Join us this July 4th from 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM for our special Christmas in July broadcast as we welcome Mona Samaan-Ockenden, founder of Mona Moon Naturals!

Mona's journey is one of purpose, passion, and perseverance. After spending 25 years in the engineering and consulting industry, her life took a meaningful turn following her sister's breast cancer diagnosis. Motivated to find safer, more natural alternatives for personal care, Mona founded Mona Moon Naturals, a clean, small-batch skincare brand dedicated to simplicity, wellness, and ingredients you can actually recognize.

Today, Mona creates handcrafted products designed to nurture both the body and mind while giving back to the community. A portion of every sale supports cancer-related charities, making every purchase part of a larger mission of hope and healing.

Tune in as Mona shares her inspiring story of transformation, entrepreneurship, wellness, and making a difference through purpose-driven business.

Join us on What's Up Rochester this Saturday, June 27th from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM on Rochester Free Radio 106.3 FM as we welcome Stu Petch, owner of White Dog Ink!

Stu's entrepreneurial journey is one of determination, creativity, and hard work. Originally from England, Stu's path took him from the Cayman Islands to Rochester, where he transformed a small screen-printing setup in his attic into a thriving custom apparel and embroidery business serving Rochester and the surrounding communities.

Today, White Dog Ink produces everything from one-of-a-kind custom pieces to large-scale orders for local businesses, organizations, and events. We'll talk with Stu about building a business from the ground up, the challenges and rewards of entrepreneurship, supporting local businesses, and his exciting new apparel ventures, Honey Beenies and GooseDog Disc Golf.

If you've ever wondered what it takes to turn a passion into a successful full-time business, you won't want to miss this conversation.
