   CTN #24 – Kacie talks to Heather Adams about franchising as a path into civic science entrepreneurship

   In this episode, host Kacie speaks with Heather Adams, owner of Snapology of Atlanta East, the show's first civic science entrepreneur to build through a franchise. Heather shares how a career in early childhood education and years as a preschool franchisee led her to buy into a STEM enrichment brand, and what it takes to make an established model succeed in your own community. They discuss choosing a franchise that fits your values, why she prioritized program quality over short-term profit in year one, the challenge of knowing when to delegate during rapid growth, and how a mobile business model helps her reach kids across Atlanta who haven't yet discovered STEM is for them.

Minista Jazz explains why she draws a hard line between a platform and a home, how the earliest support for her venture came from the people closest to her, and how she thinks about measuring impact when the goal is changing how people relate to technology itself.

   Host Kacie talks with Lauren Gregory, founder of the PAT app, about building a women's health platform from a background in market research and consumer insights.

She also speaks candidly about reworking her business model in real time and the kind of generational impact she hopes to have on public health research and policy. A conversation for anyone looking to turn a personal spark and existing skill set into a mission-driven venture.
