Are We Still Entrepreneurs?
Are we still entrepreneurs? We both own established businesses–and we're successful mid-career creatives–so we don't really fit into the trendy description of a startup that seems to be all kickstarter-y and that like. That's what we're talking about today.

In episode two, Jen and Karen pose the question, “Are we still entrepreneurs?” Both Jen and Karen are business owners with years of experience but still do many of the things entrepreneurs do. Living and working in a University community they are both familiar and supportive of start-ups. But, struggle with their identity.
