Jenna talks about pitching to Dragon’s Den, receiving advice from Arlene Dickinson, developing The Lighthouse Cookie Company, and exploring crowdfunding as a way to support the company’s next stage of growth. Jenna also shares the social impact at the heart of the business. The cookies are produced in partnership with the Flowercart Group, a social enterprise that creates training and employment opportunities for people facing barriers to employment. For Jenna, growing the company isn’t only about selling more cookies. It’s also about creating jobs, strengthening communities, and sharing a little piece of Nova Scotia with the world. From the Golden Globes and Emmys gifting suites to Whistler, Thailand, Singapore, and cookies travelling all the way to Japan, Jenna’s story is a reminder of what can happen when you keep showing up, make connections, ask the question, and stay open to where an opportunity might lead. Learn more about Jenna Ross: Happy Place Property Management The Nova Scotian Cookie CompanyInterested in the upcoming crowdfunding opportunity?
