WHAT A MESS

In 2017 I was held at gun point in my first MESS studio space. See how I transitioned through the MESS; healed as I opened up our new flag ship retail production space. 

Sometimes a reset is the only way forward. As I wrap Season 1, this episode revisits all my resent MESS. We had an overwhelmingly good month in April and as we went into May with social distancing and limited employees and shop hours, we run into a BIG MESS; causing us to shut down for 30 days. 

As I embark on the journey of moving from my studio production space to a store front, I tackle the challenges of embracing new MESS. I decided to do it with fear.

The middle is not prettiest, it’s the mess we often don’t tell anyone about; it’s really the mess you try to forget.  Your mess is just obstacles in a race you have to jump over.
