When I’m on my morning walks I like to take that time to reflect on the days gone by and things that I’m working on in my business. This year that has happened while listening to the Paint Talks Podcast on my 4 mile walks. Hearing about the creatives mindsets, goals, hurdles they’ve over come, and what inspires them just gets my heart pumping and my mind spinning with my own ideas for my business. Dionne’s podcast setup just encourages me as an creative to continue going and growing.
