Aspen Business Connect is the creation of Jillian Livingston, content creator, documentarian, brand ambassador, and a connector at the heart of the Roaring Fork Valley community.
Jillian arrived in Aspen in 1990 from New York City, where she had worked in publishing at Simon & Schuster and as a Merchandising Editor at Seventeen Magazine. With a Broadcast and Film degree from Boston University and over 30 years of storytelling behind her, she has spent three decades doing what she does best: getting out into the valley, meeting the people who make it extraordinary, and making sure everyone knows about them.
What began as a personal blog grew into Aspen Real Life, a trusted media platform with 60,000+ followers built entirely organically over 25 years. Aspen Business Connect grew out of that same instinct, a curated, trust-based directory and community connecting the valley's best businesses with the people looking for them.
Today Jillian partnersa selectively with the brands she genuinely believes in and brings them into the conversation on her media platforms. Every business in the directory and every brand she works with has earned her endorsement through quality, integrity, and a genuine commitment to this community.
