Mind Yo' Business S7:E9 The Business of Books, Community, Controversy, and Connections with Literature

The Pritchett Brothers Studio was excited to have a terrific co-owner of Morgenstern Books, Jenna Bowman, joining us for the September interview.  Jenna's background started with a love for books at a young age when a local library allowed her to escape from the craziness of her home life.  From there, she expanded her love for literature and music by working at a record store before managing a large Barnes and Nobles location.  Years of management structures left her feeling exhausted and when COVID-19 hit, she was challenged with balancing keeping a store alive with personal happiness.     This episode is filled with so much heart, truth, and direct speak to the world of books, any avid readers shouldn't miss it.  From talking about what "banned books" means and does for the communities, to understanding what 1st Amendment Rights mean to writers and protestors of books, to leveraging analytics to determine if an author is actually worth shelf space, this episode covers a lot of interesting topics.     With humorous concerns about whether she's being interviewed by the correct "Lambert" to a spirited explanation of why she's more invested in starting a book festival, Jenna Bowman shares insight and advice that will positively impact any business owner.  Don't miss the ending when a wonderful sub for the podcast master helps to finish the episode!       Podcast Studio Sponsor Podcast Sponsor Podcast Sponsor Episode 7-12 Sponsor Episode 7-12 Sponsor
