In this episode of The Riley Black Project, we sit down with Jess of Script & Grain — a former teacher turned full-time laser business owner, mom of five, and early riser (seriously... 4am!). She shares her journey from calligraphy and wedding signage to launching her own creative laser brand, all while juggling a big family and building a life of freedom.

We dive into:

-Her bold leap from teaching to entrepreneurship
-How maternity leave (or lack of it) shaped her decisions
-The power of collaboration in the maker community
-Why representation matters for creative kids
-How AI and audiobooks are transforming small biz owners
And yep... we even chat about weddings and go-away pricing 🤣

This one’s equal parts real talk, resource gold, and inspiration for any maker or creative on the rise.
