The recession that began in the late 2000s was personal for Stefanie Overturf.
Soon after it began, in 2008, Overturf was laid off from her marketing position at the Bradenton Herald, a daily newspaper in Manatee County. “I was devastated and scared, and I didn’t know what I was going to do,” says Overturf, a Bradenton native and Palmetto High School graduate. “I felt rejected, and I didn’t want people to know I had been laid off.”
