Carolyn Dismuke was living a great life but felt something was missing... Her view changed when she discovered vineyards in her backyard that weren't really on the map in the wine world. She decided to study in a world-renowned wine studies program learning about the classic wine regions, the grape growing process, and more. With her passion on fire she moved out of her home base with the goal of living in different California wine regions every month to soak it all in. 

We discuss the fear she overcame and the stigma of leaving a life that tradiitonally is seen as safe and "successful". What it means to follow your passion and other life lessons.

You can find her on social media @DrinkYourWords or on her website. 

Check out her book Drink Your Words  at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Walmart.

This episode is a follow up to #13 Joyce McAndrews - An Artist's Life. On this one, she shares the final pieces to the story of her completion of a three year long project named Project Co-Mingle. 

This project covers the entire process of building the world's first skyscraper built by a new process called "Speed Core". The tower was erected in downtown Seattle and Joyce's recount of the project is inspiring to put it lightly. It was a project that never should have been but Joyce was able to follow her intuition, overcome her fears and lead with love making this concept manifest to reality.
