Frenzied, running three businesses simultaneously, Faith Dionne lost track of some of the basic things in life, including family. So J-A-Z stands for Jack and Zoe, her children. It was a deliberate move to get control of that balance between business and life. She started a healthy candy bar company, Bees and Beans, in 2010 that she subsequently sold, so Faith is an experienced entrepreneur, growing the company naturally and steadily and then exiting. Then the move to JAZ, not all that distant from Bees and Beans, using the local and natural environment to inspire a new food offering. Faith grew up in a forested area, engaging nature and JAZ Spirits embraces the native foods and spirit to distill and produce the liquors. Currently, the company produces a line of gins that embrace the great northwest and its ambiance.\n\n"Masoni and Marshall the meaningful Marketplace" with your hosts Sarah Masoni and Sarah Marshall\n\nWe record the "the Meaningful Marketplace" inside NedSpace in the Bigfoot Podcast Studio in beautiful downtown Portland.\n\nAudio engineer, mixer and podcast editor is Allon Beausoleil\n\nShow logo was designed by Anton Kimball of Kimball Design\n\nWebsite was designed by Cameron Grimes\n\nProduction assistant is Chelsea Lancaster\n\n10% of gross revenue at Startup Radio Network goes to support women entrepreneurs in developing countries thru kiva.org/lender/markgrimes\n\nListen to the "Masoni and Marshall the meaningful marketplace" live on-air every Friday at 9:00am pacific time on Startup Radio Network at startupradionetwork.com
