  • You don't get to decide what your brand becomes, a solo story with Tess
    Sep 4 2021

    In this solo episode, I share the story about how my brand evolved as a small business owner. The thing about branding is...you can plan, prep, and create all the components, but ultimately it's up to your customers to decide what your brand means to them.

As a long-time marketer and strength coach, I got you. I've basically created a gym for your business. If you’re an over-thinker, procrastinator, or perfectionist, these classes are for you.

  • Leaving space in your business for magic, with foam wig artist Toshie
    Aug 18 2021

    Toshie is the owner and lead artist at wigcraft.vegas, where she makes large-scale foam wigs. She’s currently working through the trials of being a small business owner as this hobby takes on a life of its own. While she has confidence in her “wigcrafting” and creative abilities, she is less comfortable with being an “entrepreneur.” Through it all, she can’t shake the urge to create. She is living in a high-contrast world and constantly contributing to new culture. If it is strange, she will probably be into it.

    In this episode, Toshie shares her thoughts on art, magic, and the challenges of entrepreneurship.

    Top takeaways:

    1️⃣ Following your passion can be self-serving and also be in service of others.

    2️⃣ Being visible & creating a brand can feel selfish and highlight identity stuff. That’s normal.

    3️⃣ Leave some room in your business plans for magic.

    4️⃣ Give yourself permission to enjoy the ride.
