#5 Supporting the Supporters, Military Spouses - Jen Pilcher, MilitaryOneClick
Being a military spouse prepared Jen Pilcher to be an entrepreneur. Learning to adapt with relocating and long spouse deployments gave her the impetus to help other military spouses deal with the stresses of military life. Aggregating resources was natural for Jen, and she grabbed the domain name, reached out to potential sponsors, got nothing and went to Plan B - typical startup cycle. Eventually, with the help of Facebook, audiences started to show up and the necessary resources noticed. The company name has now changed to Milspousefest, but the mission rolls on and military spouses are so, so grateful.\n\nVeteran Founder Podcast with your hosts Josh Carter and Carmen Nazario\n\nWe record the Felony Inc Podcast 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 Carolyn Main\n\nWebsite was designed by Cameron Grimes\n\nProduction assistant is Chelsea Lancaster\n\nTheme music: Artist: Tipsy Track: Kadonka Album: Buzzz Courtesy of Ipecac Records\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 Veteran Founder Podcast live on-air every Friday at 1:00pm pacific time on Startup Radio Network at startupradionetwork.com
