In this episode, I talk with Leigh Christian and Tracy Junkins from The Catalyst Center for Business & Entrepreneurship, which began as the Women’s Business Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Leigh is the TechRich 7(j) Project Manager at The Catalyst, and Tracy is the Project Implementation Manager. Tracy also brings the unique perspective of being a veteran and a military spouse. We talk about all the services available at The Catalyst, how technology allows their office in North Alabama to assist entrepreneurs from all over the country, and how Small Business Administration partners offer similar services across the nation.
