In this episode, Joy Ellis shares the story behind Skylark Cafe in Leslie, Arkansas, a dream she built with her husband, Denver. What started as a leap of faith has become a meaningful part of their community. Joy talks about the early days, the challenges of COVID-19, and the resilience it took to keep going. Through every season, she’s learned that authenticity and staying true to your values are what truly sustain a business. Beyond the café, Joy and Denver continue investing in Leslie through ventures like Court Street Cottage and The Little Hill Shop.
