What the heck is a Sippi?

“Sippi” is short for Mississippi – because our state has a lot of letters. The name is also a play on words because we record our podcast out of a coffee shop while sipping on wonderful beverages. What marketing brilliance!?!

Anyway, the Sippi Podcast is our attempt to make the entrepreneurial journey a little less lonely – especially for those of us doing this journey in small or rural towns across the country. So take a listen (or three) and tell us what you think via the Contact or Social Media Pages. But don’t be mean, we just released our first episode in March 2024 and have no clue what we are doing. =)
