It’s our second episode about the pivot to entrepreneurship with two Candy Factory members, Lucy Dowd and Bryan Coe. The pivot is that moment when someone finally decides to take the leap and start a business. Lucy Dowd is an estate planning attorney who started her own practice ten years ago. After law school Lucy worked at different practices until she began to realize how much more efficient a practice could be run by cutting down on overhead and utilizing technology and virtual administrative and paralegal services. Over a decade of running her own practice, Lucy has never looked back. Bryan Coe is the owner of the marketing agency Blackbird e-Solutions. Blackbird helps companies get found online. Bryan took the leap to start his own company early in his career after spinning up a website for his father’s business and getting a taste of consulting. But life circumstances led Bryan on a journey back into the corporate world for a short time, before going back out on his own with Blackbird. Coming from a long line of entrepreneurs, Bryan has realized that it’s where he belongs. Today it’s two conversations, with two entrepreneurs talking about their pivots to starting businesses.

Dr. Andrew Coco practiced medicine for thirty-four years before retiring at the end of 2019. The last twenty years of his career were spent with Lancaster General Health’s Comprehensive Care, a primary care practice for adults and children diagnosed with HIV as well as transgender individuals. Comprehensive Care was born out of federal legislation that was named after a teenage boy named Ryan White who was infected with HIV and diagnosed with AIDS in 1984 following a blood transfusion to treat hemophilia. In 1990, congress enacted the Ryan White CARE Act which provides funding for Comprehensive Care and programs like it around the country. Dr. Coco joined Comprehensive Care shortly after it’s creation in the late 1990s, and has remained with the practice ever since. Additional physicians have been added along the way. All of the physicians are HIV specialists, but were also trained as family physicians. Beyond standard primary care, all aspects of the HIV virus are treated by Comprehensive Care. While the social stigma of HIV remains and there has never been a cure for the virus, medication developed in the mid-90s have dramatically improved the quality of life for individuals who are HIV positive. The virus can be suppressed to the point where someone who is HIV positive will no longer be contagious.

Chris Solt is the Executive Director of The Fair Trade Federation, a community of fair trade enterprises from the U.S. and Canada who are committed to fair practices across their organizations. These member organizations build equitable and sustainable trading partnerships that create opportunities to alleviate poverty with those who face barriers to participate in the global economy as equals. Membership in the Fair Trade Federation means a commitment to fair trade practices across the entire organization, not just around an individual product. Members need to be able to demonstrate a systematic perspective on meeting the Federation’s principles. The Federation not only helps to promote the work of its members, but also the general principles of fair trade, building awareness around the idea that our global economy can include concern for the well-being of people and the environment, not just increasing profit. Members of the Fair Trade Federation demonstrate that reality across the board. Chris began this journey on a much different path, exploring his passion for music and sound production right out of high school. This experience led him to Cleveland where he was later introduced to Ten Thousand Villages, an organization based here in Lancaster County that has connections to the founding of the Fair Trade Federation decades ago. And recently the Federation moved their headquarters to Lancaster at The Candy Factory.

Nicole Vasquez is the founder of Nicole Taylor Boutique in Lancaster which focuses on ethically and sustainably made fashion and accessories for women, all sourced by designers who Nicole works with directly. She forms relationships with the designers she sells and makes sure she knows where and how the products are made. Nicole recently teamed up with her fiance Jebron Taylor, along with partners Dustin and Heather Lewis to launch Blazin J’s, a specialty chicken restaurant just off the square in Lancaster City in November of 2019. The restaurant is located on the same block as some of Lancaster’s premiere nightlife, so they set a goal to be open until 3am on Friday and Saturday nights. During their first month of business, their chicken was so popular that they sold out before closing time each weekend. Since we recorded this interview, Blazin’ J’s announced a second location at Park City Center in Lancaster, opening in January 2020.

Justin Turpin is a hypnotist and founder of Clear Change Hypnosis. He helps people take back control of their habits, thoughts, and emotions. As opposed to the cartoonish caricature of a stage hypnotist, Justin focuses on a kind of hypnotherapy that uses hypnosis for self improvement. This hypnotherapy can help you break through the resistance or roadblocks that are preventing you from reaching your goals, or it can give you the tools you need to stop undesirable behavior. It’s all based on an understanding of how your mind actually works. A big part of Justin’s passion for his work is simply helping people. His long term goals include sharing all that he has learned and continues to learn about hypnosis and the mind, and making it accessible to everyone regardless of your circumstances.

Lancaster Transplant is a local business with a social mission to help people who are new to the Lancaster area feel welcome in their new home. Jocelyn is passionate about connecting with people and helping people connect with others. She founded the organization over six years ago with co-founder Diane Richards, when she was new to the area and was looking for ways to meet others to share her experiences. Since that first gathering, a potluck dinner at a friend’s house, the organization has evolved over the years by opening up opportunities for trustees and paid memberships, like Robert Diggs, who was an early adopter and shortly thereafter became a part of the Lancaster Transplant leadership team. The leadership team has been an integral part of the organization as Jocelyn’s journey has recently taken her to Hummelstown, PA.

Gregory Tshudy is a personal trainer and the founder of EpitomeFIT, that offers a personalized holistic approach to getting in shape and reaching an optimal state of health and fitness. Gregory started out focusing on exercise but soon after discovered that there’s so much more to health than just exercise. He coaches his clients on other aspects of health like the impact of a good night’s sleep and what happens that quality sleep is hijacked by things like staring at a screen just before bed, an action that causes the body to generate cortisol. Excess cortisol in the body stores fat, which can cause weight gain, even while sleeping. Gregory’s journey to starting EpitomeFIT comes from a lifelong quest to uncover what makes the human body tick and how humans can maximize their health. His experience comes from his own experiments, some in traditional health and wellness activities, and others that have been a bit more extreme like going off the grid for several months starting in the fall of 2018. He and his wife spent several months living in a tent, planting their own food and living off the land to determine what the impact would be on their own health.

Today’s episode is our first in an ongoing series about the pivot, that moment when you decide it’s time to start a business, and ultimately what leads to that final decision. We’ll periodically feature two entrepreneurs to hear about their businesses and what that moment was like when they decided to start it. This episode features David McNaughton, founding partner with the digital development agency Cloak and Dagger, and Joella Gamon, founder of Gnomesy, a business that brings together plants and tech to help businesses add green space to their work environments. They’re are both working on their first start-ups, leaving decade spanning careers in the corporate world. For David, it was a classic case of corporate downsizing that pushed him in a new direction. Joella on the other hand had reached a point in her career where she was heading into another cycle of the same kind of work she had been doing for years.

Cherisse Feddock is founder of The Zen Dog Den and a Certified Dog Trainer with the International Association of Canine Professionals. Her approach is behavioral dog training, using methods that she learned studying under the dog whisperer, Cesar Millan. Cherisse is passionate about understanding dog psychology and the way the species naturally behaves, along with helping others use this knowledge to teach their dogs to be well-behaved and respectful, both at home and on the walk. But her journey to becoming a successful dog trainer started ten years ago, ironically on a tip from her mail carrier suggesting that she might be interested in the Humane League. Cherisse contacted the organization and began to volunteer. From dog foster volunteer, to dog walker, dog sitter, and eventually dog training, Cherisse Feddock has spent a lot of time with a lot of dogs. And in that pack, she is definitely the alpha!

Dr. Amanda Kemp is a racial justice and mindfulness mentor and the founder of Theatre for Transformation, a professional performing company that looks to heal the world through the performing arts. Years of intense racial justice advocacy and the need to take a break from touring her Theatre for Transformation productions led Amanda to mindfulness practices. Amanda spent a few years working alongside one of her own racial justice mentors before deciding to become a mentor to others. Her work combines her lifelong experiences as an advocate for inclusion and equality along with the mindfulness and self care practices that give her the energy to continue that work. For Amanda, being a mentor to someone is a two-way relationship walking beside each other and working together. She promises to her clients to be honest about her own struggles and to constantly be learning. Amanda offers a plethora of resources on her website for you to continue to learn and become involved with a growing movement of those who stand for justice, including a free mediation that we discuss on the show called Hold Space for Transformation.
