THE CONNECTION WITH JAY MIRALLES
The Dough that Makes a Difference - Jodi Jefferson's Baking Impact
NOV 03, 2023 EPISODE 26
Picture yourself in an Air Force dorm room, the sweet scent of home-baked cakes wafting through the halls. A young woman is hunched over a makeshift baking station, meticulously crafting the perfect treat. This is where the journey began for my guest, Jodi Jefferson, a highly decorated Air Force veteran and the founder of Busy Bee Baking Company. From baking treats for presidents to raising thousands for charitable causes, Jodi's story is a genuine testament to the power of passion and giving.
Deliciously melding her love for baking with philanthropy, Jodi has baked her way into countless hearts while raising funds for Wounded Warriors and other charities. Her Thanksgiving bake sale tradition, born on Air Force One, symbolizes the spirit of giving that she embodies. Jodi isn't just crafting delectable treats, she's building a community that supports small businesses and makes a meaningful impact. As a ketogenic lifestyle follower, she also shares her unique experience with keto baking, proving how versatile and inclusive baking can be.
Jodi’s story does not end with her baking prowess. As we chat about Project Intentional, a non-profit focused on helping families in Jodi's area, we delve into how small acts of kindness can make a world of difference. Through her actions, Jodi embodies the essence of touching lives beyond the confines of her bakery. So, join us as we unravel this heartwarming journey of baking, philanthropy, and unforgettable connections.
