it was to grieve her lost position in the PR world so that she could later pivot and use her acquired skills as an entrepreneur
How she has made it a point to expand her business beyond her storefront, leading her to opportunities like vending in Citi Field and The US Open
Why she is committed to lifelong learning and the many wonderful resources she has found along the way, you can find a list of her resources at https://sidehustlepro.co/nourishspot
