Open & Awkward: Shop Talk with Katie & Amanda
Episode 11- COMMITTED
What you say to yourself matters.
What’s this podcast about?
What would your May self tell your July self? (Especially in the green industry.) This was recorded during crunch time and is airing after the main rush of the season. Katie and Amanda discuss what it’s like to put a body of work into the world – the costs, the benefits, the vulnerability, the growth. For our listeners, your shops and your businesses are a body of work. What does it mean to watch people respond to that?
The other thing we discuss is how your self-talk affects everything. Also, how Katie is committed to having better handwriting.
Highlights:
- How the podcast changed Katie and Amanda
- Editing and paying for podcast (no sponsors at this time)
- Putting a body of work “out there”
- Katie’s commitments to herself
- What May’s Amanda would tell herself in late June/early July (after Mother’s Day craziness has passed)
- Hard business decisions, where to spend money, making payments, and what to charge for things
