  • Ep. 16 Experiential Marketing with AGEN-C Founder Cara Kleinhaut
    With Cara Kleinhaut founder of AGENC — the experiential marketing agency behind brand moments for Dior, Paramount, and the 16-year run of the Essence Black Women in Hollywood gala. Cara built one of LA's most respected agencies over twenty years, recently earning a Lifetime Achievement Award at Biz Bash. We talk about the slow, unglamorous build of a creative business, running a company with her husband, why "hustle" feels outdated, what COVID taught her about life outside of work, and why she believes in-person experiences are about to have a major comeback.

  • Ep. 16 Wedding Photography with Cedar and Pines
    This is an episode with Megan Wood, a wedding photographer based in Joshua Tree, California and the creative behind Cedar and Pines. Megan has built an internationally recognized career over the last decade, but this conversation goes far beyond the highlight reel. We talk about what it really looks like to heal through your work, how presence and communication shape both the craft and the business, and what it means to keep evolving as a creative year after year. Megan shows up with so much honesty in this one, and I think you'll leave feeling a little more seen in whatever chapter you're currently in.

  • Ep. 14 One Stem at a Time with Nick Floral
    With Nick Floral - an LA Based Floral Design Business specializing in everything from seasonal flower deliveries and events to custom semi permanent floral installations. I got to talk to Nick in person at his flower studio about what it actually looks like to build a creative identity—without having everything perfectly mapped out. We talk about starting over, evolving your style, and how the most meaningful work isn’t something you force—it’s something that develops over time. This episode is a reminder that the best work is built slowly, piece by piece—one stem at a time.He approaches floristry in a really contemplative way—where it’s not just about making something look beautiful, but about creating something you actually pause and sit with just like art. @nick.floral and nickfloral.com

  • Ep. 13 Evolving Success with Storylines Floral Co

    A great entrepreneurial convo with Jess Quick! The founder of Storylines Floral Co — a floral design business that spans both California and Montana.

    Jess has been in the floral industry for over eight years and has built a business that not only thrives creatively, but has also evolved through major life changes — including relocating states and managing her business in two states - something that rarely happens successfully for small businesses.

    In this conversation, we dive into the less-talked-about side of running a creative business — the plateaus, the seasonality, the identity shifts that come after the hustle years, and the courage it takes to build a life that supports both your work and your well-being.

    Jess shares what it really looks like to grow a business in two places at once, how moving to Montana reshaped her creativity and nervous system, and why she’s embracing a slower, more intentional version of success — even if it means taking on unexpected roles along the way.

    If you’ve ever felt stuck, questioned your next chapter, or wondered if you’re the only one figuring it out as you go — this episode is going to feel like a deep exhale.
