About this listen

 In this episode of The Road to Rich, host Aaron Rich sits down with Jenny Kelly, owner of Bookish Boutique, Panama City’s vibrant pink bookstore that’s become a cornerstone of downtown’s revitalization. Jenny shares her journey from launching the shop in just 25 days to creating more than a bookstore—it’s a gathering place, a wine bar, and a hub for book lovers and community connection.

She opens up about the challenges of running a small business, advocating for downtown growth, and why staying positive (even through eight months of road construction) has been key to her success. From author events to collaboration with other local businesses, Jenny’s story is an inspiring look at entrepreneurship, resilience, and the power of community.

Tune in for insights on building something unique, lessons learned as a business owner, and a glimpse into the exciting future of downtown Panama City.
