    070: Living Abundantly Creative with a Diversified Business with Jana Roach
    May 4 2023
    Podcast 070 | Living Abundantly Creative with a Diversified Business with Jana Roach3:52 “The walls are 21 inches of bricks. So it's a very sturdy, old, amazing building. And when we walked into it to rent it, there was pigeon poop everywhere. And the tar that they used to use for the inside, they had hay and tar mixed together all on the walls. So it was not pretty. But to most people, you would walk in and be like just tear it down and sell the lot.” 12:47 “And [my business partner] is very good at never taking anything personally. And so it's always, “okay, how can we solve this? Okay, I totally see your side of that. Here's my side of it.” And I am learning to be more that way.” 21:22 “It was just one of those things coming out of 2008, we got to go do something that isn't construction, right? So he worked a lot of years in the oil field, and while we were there, towards the end of it, we were feeling so stuck and he was just a shell because he is so creative.” 22:43 “So he's carving 20-30 mushrooms at a time. And then we would take preorders on Instagram, and we would say, all right, we're going to be delivering to Salt Lake City on this date, so let us know how many mushrooms you want.” 27:54 “And I think that's where both Vanessa and I… We will do the craziest things, but we know that there's always something good that comes out of it. So say yes as much as you can. If it seems like there's going to be too much work involved, there probably is, but at the very least you have a great story.” 30:09 “We had to scale overnight. And he brought on another carver, And it's not easy to hire for that position because you have to have the artistic sense to create something that is going to work, but also looks like what you want it to look like.” 34:12 “I would say the work life balance is one of the things that we have honestly struggled with most because sometimes we're really good at prioritizing family time and time with the boys and sometimes because of finances or a deadline, it's like, sorry, we've got to work this weekend.” 35:22 “But it's so hard to make time for God in all of this business and family. You get so overwhelmed and you're putting a ton of time and energy into making this thing a success that you're trying to do for the glory of God, that you realize that you're neglecting your relationship with God.” 38:26 “I just think in time that we live in, it's so easy to just scroll. And the worst for me is when I'm not working on businesses and I'm like, I have been watching reels of dogs for an hour and a half. What am I doing?” 40:39 “[When opening a brick and mortar,] be prepared to spend and invest more than you think you will need to when you first start out.” 43:53 “[when creating a product,] You're not going to get it right the first time. There are so many iterations of products that we've designed that aren't quite right the first time, so you have to tweak it, and you just have to keep trying.” 48:14 “[College] was awful for me. I had no idea what I wanted to do. And I think, honestly, it was a hard mindset shift because I felt like I was failing because I wasn't doing the college thing.”Jana Roach is a creative business owner, vintage shop owner, and designer/decorator who lives in north-western Montana with her husband and two boys.

    069: The Kitchen Table Creative Club with Jennifer Rizzo
    Apr 18 2023
    Podcast 069 | The Kitchen Table Creative Club with Jennifer Rizzo3:31 “I thought, well, a newsletter is a low-risk way for me to get ideas out there to share with people. And every newsletter is chocked full of information that normally focuses on one subject.” 5:31 “I think there are two really big things people really struggle with when they start. One is self-confidence, and the other is imposter syndrome.” 6:23 “There are probably some people that are out there living it. They believe in themselves 100%. But I think most of us never do. So, I do still struggle with it all the time; comparison is the thief of joy. And for me, it took me a long time to legitimately call myself an artist.” 7:50 JEANNE “And I think it does help when you say, “I’m a designer. I'm a landscaper. I'm an artist. I'm a (whatever your thing is)” and to actually own it and believe it.” 9:19 JEANNE “And the thing is, if you are the most incredible artist, but you don't share it, you're not going to grow and you're not going to be able to make anything of it.” 14:44 “When I was leaving my store, I read a great book called Necessary Endings and it really helped me navigate that sometimes we do need to end things for the betterment of our own peace, our own health, and our own life.” 19:46 “I wanted [being a paramedic] to be my lifelong career. And walking that out, it became the hardest, ugliest, most growth-filled, and beautiful experience ever. And I walked away from that with no regrets having done it at all, even though I cannot even get to talk about the things I experienced going through it. And some beautiful, wonderful things too.” 30:43 “We've probably eaten at our dining table less than I've painted at it at this point. Because it's always been like my go-to work surface even sometimes today I'll pull stuff out there. But yeah, that's where I started from it just kind of went from there.”  Since 2007, Jennifer Rizzo has grown her online brand jenniferrizzo.com as a licensed artist, lifestyle content creator, author and designer.  As a content creator, she has been featured in and has produced projects for over 20+ publications such as Country Living magazine, Romantic Homes, Oprah.com, This Old house, and WGN channel 9 midday news.  Jennifer teaches creative classes, on-line and in person art workshops and creative video e-courses, and speaks at public engagements. As a content creator, she's works with national brands in content creation and as an ambassador, including free-lance written and video content. As a licensed artist and product designer, she has over 15 years of retail and wholesale experience including a former co-owner in a brick and mortar boutique. With her long term experience in retail/wholesale and social media, she now also free-lance consults with small businesses on SEO, niche social media marketing, branded marketing, direct to consumer marketing, and how to leverage and grow their online presence to creatively reach their customer and build their brand.Jenniferrizzo.comThe Kitchen Table Creative ClubYour Creative Business and Getting Started E- Book HERE.HTTPS://Facebook.com/jenniferrizzodesigncompanyHTTPS://instagram.com/Jenniferrizzodesigncompany  Creatively Made Business with Jeanne OliverIs your business aligned with how you want your life to look and feel?

  • 068: Eat Pie Love with Tara Royer Steele

    068: Eat Pie Love with Tara Royer Steele
    Apr 4 2023
    Podcast 068 | Eat. Pie. Love. with Tara Royer Steele1:27 “God used pie in our life, and we knew nothing about pie. And through all of that, I have a pie shop and we have a bakery, which is our commissary kitchen. But it really has evolved into events and gatherings and retreats and feeding His people.” 7:39 “So “the gathering” is really (at the Pie Haven) just another tool to create a safe space for people to know Jesus well.” 13:48 “My mom taught me creativity. She taught me to just open up my door and let anybody in and feed them. And she taught me about spending lots of money on shoes. Don't do that one.” 16:34 JEANNE: “If you know someone that has lost their mom, be a person that checks in on them. Just to say, what are you doing? How are you doing? Because it is a huge void.” 28:37 “I'm pulling myself down, but God's like, listen, hey, I want you to jump out of that bucket and go bold and go scared.” 29:03 “Quit saying I'll pray about it. I'm not saying don't pray. Don't get me wrong. But if God's telling you go do something good, then go do it. Break those prayers down into, okay, could you explain for me what the next step is?” 31:38 JEANNE: “And I think when people are grieving, to say to them, “let me know if you need anything” is the worst thing that you could say, because they're not going to let you know.”Tara Royer Steele also known as The Pie Queen has been in the pie business for 36 years. When she was 12 years old her family moved to Round Top, TX & took over a little ole cafe in the heart of the square.
