MAKE.

This gal... what a breath of fresh air! Lisa is a maker of wooden signs, furniture, and all of the beautiful wooden things. Join us as we talk about that time we met during a snowstorm in September, consignment and the retailer relationship, balance, safety, Kreg jigs, the value of a clean workspace, and scary, scary dune buggies. This wand definitely chose this wizard. [51:52]

Hey, "Sweet Pea!" I've said it before, and I'll say it again... Melanie's work will make you fall in love with florals. This fine artist is as insightful about business and life as she is talented. We chat about her stunning "loose" floral art, how she used to dislike painting (say what?!), the perks of having a specific niche, imposter syndrome, and how to pronounce fancy art words like giclee (go ahead, try it). She even shows me her unusually long tongue.

It's the meeting of the Jen(n)s! "Pillow Jen" is the first maker I met on this journey of mine (even if she doesn't remember) and was also my very first customer. Join us as we reminisce and discuss all things making and pillow covers, including her history on a microphone, how to set ourselves apart from big box stores, handling unhappy customers, and that material bomb that lives in every maker's closet.

Today we get real with Becca from Paper Tiger Photography! She is as genuine and honest as the photos she takes. Join us as we have REAL talk about all things photography and small business, including how to connect genuinely with customers, the importance of representation, and being true to your aesthetic. This is a long one (I could have talked to her for hours), so grab your drink of choice, sit back, and take a swig every time we say "bangs."

Marketing can be a beast for small businesses. Where to start? Where to focus your efforts? Join the me and the ladies of Featured Media, Taylor & Rene, as we discuss all things marketing.
