This episode goes out to all my creative babes out there, because today Iโm joined by one of my favorite visual artists and print goods purveyors, Kristen Drozdowski of Worthwhile Paper.
In this heartfelt conversation, Kristen shares how she started her business, her highest and lowest points as an artist and boss, and why sheโs decided to leave Instagram after amassing over 50,000 followers there in the past decade.
We also discuss what it means to step off the online business growth escalator and grow horizontally rather than scaling vertically. Tune in to stoke the flames of your creative liberation and believe in your business again.
