Ep: 018 – Tracey Allen, Founder of 9 to 5 not Business Solutions
Host BriGette McCoy speaks with Navy veteran and successful business owner Tracey Allen. Allen’s business, “9 to 5 not Business Solutions,” helps promote small businesses through video marketing, a skill she taught herself after her service.
Allen joined the navy in 1984, with the dream of working in aviation, as she longed to travel and meet a diverse group of people. While serving in the Navy, Allen formed deep and meaningful relationships, including her now ex-husband and several current business clients.
Allen is adamant that all of our experiences build us into the person we are now and will help us in the future, a belief she showed in a video of her hula hooping and smiling to uplifting music right before her second breast cancer surgery. She feels that everyone should get in touch with whatever brings them joy, including the power of exercise for fun, not work.
