Almost every artist I’ve interviewed on this show has had some variation of the same story: I didn’t think it was possible to make a living doing what I love. Although today’s guest grew up in a creative home, she always viewed art as a hobby – partly because of an offhand comment from a teacher who told her that being an artist wasn’t a career.

Today, Jena Holliday is a full-time illustrator, author, and entrepreneur. She’s the visionary behind Spoonful of Faith, a creative haven specializing in illustration, hand-lettering, mural art, innovative marketing, and joyful design. Jena’s work has been featured in Good Morning America, Huffington Post, People, and the isles of Target.

Her success is helping rewrite the old “starving artist” narrative and proof that following your passion and building a profitable business is possible.

Despite the online noise telling her that 7-figures is the goal to aim for, Rhiannon is taking things at her own pace. “Once I understood taxes, net profit, pricing…it was easy to decide that the operations it would require to make a 7-figure salary didn’t align with the kind of life I wanted to live.”

Rhiannon Bosse is a wedding florist and designer with nearly 15 years of experience in the luxury and destination event industry. Her work has been recognized by BRIDES, Martha Stewart Weddings, and Vogue Magazine.

In this episode, we talked about everything from niching down to financial goal setting, including why Rhiannon has chosen not to pursue a 7-figure business (chup, you heard that right!) and how she’s allowed herself to pursue what brings her joy in business—even if that means less revenue.

The story of Ramble and Co began in 2009, in Kathryn’s last semester of college, when her great-uncle offered her the chance to buy his screen printing business.

After working two jobs throughout college, Kathryn had maxed out her income and jumped at the opportunity to work for herself. From side-hustle to 7 figure business printing tshirts, a powerful reminder that saying yes to opportunities can lead to unexpected and beautiful outcomes.
