Sarah’s Advice
One thing I've struggled with during my entrepreneurial journey is spending so much time learning. Whether it's through podcasts or courses or books. Of course, education is important, and you should learn. But if you spend all your time learning and never implementing what you learned. What's the point Really? So recently, I've adopted this for every hour I spend learning, I'll spend another hour implementing what I learned. That way I don't get stuck on that. I guess a rabbit hole basically, of education. Just reading and listenting to podcasts because if you never implement what you learn, it's kind of pointless.

We talk about the following
Key to Change
Attending a HBCU
Why is it important to expose young people to the arts
Why is it important for him to give back.
Quinton’s Bio
Dr. Quinton Morris enjoys a multifaceted career as concert violinist, educator, entrepreneur and filmmaker. He is the founder of Key to Change, a nonprofit with the mission of inspiring underserved youth and students of color through world-class music instruction and supporting their development as self-aware leaders. Key to Change operates two violin and viola studios in South King County, Washington which serve middle and high school students who may not otherwise have access to classical music instruction.
Key to Change was born out of Dr. Morris’s BREAKTHROUGH World Tour, which paired recitals and concerto performances with lectures, master classes and educational outreach in over 25 cities across five continents. The tour also featured Dr. Morris’s short film The BREAKTHROUGH, which premiered at the Seattle Art Museum and the Louvre Museum in Paris, among other distinguished venues worldwide. He directed and starred in the film, which tells a modernized story of the Chevalier de Saint-Georges: a violinist of African origin who, against all odds, rose to become one of the most prolific and forgotten figures of the 18th century.
Dr. Morris received top prizes at the European Independent Film Awards and New York Film Awards; and was recognized as one of Musical America’s Top 30 Movers & Shapers and the Puget Sound Business Journal’s 40 Under 40. He is also the recipient of the Governor's Arts Award and the Seattle Mayor's Arts Award. Additional career highlights include concerto appearances with the Seattle Symphony, three consecutive years of sold-out recitals at Carnegie Hall, eleven years as Artistic Director of The Young Eight String Octet and a TEDxSeattle talk on “The Age of the Artist Entrepreneur.”
He has also presented master classes, clinics and workshops around the world at the University of Paris - Dauphine School of Business, American String Teachers Association National Conference (USA), Monash University (Australia), Dong-eui University (Korea), National Taiwan Normal University (Taiwan), Tumaini University Makumira (Tanzania), among many others.
Dr. Morris is a Renton native and began his studies at Xavier University of Louisiana, where he studied pre-law and music. He earned his Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the University of Texas at Austin. He also holds a Bachelor of Music degree from The North Carolina School of the Arts and Master of Music degree from the Boston Conservatory. He joined the Seattle University faculty in 2007 and is the Director of Chamber and Instrumental Music and an Associate Professor of Violin and Chamber Music.
He is the first tenured music professor at Seattle University in over 35 years and the second living African-American violinist in United States history to receive such a distinction. He is currently pursuing a professional certificate in business through an online program at Harvard Business School.

Quinton’s Advice
I would just say to your listeners and followers that we're in a great moment in our country and in the world, to create something that could be a value to lots of different people. I would say that I would encourage people not to give up, keep going and to persevere through these hard times. They are definitely challenging and, and tough. But this is something that we all can overcome and we can all be better for it.

Embr Creative
Being a Military Spouse
Having a personal brand
Her passion for all things design
Mary’s Bio
Mary has served as an active-duty military spouse for the last ten years, and currently serves as a reserve spouse. During this time, she has learned a great deal about taking a challenge and turning it into a benefit. With each deployment, TDY, and training, she used the extra time to learn more, work harder, and expand her skillset. With over 11 years in design and strategy.
Mary Rauzi has a proven track record of helping brands grow. After launching Embr Creative at the beginning of 2018, she is now looking to grow and expand Embr’s reach. It is her mission to bolster other creatives around her to dream bigger and work more on the projects they love.
Embr is a Seattle-based collective of designers, developers, videographers, musicians, and creatives. We thrive on brand challenges and working as your partner to build upon and achieve your goals through design.
Embr Creative listens to the business objectives of a company, discovers audience motivations, and grows the visualization of a brand to give it a leg up. With a professional look that is strategy-driven, your company gets a foothold with its viewers turning them from acquaintances to evangelists.

Mary’s Advice
For business owners, I would say really understand your values and what you're trying to communicate, before you go to a designer, and work hard to figure those things out. What's right for your company, the more you know about what you're trying to communicate, the better a designer is going to be at their job.
If you already have that leg up, the more the better. Think about brand as you're developing your processes. What is your customer service and how does that pan out? How does that tie to your values and your brand overall? Is it all communicating together because it'll make that authenticy if you're very consistent in your communications both visually and your team members so culturally, culturally in your company.
For young designers, my advice for them is to try to get internships and opportunities to do design before you're out of school. If you're self-taught, use as many opportunities as you can to do more projects and to get more experience, even if you become one of the designers on 99 designs or Fiverr.
That's what those are great for students that are trying to build up a body of work or get more experience working with clients. They can get on those. The more experience you have, the better because then your portfolio gets better. The way that you interact with clients are better and it's going to serve you well, in the long run.
For military spouses, use all the time that you can when your spouse is gone, all of those extra lulls that you have to build that community around you. I would have never survived without my community, and especially if you can't afford to pay somebody else.
There will be families that we have very close relationships with. Having that community of people you trust without relying on family because we don't have any family nearby. Use that and then use that time to really focus on yourself and build your dreams and what you want out of your life and career.
