This week, yet ANOTHER inspiring Milwaukee woman ...
You are going to want to pull up a seat at the table for this conversation with Christie Melby-Gibbons, Founder and Executive Director of Tricklebee Café on North Avenue. This is NOT just your average café, in fact, it’s anything BUT average. A pay-what-you-can model offers patrons the chance to give and receive with a spirit of generosity, dignity, grace and abundance. This is a place to nourish your mind, body and spirit, and you can’t help but be inspired when you hear the story behind Tricklebee Cafe.

Listen as we talk about …

• Tricklebee’s origin story and where the name came from.
• Going deep with the practice of ‘radical hospitality’ and how we can all benefit from more of this in our own lives.
• You’ve heard of “trickle down” economics, but have you heard of “Tricklebee” economics? We’re convinced THIS is the way we should operate, see if you agree!?
• How a pay-what-you-can concept can really survive in the world today.
• The importance of knowing your community, knowing your neighbors and knowing your priorities.
• Will there be a Tricklebee 2.0 someday? Listen to find out.
