ABOUT EPISODE 9
Host Mary Lucero and special guest, Monica Kekuewa discuss the freedom that can be attained through owning a small business, and how private entrepreneurship can support the food system cornerstones, even when the business is not about healthy food systems.  The COVID-19 catalyst of the Great Resignation and pandemic related business closures has left many former employees wondering what the next phase of their life will look like.   If you are thinking about leaving your job, and wondering what private business might have in store for you, this is an episode you won't want to miss.   Tune in to learn:

• How entrepreneurship brought more personal satisfaction and family time to Monica Kekuewa, owner of MK Design House in Las Cruces, NM.
• What factors were in place that helped MK Design House succeed
• What challenges made private entrepreneurship more difficult than anticipated
• How family time and personal freedom have made the above challenges worth facing
• How small businesses who's missions fall beyond the "cornerstone" focal points of environment, health, regenerative agriculture, and freedom can  still support healthy food systems
• Personal experiences that drove Monica Kekuewa and Mary Lucero to found different kinds of businesses under very different circumstances. 
• How MK Design House can help you spread your message in print or online
