Shownotes

In this week’s episode of the Jackson Hole Connection, Stephan visits with Nona Yehia. Nona is a wife, mother, entrepreneur, an architect and the child of Lebanese immigrants. Nona came out to Jackson with her husband Mark to take a break from New York…a break that has lasted for over 15 years. Nona is the CEO and a founder of Vertical Harvest, she also is a co-founder of the architecture firm GYDE.

Stephan and Nona talk about growing up in Detroit with immigrant parents, starting one of the first vertical greenhouses, working with people who are differently abled and the importance of listening to your detractors, not just supporters.
