Ginger Jones - Next Mile Network

Ginger Jones shares her journey from speech-language pathologist to entrepreneur and founder of Next Mile Network. Born to deaf parents, Jones was drawn to speech pathology from an early age, eventually building a successful therapy practice that she sold to private equity after reaching over $1 million in revenue. The conversation explores her transition from healthcare to creating Next Mile Network, a Nashville-based community that connects people based on core values rather than arbitrary business metrics. Jones discusses the importance of company culture, leadership development, and finding mentors for different phases of business growth. She reflects on lessons learned from building and scaling her therapy practice, including hiring challenges, the importance of clear communication rhythms, and creating welcoming environments for new employees. Throughout the discussion, Jones emphasizes the value of being of service to others, a principle modeled by her parents, and how authentic relationships and shared values form the foundation of successful business communities.
