Sisters-in-law Katie Hanna and Emily Hanna Mayock are here at the studio this week, talking about starting up the business they’ve always dreamed of running as a team. They run a marketing and communications agency together, and it really felt like this conversation was a peek behind the curtain at how fun their day-to-day operations can be!

In this episode we really dove into the perspective shift from task taker to recommender. When Katie and Emily made that transition in each of their careers, it took a while to work and strengthen that muscle. One day they realized they had been doing it well for the organizations they worked for and recognized it was time to do it as women business owners themselves.

We also cover their mission to empower other women business owners through clear and confident messaging, the first client to fill out the intake form on their website (hint: it has to do with their kids being all-in on this business idea), and the storybook tale of how they met and their lives have intertwined.
