Education
We here at RTRC love a "girl leaves unfulfilling corporate job to follow her passions and becomes a raging success" story, and Lea Dixon - or The Platter Girl, if you're in the know - is a shining example. When Lea returned to her job from maternity leave to find her co-workers wrangling the same tedious issues from before she'd left, she had a lightning bolt moment of how to extract herself from the misery of 9-5. Cheese. Charcuterie is back in style, but Lea's been doing it longer (and better) than most, bringing a fun whimsy to grazing plates paired with gorgeous photography, an authentic social media presence, education, networking, and partnering with Oregon's incredible local vendors. SMART. Grab yourself some crackers and stuffed olives on a toothpick, and listen in on how Lea got to where she is, what's her very fave cheese, Elisha's best business tip for self-marketers, and the increasing growls of Shannon's tummy.
