Exactly what I’m looking for

This is fantastic and so timely for me. Elizabeth really gives the brass tacks of running a successful craft based business while not shying away from the hard stuff.
I’m loving the clarity and transparency in her approach. I look forward to being an ongoing listener.

Three Cheers for Sarah Clark!!!

Dear Elizabeth, I am only 5 minutes into episode 148 with Sarah Clark and needed to pull over to submit a review… She was able to articulate her WHY for pursuing her creative career so artfully, and every word resonated. I too have been ‘creative-adjacent’ in my career, longing to find something that fulfills me the way quilting does and am excited about the bright possibilities ahead of me. THANK YOU, Sarah, for giving these thoughts form for me, and THANK YOU, Elizabeth, for using your platform to empower other creatives to reach these goals. Bravo!!! (Can’t wait to hear the rest of what Sarah has to say!! 😁)

Got me thinking in a new way

I love this podcast always but episode 145 with Gloria Chou really inspired me to think about PR in a new and exciting way. Elizabeth’s interview with her really helped me understand the difference between marketing and PR. Also how the possibility to get published is possible even for a small business like mine. Fantastic episode!
