    • Boundary Breakthroughs with Susan Brown of For Pete Sake's Pottery

      Susan Brown, the artist behind For Pete's Sake Pottery, shares her journey and the importance of staying true to oneself. Susan is a ceramic artist with a style centered around southern charm and happiness which is evident from the moment you hear her voice.

      We talked about how she got her start and the muse behind her business aka her son Pete. How her tenacity and patience landed her one of the biggest partnerships of her career with actress Reese Witherspoon’s store Draper James and how she continues to stay on trend with new ideas. Susan’s lovable nature and positive outlook is refreshing and completely inspiring. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did.


      • Stay true to yourself and create what you love. Success comes when you stop listening to outside noise and focus on your own artistic vision.
      • How to find your inner artistic voice and the importance of setting boundaries.
      • Embrace happy accidents and learn from your mistakes. They can lead to unexpected and exciting creative outcomes.
      • Taking risks and putting yourself out there is essential for success.
      • Results may not always come quickly or in the way you expect, but patience and persistence are key.
      • Believe in yourself and stay true to your unique vision as an artist.

      • Introducing Creative Chronicles: My Story

        Welcome to the debut episode of The Creative Chronicles podcast! I'm so excited to have you join me on this journey exploring the world of small business artists. As the title suggests, this podcast is all about sharing the stories of creative individuals and their unique paths to success. But before we dive into those fascinating conversations, I want to take a moment to share my own journey with you.

        Like many, I started my career in the corporate world, but soon realized it wasn't where my true passion lay. Feeling a longing for something more fulfilling, I took a leap of faith and pursued a career in ceramic art, despite having no formal training. It's been a journey of self-discovery and perseverance, filled with highs, lows, and countless learning experiences.

        Now, as the host of The Creative Chronicles, I'm excited to shine a spotlight on other makers and their incredible stories. From exploring different art forms to uncovering the motivations behind their work, each episode will be a celebration of creativity and resilience. 

        Join me as we embark on this inspiring adventure together, filled with joy, positivity, and endless inspiration.
