Summary
Today in the guest chair is Jerri Evans, the Owner of Turning Natural Juice Bars. Jerri was first on the show in 2017 and now she’s back with an update!
As the Owner of Turning Natural Juice Bars, Jerri Evans has revolutionized juicing in the “hood”. By bringing better choices to communities that otherwise lack access to healthy options, Jerri dedicated her mission to serving the often under-served and overlooked.
It was Evans’ late mother Annette Turner, who founded Turning Natural, after being diagnosed with Stage II Breast Cancer. Shortly after her mother’s transition, Evans quit her then excelling career as an Aeronautical Engineer to pursue helping those who were looking to take care of themselves.
Eight years and six locations later, Jerri has committed to continuing her mom’s legacy and trailblazing her own.
On this episode, hear how Jerri:
- Thinks about how and when to expand to a new location
- Addressed her shortcomings as a manager to make her team stronger
- Navigates “graduating” from a business she founded and having an exit strategy!
