After failing at her first try at being an entrepreneur--a paint company that was more an excuse to stay in North Carolina during a summer in college--Brooks Bell has succeeded in seemingly everything else she has done, from catching AOL's attention in the early days of internet marketing to founding her own company, Brooks Bell, as well as starting HQ Raleigh and ThinkRaleigh.
Now she has a new calling: raising awareness about colon cancer--a diagnosis she received in the past year--and letting people know that it is a fast growing problem, trending younger, but also one that can be fairly easily screened. We talked to Brooks about her career, her cancer, and her relationship with her husband Jesse Lipson.
Ashton and Hayes also talk about potential new buildings in downtown, and a couple well known Raleigh sports figures announcing the close of a chapter. And we discuss what happened when we asked folks to share their #Top3Raleigh places to take their dog.
