109 - A Business That Shouldn’t Work… But Thrives in Knoxville
What kind of business shouldn’t work… but somehow thrives?
In this episode, we sit down with the owner of one of Knoxville’s most unique local businesses—a cat café that has built a loyal following, created a strong sense of community, and helped facilitate over 1,000 cat adoptions.
We talk about:
• How the idea started (and why it almost didn’t make sense)
• What makes Knoxville such a powerful place for small businesses
• The role community plays in long-term success
• What most people misunderstand about building something unconventional
If you’re local, visiting, or thinking about moving to Knoxville, this is the kind of place you need to know about.
