Artist Life - My Podcast Interview with EM/POWEREDbyWMN

Listen to on: Apple | Spotify | YouTube   

This year I took time away in the studio from creating to speak with Krystal Jugarap the founder of EM/POWEREDbyWMN about my business, MONOLISA. I discussed the unique aspects of my business journey and preference for pop-up storefronts. I talk about the key insights on succeeding with face-to-face sales and overcoming the challenges of a crowded online market. 

Thank you Krystal for giving me the opportunity to share my business journey on your EM/POWEREDbyWMN podcast - episode #54 on Apple | Spotify | YouTube . I really enjoyed our conversation and I hope all of the listeners do as well.
