          • S2 Ep2: We're Back!! The Last 3 Years for Shannon, Kerri & House of Who

            Shannon and Kerri decided to do a little catch up on what's been going on in their lives, art and businesses over the last 3 years. 

            We discuss:

            - The trajectory of House of Who, Inc - Shannon's Brand Agency - growing to a 7 figure business and paying people to make art!

            - Shannon's art transforming from acting to making art out of business.

            - The time Shannon and Kerri tried to collaborate in Italy and it totally tanked! (And how that led Kerri to discover Human Design)

            - Kerri's imperative to become a full-time ArtistCEO in her own right and perform on stage again. 

            And much more!

            Enjoy :)
