Josie is a budding entrepreneur living in Montana- which turns out to be a great state for individuals starting their own businesses. And Josie’s business? Chocolate! She’s a maker of fine chocolates, and talks about what goes into making them, what it’s like starting her business – including living in ‘situational poverty’ – and her former life as a preschool teacher living in Seattle.
She describes how she gets by while not earning income during the incubation stage of her business, including her low living expenses, and how Missoula makes an ideal place to live and work as she begins to figure out how to get her business off the ground.
