Welcome to Throwback Thursday / “Where are they now?” where we take an in-depth look at someone whose story has evolved considerably since we first featured them. Recent segments have featured someone leading urban hiking tours in San Francisco and a guy who sells a lot of hair ties and shampoo to other men with long hair. Today, in our latest feature, we’ll hear from Jennifer Tripucka, New Jersey school counselor turned blogger who now has six employees and twenty contractors. Listen to today's episode to hear Jennifer's updates...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
