In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Jamie Myers and Jené Owens, co-owners of Joystick Gaming Lounge in Dixon, CA, to talk about the heart, faith, and strategy behind running a business while balancing marriage and community service.
Jené, a lifelong Dixon resident and former teacher, shares how her upbringing (watching her parents run one of the old A&W restaurants) planted the seeds for her entrepreneurial spirit.
