The
Enrichment
Entrepreneur

You’re invited!

There are more than 100,000 youth enrichment businesses in the U.S. —
yet until now, there hasn’t been a podcast dedicated to the people actually running them.
The Enrichment Entrepreneur brings together operators from every corner of the industry to talk honestly about growth, hiring, partnerships, systems, retention, expansion, and what it really takes to build an enrichment business that lasts.

Meet Dr. Arielle Hammond

Former Educator & Principal
Dr. Arielle Hammond is a former educator and school principal who understands what works in schools and what it takes to lead and build.
Founder of Journey to STEAM
She left the classroom to build Journey to STEAM, a for-profit enrichment company now operating at 75+ school sites across the Pacific Northwest.
Builder of 75+ Sites
Serving 2,500+ students with a 95% school partner renewal rate, she built it from the ground up and knows firsthand how to hire instructors, manage contracts, run programs at scale, an keep a business alive through every season.
Creating Community
She created The Enrichment Entrepreneur because she kept meeting incredible people in this space who had no community, no roadmap, and no one to call. This show is her answer to that.

Arielle is a genuine connector. When she meets someone in this space and thinks of another operator or opportunity that could be a good fit, she makes the introduction. Guests don't just get an episode. They enter a network of people Arielle is actively building relationships with across the enrichment world.
