Welcome to our 4th episode of Why Raleigh? where I, Raleigh native Flo Lumsden, sit down with this season's co-host Chauncey Zalkin, a NYC transplant who’s lived in mostly big international cities working in fashion, magazines, and advertising until now (stay tuned to find out where).

Chauncey chose Raleigh because she thought it was “an incredible place to raise children and find community.” While I don't have kids yet, I couldn’t agree more! We discuss dinner parties, the intricacies of navigating I-40, creative entrepreneurship, forging non-linear career paths, and owning your expertise. Chauncey Zalkin is not only a talented writer, brand strategist, and storyteller but also a kick-ass mom to twin daughters.
