In this episode of the JUSTIN AND THE [FOOD] ENTREPRENEURS Show, Justin Bizzarro invites Brooke Jackson from the Honey Lavender Bakery in Georgia to share her inspiring journey from being an elementary teacher to a successful bakery owner. Brooke opens up about her transition, driven by health concerns, from the stressful world of teaching to the soothing art of baking. She reflects on how her passion for baking, initially a relaxing hobby, turned into a thriving business.
