Shoutout Social asked the founders of bUneke some important questions, like every day, we hear about how much execution matters, but we think  ideas matter as well. How did bUneke come up with the idea for the business?

Jennifer East and Mary Brotherton had been friends and work  colleagues for years, then Jennifer introduced Lynn Carol to Mary and a  third instant friend had been created. Though a long way from  retirement, the three women felt they had reached a point in life where  they needed to take control. They’d all worked in creative fields, and  each brought a unique skill-set and valuable traits that supported the  others. For instance. Lynn had been an event coordinator, entertainer,  and instinctive mentor to younger co-workers. Jennifer has been in  the entertainment field for many years as an artist, graphic artist, and  natural networker, in addition to creating her own magazines and  working on both ends of the camera as a film maker and talented actor.  Mary is a gifted writer, editor, and administrator.

 They often discussed dissatisfaction with their jobs and how they wanted  to do something more meaningful with the rest of their lives. Several  conversations led to the point of creation, until, one day over lunch,  as they were brainstorming, they decided to create a digital magazine.
