  • Do you struggle with keeping up an art practice? Do the 100 day challenges you see on social media overwhelm you? You are not alone! On today's episode, we have Alanna Cartier, an illustrator, to share some of her wisdom on creating and maintaining a daily art practice. We loved this conversation and left inspired and ready to get back to creating daily!

    About Alanna

    Alanna is an illustrator, collector of cookbooks, mother to one fat cat, and cultivator of genius hair. She believes that talent is a myth that can stop us from pursuing our creative passions, and that practice makes progress and perfection is imaginary (and boring to boot!). She believes in community and collaboration over competition, and helps run the Everyday Creatives, an online creative cooperative. Alanna is a self-professed nerd for learning, and spends a generous amount of time on Skillshare, where she teaches and hunting for new classes to love.

  • Hiya Rebels!! We have a throwback episode today with Megan Auman. We chatted all things Pinterest with Megan and this episode is full of information and gems. Megan helps us understand how to look at Pinterest as a "brand magazine" for our product based business, to what kinds of things to pin and how to incorporate it into your marketing strategy. Be sure to take notes!

    About Megan

    Megan Auman is a designer and metalsmith who has bridged that gap successfully in her business. Not only has she grown her following on Pinterest and Instagram, but she’s successfully leveraged both visual platforms to sell her jewelry. In addition to running her eponymous jewelry line, you’ll find her at designinganmba.com, talking and teaching about the intersection of art and business.

  • Hey Rebels! We’re bringing back one of our favorite SHOP TALK Episodes. This is with Jacie Anderson-Coovert from Band of Weirdos. Jacie is the designer behind Band of Weirdos - an accessories and paper goods brand that mixes nerdy loves with nostalgia and sass. She feels pretty passionately that embracing our weirdness is the key to finding our footing in the world. The business was built as a way to bring weirdo people together who might otherwise feel alone.

  • Have you thought about selling on Amazon? Us too! There are a lot of myths about selling on Amazon as a maker so we needed backup. Rob Schad is a successful Amazon seller and also helps sellers up their game. We are so excited to have him on the show to answer all of our Amazon questions. As a bonus, Rob will be in the Facebook group if you have more questions after the episode. See you there!

    About Rob

    Rob made the decision to go left when all go right and "opt out" of going to college. In a short 13 months he started a business and grew it too over 250k in revenue. Since that point he has gone on to launch multiple other ventures including another Amazon based storefront and an Amazon marketing agency. He now focuses on working with purpose driven companies sell more of their product via Amazon.

  • Kit Cronk is back on the show to talk all about Kickstarter. Kit launched her line of enamel pins on Kickstarter with great success. When we talked to her on the podcast before, we had tons of questions about how to use Kickstarter to grow your business and knew we needed to have her back on. In this episode, Kit tells us why she decided to use Kickstarter and some of the things she learned along the way. She shares her top tips plus a few things to avoid. If you are looking for an alternative to a traditional product launch, then this episode is for you!

    About Kit

    Kit runs Kit Cronk Studio, where she designs products for book nerds and fangirls. Her products have been featured by companies like Etsy, GoodReads, Buzzfeed, and more. If you’re a total reading addict like Kit, then you need to check out her hilariously relatable mugs, cards, pins, and other awesome stuff! When she’s not working, you’ll probably find her reading ANOTHER fantasy book or watching superhero movies.

  • Today is a shop talk with the lovely Annya White-Brown from NaturalAnnie Essentials. We fell in love with her island vibe on Instagram and had to have her on the show. Annie creates amazing skin care and home products from her home. She tells us about her journey as a biz owner, how shows and wholesale have helped her grow her business and why connecting with others is so important. We know you will love this conversation as much as we did!

    About Annya:

    Born and raised on the beautiful island of Jamaica, Annya (Annie) is no stranger to the nourishing, healing power of oils and herbs. She has always been a creative soul, with an eye for all things bright 'n' bold (can you tell by her packaging?). She also loves plants and a huge glass of wine (Merlot please!).

    Annie’s first daughter Tiffany was born with Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus, and Annie turned to natural remedies to help Tiffany’s skin, as prescribed medication did not work. After trying a variety of natural butters, essential oils, and other natural oils, we finally found the remedy to her daughter’s skin issues. Essential oils and herbs are some of the most ancient and powerful remedies available, so Annie started to think about how they could be utilized in skin and hair care. Annie’s passion and knowledge grew, and in 2014 she decided to channel them into developing her unique brand. And NaturalAnnie Essentials burst into life!

    Today, NaturalAnnie Essentials is your island-inspired, one-stop shop for uniquely scented, handmade soy candles and bath & body products. Woman-owned and based in Bridgeport, Connecticut, we aim to make you look, smell, and feel good!

  • Mental Health is something that is rarely talked about, especially as it relates to running a business. Enter Sara McNally. Sara has a brick & mortar shop in Seattle and is on the show today sharing her own experience with anxiety while running her business. This is a candid conversation full of wisdom and honesty about a topic we feel needs to be highlighted more.

    About Sara

    Sara McNally is the owner of Constellation & Co, a letterpress stationery company and brick & mortar gift shop located in the Seattle Fisherman’s Terminal.

    Constellation & Co uses the power of words and the magic of snail mail to connect people and make us all feel less alone.

    Our line of cards and gifts are inspired by the events and occasions in life that are made sweet by close, honest relationships. Our work as Constellation & Co. is built for sharing joy and holding our loved ones close in the middle of pain.

    When Sara’s not working at the shop, she’s sending snail mail to her loved ones, buying copious amounts of fountain pens, and spending time with her husband and son.
