I have a feeling this will end up being the first in a loooooong line of “secrets revealed” podcast episodes.

I was lucky enough to find myself at one of Reagan’s events back in January of 2019, as a speaker on a panel about selling yourself as a “solopreneur.” First and foremost I was so impressed with how well organized the event was!

Alternate title: chasing kids & chasing dreams. It’s been so great to get to know Brittany in little pieces over the years. We’d see each other here and there at industry nights and Christmas parties, always with a glass of wine in our hands and a story or two to share. Between us, we’ve got […]

In episode 12 I introduced a new recurring series for the podcast, which was called 30 Days of Ryan Kelly. Shortly after, I realized this could be shortened to 30DORK, and I liked it even more. Recapping: 30 Days of Meditation Ryan’s first task was to complete 30 days of a meditation practise, in whatever […]

Sharing this story has been on my big picture to-do list for years. I am so thankful for the scribbles and notes I saved from all those years ago, which helped to connect the events and the way that they unfolded.
