In our latest podcast, we talk with an entrepreneur who has grown up finding creative ways to earn a living and shows no signs of stopping.

We’re talking with Carisah Lee, who is originally from California and found her way from the west coast to Iowa. She is rocking a new business called Rosie and Jean with her best friend, Sam and while Rosie and Jean is doing great, it grew out of some serious business savvy and experience with social media marketing.
