I am so glad to share this conversation with Chris Herbert from MI6 Agency on his podcast, The Rural Entrepreneur. We sat down to talk creative entrepreneurship, innovation, and resilience. I’ve been enjoying listening to local voices on his show, and I can’t wait to see where he takes it as it quickly becomes a valuable resource for entrepreneurs, leaders, and community builders alike. I was so glad to be featured on the show and share perspectives on navigating life, business, and building a career as an interdisciplinary artist. I talk integrative voice coaching, collaborative community music, and what I have learned by researching my great-grandmother’s writing for my latest performance poetry creation project.
