THE BLEND - Jess Rufo & Auron Stark of Dorothy's Estaminet joins Cara & John Krol The John Krol Podcast / The Blend

    • Society & Culture

Dorothy's Estaminet is the new hotspot in the downtown, drawing off the tradition of the former Mission Bar & Tapas and the living room of the region, Dottie's Coffee Lounge. Jess Rufo explains the concept of the "estaminet" which is a place for adult beverages but has a bit of a "shabby" fun vibe. That's perfect, and it's already become a hub for incredible live music, residencies with the likes of Gina Coleman and Misty Blues. Jess covers her own growth and change since the early days of starting Dottie's, and how that has impacted her management style. It's an open, honest, authentic conversation about family, life and running a business based on your passion.

Cara Krol is the wonderful author of the book, Fairy Slippers and the sequel, Molly Saves the Bees: https://www.fairyslippers.info/books
In addition to being an author, Cara is an energy healer and intuitive coach, and owner of Balance & Bliss Wellness, located in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts. Her website for her business Balance & Bliss Wellness is https://balanceandblisswellness.com

John Krol is the owner of One Eighty Media marketing agency, with expertise in building websites with top-notch SEO, digital marketing and online sales, branding, design and strategic marketing consulting. https://oneeightymedia.com/ a longtime radio/television and podcast host and producer.
John and Cara are raising a family of five kiddos between the ages of 8 and 15, making it all work!
