Manage episode 374383009 series 3502367
Leah Mueller and Jared Yarnall-Schane's cool job in State College: owning and running Singing Onstage, a children's musical theatre program.
Leah and Jared are both life partners and business partners. Leah grew up performing in and around State College, taught music at a local school, and went on to pursue her MFA in acting. Jared went to Penn State State, stuck around to launch an urban agriculture startup, and has been working in the startup space ever since.
In this episode, Leah and Jared talk about how they ended up purchasing a property in State College that was not just an existing business, but also a house. They discuss the theatre scene in the area, as well as the opportunities that exist for young people to purchase existing businesses.
Make sure you stick around through the end of the episode - we'll enter our segment called "How to Do the Thing," where Jared and Leah will give you three actionable steps you can take towards buying a small business in State College.
