Programs from the Civic Science Media Lab (CSML) Audio Studio feature in-depth interviews with diverse experts who share actionable insights from their work on topical issues in civic science from multiple perspectives. The audio format provides guests with an additional way to share new insights, creating a synergistic effect with other programs on the network, on video and digital print.
In this episode, host Kacie speaks with Heather Adams, owner of Snapology of Atlanta East, the show's first civic science entrepreneur to build through a franchise. Heather shares how a career in early childhood education and years as a preschool franchisee led her to buy into a STEM enrichment brand, and what it takes to make an established model succeed in your own community. They discuss choosing a franchise that fits your values, why she prioritized program quality over short-term profit in year one, the challenge of knowing when to delegate during rapid growth, and how a mobile business model helps her reach kids across Atlanta who haven't yet discovered STEM is for them.
