Travis Meltzer chats with Chloe Cleveland, born-and-raised Queen Creek native and State 48 Partnerships Director. She shares her pandemic pivot from Diamondbacks intern to full-time State 48 (no interview—just a DM), absorbing ops from a folding-table office. Chloe spotlights Make-A-Wish collab with Sutton (T-shirt sales fund PCH program) and State 48 Foundation’s entrepreneur grants. Advice: try everything, never say “not my job,” just ask. Next: retail collabs explode.
