EP #100: Creating Community Through Affordable Fun Adventure and Women's Empowerment
Manage episode 479600359 series 3639357
What makes Jean Walton with Everyday Girl Adventures a good neighbor?
Jean Walton never intended to build a business empire, but her passion for creating accessible, affordable fun led to exactly that. As founder of Everyday Girl Adventures, she's developed a unique formula that supports women entrepreneurs while fostering community connection through her boutique social space and art venue in Colorado Springs.
"Everything I do is affordable, accessible, and fun," Jean explains, describing how her Old Colorado City location has become a hub for women-owned businesses and local artists. The space transforms throughout the week—hosting vendor markets on Saturdays, functioning as a workspace during weekdays, and serving as a rental venue for workshops and events. This flexibility reflects Jean's adaptable approach to business, where creating special memories and supporting small businesses go hand-in-hand.
What makes Jean's story particularly compelling is her organic expansion into publishing through Misfit Press. After creating the "Everyday Adventures" anthology series—where community members contribute their personal stories—she taught herself publishing from the ground up. Now she offers these services to others, making dreams of authorship accessible to everyday people. When questioned about the seemingly disconnected ventures under her umbrella, Jean remains clear: women are her focus because "we show up for each other, we cheer each other on, we're inspired by each other's journeys." Perhaps most inspiring is how she transformed her feelings of being a "misfit" in the business world into a brand strength. "When I make a mistake or don't know what I'm doing," she laughs, "I'm just representing my misfit brand." Ready for an adventure that's both everyday and extraordinary? Connect with Everyday Girl Adventures online or visit their Colorado Springs location to experience Jean's unique vision firsthand.
