My youngest daughter Stephanie and I run a software company here in Mukwonago. I started this business 5 years ago and when Covid hit, Stephanie came home from finishing her first year in college and joined me in the company. She was just going to take a gap semester and 2 years later, she’s still with me. She fell in love with working with clients and helping them automate their sales and marketing.
