The Franchise Jay Claxton says about Dr. CaSay, “She gives me the freedom to be me, and it is not intimidating. We both understand the other’s value and we encourage it.” To these couplepreneurs, working together is an act of mutual respect and trust. Not only is their working relationship a successful one, but it is also one of mutual care and support. Dr. CaSay told us, “I often tell people I am Jay’s rib, but he is my spine, we can not move without the other.”
In addition to doing their own work, Dr. CaSay and The Franchise Jay Claxton pay it forward to their fellow creators by providing a platform on which they can be seen, heard, and read.
