In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Jen Fox—an entrepreneur, a community builder, and honestly, the kind of woman who doesn’t just talk about it, she shows up. We get real about what it takes to lead from the heart, to stay grounded in your values, and to keep pushing forward when the outcome isn’t what you prayed for. Jen opens up about the firecracker grandmother who lit her up with a passion for advocacy and inclusion—and how that legacy now lives on in her family’s brewery, Spiral, where they’re not just pouring beer, they’re pouring community. This conversation is about heart, grit, and the messy, beautiful work of showing up anyway.
Among many other topics, we explore:
Leading from the Heart: Jen shares what it means to lead with a strong sense of community and stay rooted in your values, even when the outcome isn't what you hoped for.
The Firecracker Grandma: We talk about how Jen's grandmother, a "firecracker" who advocated for everyone, taught her the heart of inclusion and the importance of having a strong support system.
Brewing Community: We dive into Jen’s family business, Spiral Brewery, which is more than just a business—it's a mission to "brew community through quality beer and rich history."
Join us for a beautiful and inspiring episode filled with layers of richness about how hope lives right next to despair, how to be part of the "untangling process" of problems, and the powerful lesson that showing up with what you can is always enough.
