by Carli Anna
I'm Carli Anna, a brand designer & educator. I created this podcast because I'm honestly a little over the "how-to" podcasts for small biz owners because everybody's businesses are so different from each other. Instead, we're going to be sharing stories, relating with you on hard experiences (we've all been there), and just HAVING FUN! The perfect podcast for those who both love & hate running their creative business. email us [email protected] if you want to share a story or have a question!
