Dare to Develop
I am so excited to spill the beans that my dear friend Ashley of Ashley Baumgartner Photography and I started the podcast Dare to Develop.
Dare to Develop is a podcast started by both Ashley and I (we like to dub ourselves “work wives”)to empower small business creatives to focus on DEVELOPING community and take DARING leaps in their businesses. The Dare to Develop podcast will feature creative professionals who excel at their craft, have dared to redirect or change things up, and have focused on developing themselves, their community, and their industry into something new.
Who is this podcast for?
Anyone with a creative bone in their body! Which, according to Elizabeth Gilbert, is EVERYONE. Everyone has a creative bone in their body. So we want to invite you on a journey.
We can’t wait to share with you some amazing guests we will be having on our show like Daniel Kim, Julie Paisley and so many more. You’ll also get some tips and tricks from both Ashley and I and how we have gotten to where we are in our businesses today.
Developing Community and Taking Daring Leaps
So why did we decide to start this podcast together? Ashley and I recognized how lonely it can get being a small business owner in the creative world. We work alone majority of the time and can really be an isolating existence. We have been able to become friends and realized how helpful it is for us to in so many ways to have a so called work wife or biz bestie. We want to help empower other business owners and highlight the major accomplishments that other creatives have accomplished. Together we will be your hosts and can’t wait for you to tune in!

The road to success for any entrepreneur is hardly ever a straight line and few people know that better than our guest today, Shaun Austin Gordon of KISS Books. You’ll hear Shaun talk about the different business ventures he took on while searching for his “I’m meant to do this moment”.
