Welcome to the Meta Milspouse Roundtable Tour with Moni Jefferson

We are grateful for YOU, our listeners, partners, and sponsors. 

In this episode, Moni talks about the first Meta Roundtable at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. This specific location is very transient, with spouses only there for nine to ten months at a time. This makes it extra challenging to continue running a business, and many military spouses stationed there will put their business on hold or shut it down altogether.

Key takeaways from this episode include: 

  • Moni talks about the partnership with Meta and the places she’s been with other AMSE members and military spouses.  
  • Meta is a community-driven platform interested in learning about military spouse issues.
  • The spouses in attendance felt they could share their hearts and struggles as military spouse entrepreneurs with the Meta and The Center for Entrepreneurship. 
  • The spouses in attendance are service and product-based businesses. 
  • This two - three-hour roundtable discussion served lunch and refreshments with a discussion of essential topics for military spouses. 

AMSE is grateful for those who attended - including members of Meta - Haley Lickstein, Diana Doukas, and Maui Orozco, and members of The Center for Entrepreneurship - John Dearie and Katie Allen. We also had two chapter leaders from town to attend - Anna Larson and Andrea Singsaas. Plus, AMSE’s Operations Manager, Michelle Hughes. 

The Center for Entrepreneurship is working alongside AMSE to help legislate for military spouse entrepreneurs. Military spouses should be able to streamline the process of starting a business and pcs from state to state, country to country, without having to constantly jump hurdles or put their business on hold because of red tape.
