S1E19: From Stress Heart Attack to Helping Others Make Money from their Passions with Kelly Phillips
The Fun with Friends Podcast
01/24/22 • 45 min
Kelly Phillips joins Allie in this week's episode to talk about her journey from having a stress-related heart attack in her 30s to being an entrepreneur and helping others make money doing what they love!
Meet My Guest!
After a long and somewhat varied career in both the corporate and entrepreneurial worlds, Kelly now offers her services in two main areas - e-learning/training development and eCommerce/online marketing implementation.
It may seem like an odd combination on the surface, but you'd be surprised how much the two have in common. Success in both fields often depends on how well you communicate an idea to your intended audience.
In addition to Kelly's consulting services and training, Kelly is also a paper bead maker and creative entrepreneur.

Anjali of Sovereign Treasures joins Allie in this week's episode to talk about incorporating henna into glass painting and the joys of connecting with others through art.
Meet My Guest!
Anjali hand-paints glass for dining and entertaining embellished with freehand patterns inspired by Indian henna designs. She is a self-taught artist that has always had a deep love of colors and textures, which shows in her work.
Anjali grew up in India, and following her marriage, she moved to London, where she took a course on henna application. Although the class didn't immediately lead to anything over time, Anjali started integrating henna patterns into her work and merging an Eastern concept with a Western medium, creating a product that transcends both cultures.

S1E37: The Creation of an Award-Winning Book with Raleigh Author David Alan
The Fun with Friends Podcast
06/20/22 • 51 min
Raleigh, NC humor and children's book award-winning author, David Alan, joins Allie on today's episode to discuss his writing journey, the creation of his T-rextra series, and what's coming up next for him.
Meet the Guest!
David Alan is an author of children’s and humor books. He writes children’s books that he wished had existed when he was growing up. He is a big fan of children having the most fun, well-adjusted childhoods possible, and adults keeping a childlike sense of humor and wonder. His humor books are hilarious and border on the absurd.
Several years ago, David's husband, Eric, jokingly named David" T-Rextra" because of his short arms and extra-ness. The name struck a good nerve, and the rest is history.
David lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, with his husband Eric and their three babies (dogs), Natalia, Peach, and Angela Basset Hound. He is also proud Papa David to toddleenager Maci, quite possibly the most perfect little person to ever walk the earth. He also enjoys arts and crafts, watching too much TV, trivia, and making up silly songs to sing to the babies.

S1E32: The Writing of a Trilogy with Wilson, NC Author Sarah Maragh
The Fun with Friends Podcast
05/30/22 • 40 min
Author Sarah Maragh joins Allie on today's episode to discuss what it was like publishing her first book and working on a trilogy.
Meet the Guest!
Sarah is an author and is currently working on the Sequel and Prequel to her debut novel "Tales of the Ouroborus: An Adult Fairytale" which is available on Amazon.
Sarah describes her book as a fairy tale within a fairy; here's a preview of her book,
"There once was a family who was as happy as they could be. A father, a mother, and two young boys, one older, one younger. The younger brother, with eyes almost like witch-hazel and hair as dark as the richest of bee’s honey. He was captivating and charismatic, and everyone, even their parents, favored him. The elder brother, though more beautiful, with eyes like the Jordan, olive features, and wavy hair as dark as the witching hour, was quieter. Because he was less forthcoming naturally, his family deemed him less trustworthy."
