Welcome to the season four finale of Off the Grid! Today I'm joined by acupuncturist, herbalist, breathwork facilitator, + clinic co-owner Amy Kuretsky to talk about everything creative small business.
 
In this conversation, Amy walks us through how she built a successful brick and mortar business AND a successful online business over the past decade. Then she explains what led her to wind down + close her online business a little over a year ago — including how endings can be messy, no matter how much permission you give yourself to change.
 
So the first 55 minutes is a deep dive into Amy's business journey and the many, many lessons she's learned. Then in the last 40 minutes, Amy offers us her best advice for brick and mortar businesses, including how to grow your space, lead a team, and market to IRL communities.
 
You absolutely do not want to miss this episode, and at 95 minutes it's a nice snack to chew on while the show goes on break until January. 🩵 See you in 2025, friends! xo, Amelia
