The idea from this project came when I found out that there was such a high percentage of women-owned businesses in Tucson, Arizona. This project allowed me to combine my journalism degree with my business background, while trying something new with podcasting and creating long form articles. I hope that you are inspired by the women featured in this project as much as I am. https://www.businessheroines.org/whytucson daily 0.75 2020-11-19 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fb5b231adc474343db3e7fb/t/5fb5e6c8cab3781681ea5c72/1605756513996/dried-flowers.jpg Why Tucson? - “Tucson just seemed a lot more sort of welcoming for the type of business that I wanted to do.” https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fb5b231adc474343db3e7fb/t/5fb5e6ec6c8f2f311d3419e7/1605756663813/img_4351-2.jpg Why Tucson? - “I realized at the time that I had found my calling and that I wanted to continue with it.” https://www.businessheroines.org/podcasts daily 0.75 2020-11-19 https://www.businessheroines.org/podcasts/lauraoldaker monthly 0.5 2020-12-01 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fb5b231adc474343db3e7fb/t/5fb5d9b96c8f2f311d320fb0/1605753733634/qvfjjawu_400x400.jpg Podcasts - Laura Oldaker - The Caregiving CEO - Laura Oldaker is the the Owner of The Oldaker Group and the CEO of The Academy for Caregiving Excellence.
