S2E6: An Interview with Firestarter Heather Boschke


Listen Later

Glitter, Grit, and Growth is thrilled to interview a marketer, professor, and bird lover: Heather Boschke. In 2021, Heather founded Vogel Venture, a small business marketing company and also began drawing birds as a creative outlet after the COVID lockdown. These adorable little birds are now featured in her children’s book series, Little Birdie Buddies. Heather’s mission is to “spread joy one bird at a time.”

This podcast is for you if you believe that:

● Embracing a growth mindset and being brave enough to suck at something new is a must.

● Fear should be acknowledged but shouldn’t stop you from doing epic shit!

● It should be a “No” unless it’s a “Hell Yes!”

● There’s more than enough for everyone.

● Your energy will tell you where to go next. Listen and trust the process.

● People are so much more than titles and the boxes others put them in.
