Today, Jenni is live in the studio with none other than the Next Level "Breakthrough of the Year" winner, Chanelle Jefferson. Every year at Business by Design Live, a handful of finalists take the stage to share their massive transformations in a five-minute, TED-Talk-style presentation. The live audience votes, and Chanelle took home the top honor along with a $20,000 cash prize. Why? Because she completely revolutionized how artists sell their work, choosing to step off the exhausting, traditional hamster wheel of hoping and praying at gallery shows to build an incredibly intentional, highly profitable digital machine.Â
