Welcome to the Meta Milspouse Roundtable Tour with Moni Jefferson

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

 Moni talks about the second Meta Roundtable at JBLM - Joint Base Lewis McChord in Seattle, Washington. 

Key takeaways from this episode include: 

  • PCS weight limit was an issue discussed in this roundtable. The allotted weight limit to move isn’t enough for those with their own business and product-based businesses. 
  • Military spouse entrepreneurs are also interested in funding - where to find it, who to trust, and how to apply. 
  • 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. 
  • This two - three-hour roundtable discussion served lunch and refreshments with a discussion of essential topics for military spouses. 
  • We had ten spouses in attendance from all sorts of backgrounds. 
  • In attendance were also two senate representatives: Dan Sullivan and Lisa Murkowski

AMSE is grateful for those who attended - including Meta - Haley Lickstein, Maui Orozco, and members of The Center for Entrepreneurship - John Dearie and Katie Allen. Plus, JBLM Chapter leaders - Rachel Carpenter and Serena West. 

We are grateful for our sponsors and partners - Meta and The Center for Entrepreneurship. 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.
