This heartfelt episode combines the spirit of Champions of Small Business and The Worx Podcast to shine a light on an incredible initiative that’s changing lives in Central PA.

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we're sitting down with Sarah Barr of Konhaus Print and Marketing and Jason Bacon from Diakon Adoption and Foster Care to discuss a powerful partnership bringing joy and hope to foster children and families in need.

Together, we explore the impact of our annual holiday toy drive and the broader mission of supporting children and families year-round.

Today, we're sitting down with Cameron Alleman of Mermaid Car Wash. Cameron is an inspiration to myself and many young entrepreneurs. His story perfectly encapsulates what this podcast is all about. We talk about everything from the financial woes of starting up, balancing work/family, the impact of community, to finally understanding why there are so many car washes popping up in our area.

Be sure to follow Cameron and Mermaid Car Wash on all major social medias. They are hosting their customer appreciation day today (July 20th, 2024) in Mechanicsburg. Be sure to stop by, get a wash and meet the man himself!
