Back in early December, pre pandemic lockdown round two, Holly took a road trip to Renfrew, ON where she met with several local business women who recently launched their businesses in 2020 (with Ottawa Valley Coffee opening in 2021). Holly invites local podcast host and entrepreneur Kathleen Barr as her co-host on the pod. Kathleen is the host of the Above Twenty Podcast and founder of Generation Communication, where Kathleen offers various communication and social media content management. Our guests include:
Kiara Mulvihill, a 21-year old hair salon owner who took a chance and pursued her dream of opening her very own hair studio...in the midst of the pandemic! Kiara talks about how she made the decision to open her doors during COVID-19 and the support system behind her. Once the lockdown is over, book your next hair cut with Kiara on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Hair-Society-107944614330809/
