This week on Up In Your Business with Kerry McCoy, I’ll be sitting down with Ms. Olivia Farrell, a woman that has broken the rules and the glass ceiling over and over again; first at the Arkansas Times, when she donned the cover of their 1977 Living It UP In High Style edition with a lit joint, then again in 1995 by becoming CEO and principal owner of Arkansas Business Publishing Group (ABPG).
More recently, Ms. Farrell has successfully and thoughtfully sold her business conglomerate and become only the 4th woman to be inducted into the University of Arkansas Walton Business College’s Arkansas Business Hall of Fame.
Listen to hear how this woman, who makes no excuses for her gender, worked hard, used her unique business sense to grow ABPG from $100,000 in revenue to $8 million, and what she sees for the future of publishing.
