Wanna know this episode in one quote? Awesome! I’ve got you!
“Imagine that, one spring, you throw a few sunflower seed packets into a patch of dirt. Because nothing was planted – just thrown – only three sunflowers survive. Each sunflower is a different variety. So, that first year, there’s just three sunflowers. You freaking love these sunflowers and, without knowing much about sunflowers, decide to save ten seeds from each these three sunflowers. Of these sunflowers seeds, ten become mature, blooming sunflowers the next year. So, at the end of that year, you save ten more and you have the same survival rate.
You started with three sunflowers thrown into a patch of dirt. The next year, you have ten sunflowers. The third year? You have thirty. And that same year? You decide you want to add in a few new sunflower varieties and, by that summer, you have a booming flower patch of 50 sunflowers. They’re all different kinds of sunflowers – some short, some tall, some yellow, some orange – but they’re all sunflowers. And they all branched out because you had the idea to throw a few sunflower packets onto a patch of dirt.”

Literally forever obsessed with Printify. I use Printify for all of my print on demand printing and I’ll never stop singing their praises. They’re incredible! For design work, I’m totally in love with Canva and also love finding extra artwork + fonts on Creative Fabrica and Creative Market. For photography, I shoot with a Canon R6 and most of my mockup photographs are taken with the 35L or 50L. I do all of my editing in Adobe Lightroom and have since 2011! It’s my jam!
