  • Sand and Stone Media: Adding Value and Having Empathy During a Pandemic

    Recently I've been checking in on business owners to see how their businesses are going and what they've been doing during this shutdown time.  

    Absolutely loved this interview with Ben and Courtney Nielsen from Sand and Stone Media!

  • Luree Hammer: Working Behind the Scenes of a Hospital

    We don't often consider the behind the scenes people in a hospital. People usually only interact with nurses and doctors, but there are a whole host of people working around the clock to give the doctors what they need- Luree is one of those people.

    In this interview, she shed light on what goes on behind the scenes, why she chose that field, and some of the lessons she's learned.

    She also sheds some light on what it's like to be one of the essential workers during a pandemic.

    This was a particularly fun interview for me because Luree is my older sister :)

    ENJOY!

  • Curtis Harding: Shifting Gears for Business Success

    Pivoting is the word that comes to mind when I think of Curtis. From shifting degrees to moving to China to expanding into the online market, Curtis has had to shift his strategy and well as mindset throughout his business career. He'll be the first to tell you, though, that things don't always go the way you expect, and that isn't a bad thing.

    In this value-packed interview, we discuss how Curtis went from wanting to be a high school teacher to growing a massive international business team and some of the lessons he's learned along the way. 

    You won't want to miss this one!

  • Hannah Farr: Getting Creative to Grow a Theatre Company

    Creativity is the word that comes to mind when I think of Hannah Farr and her company, West Works Theatre. Starting with nothing, she and her team have had to use a ton of innovation and creativity to make their theatre company work.

    In this episode we talk about the creativity needed to build a company, where her love for theatre started, and how they are innovating during a time when people literally cannot attend live theater. 

    This has been one of my favorite interviews so far!

    What do you do when you're a personal trainer and your clients literally can't leave their homes? You innovate.

    In this episode, I talked with Jason Albini, a personal trainer who has had to do just that.

    What kind of perspective does one need to want to end world hunger? How about appreciation.
