Jen Van Ee started her strategic communications firm as a moonlighting project but took the venture full-time after one too many toxic work cultures. Jen chats with Justine and Kate about taking her own advice, the trade-offs between getting the work and completing the work, and how leaning into her core values (supporting women) has led to new contracts and opportunities. Stay tuned after the break as Kate and Justine share a round-up of some of the best West Michigan organizations for networking, finding opportunities, and creating connections.
