Welcome to the first edition of Coffee, Laughs and Chats Business Series. Today we're diving into Brewed Awakenings: A Startup Business Journey. An adventure that is sometimes bold, sometimes bittersweet, but always best when shared over a good cup of coffee.
I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Jasmine Coit, founder of Live in Training University LLC a.k.a. LIT University. Whether you are ready to “live the dream” of owning a business, currently hoping to build your own empire, or considering a new chapter, this edition will not disappoint. Expect real talk about startup stumbles, caffeine-fueled moments and those “did that really just happen” experiences that prove entrepreneurship is not for the faint of heart.
Coffee, Laughs and Chats Valentine's Edition is all about love, laughter and, of course, coffee fueled stories. We'll talk about navigating relationships, dating disasters, and marriage or romance (you have to pick one). A mix of romance, reality and relatability. This will be a laugh-a-ganza for sure.
