Entrepreneurship can be a lonely field to be in, but it doesn’t have to be. And that’s exactly what this week’s guest, Kimberlee Denise, believes. Kimberlee is the founder and executive director of The Flourishing Agency. At the heart of what she does is creating a community through leadership and professional development. Kimberlee shares her journey from being a Whitehaven native to a classroom teacher to now, an entrepreneur. 

Kimberlee also reflects on what being a Chamber member and Ambassador has meant to her business, from her ribbon cutting in White Haven that drew nearly 70 people to the intimate connections she’s made at events like the Felicia Suzanne’s reopening. And she traces the entrepreneurial thread running through her family — her grandmother’s custom drapery company, her first job at a family member’s dollar store at 15 — that made coming home to build her business the only option that ever made sense.

She leaves us with a phrase she’s carried through years of working with entrepreneurs: done beats perfect, but you can’t perfect what you don’t do.
