Episode 7. Service, Kindness & Keeping A Community Together
The conversation
About Lauren Kelley.
Lauren Kelley sat down for Kumite Lifestyle. That conversation is episode 7, “Service, Kindness & Keeping A Community Together”.
Lauren is the manager at the Dewey Beach Surf Shop in Delaware. She started there shortly after graduating high school and kept working there through college, where she studied digital communications and social media marketing.
She wears a lot of hats: customer service, ordering, inventory, shipping online orders and planning the shop's bonfire events. She took it on herself to help build the shop's online store.
Lauren also shares how she kept the shop going for Tyler through a very hard time, and how the community showed up with support.
