In this episode of the podcast, host Shane Jeremy James, known as S1H, sits down with Jill De Chavez, the dynamic owner of Briteweb. This digital agency manages the online presence of mission-driven organizations, such as the David Suzuki Foundation. After years of overseeing large corporate projects, Jill took the bold step of becoming an owner by purchasing the very agency where she once worked.
