      5. 96. Finding The Best Way to Run Your Business Based on Your Brain, Lifestyle & Habits with Hunter Myers, Verdure Design Co

        Do you sometimes feel like no matter how hard you push yourself in business, you have a hard time accomplishing some things? This is normal!

        All of our brains are different, some people are morning people, some people are more productive in the afternoon, some of us are neurodivergent, some of us need to be in a quiet room, some need to be in a coffee shop — needless to say, there is not a one size fits all routine to business. 

        About this weeks guest - Hunter Myers founded Verdure Design Co. on the belief that your brand is an opportunity to build connection. With over 10 years of illustration experience and over 6 years of design experience, Hunter is putting her talent and skills to use helping minority business owners develop stellar brands. Her degrees in English and Sociology paired with her neurodivergent brain have helped her craft a unique branding process developed to breathe life into traditionally static design. When she isn’t helping clients reach their goals, you can find her hamming it up at competitive karaoke or at home watching Jurassic Park for the thousandth time.


        Action Steps:

        1. Map out your energy to figure out when you are most productive
        2. Reach out and ask questions to someone you admire in business
        3. Write down your “why” for business.
