Why Staying True to Yourself Is Your Edge with artist Kate McRostie

At the young age of 8 months, Kate McRostie was already spending time propped up in a hand painted high chair coloring for hours at a time. In addition to the natural talent she possesses, Kate took formal drawing lessons throughout grade and high school and attended The Atlanta College of Art where she attained a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Kate successfully started and ran decorative painting businesses in Wilmington, North Carolina, San Diego, California, and Denver, Colorado as she moved with her military husband. Kate works out of a studio near her home in Wilmington, NC and continues to draw inspiration from life, nature and the people around her. She currently sells her one-of-a-kind coastal artwork in Crabby Chic located in Wilmington, NC. You can find Kate at: https://www.instagram.com/katemcrostie

Why the real competition in business is against yourself with WilmyWoodie Wood Fired Pizza

Wilmywoodie's goal from the beginning was to create a business that was different. They wanted to really stand out. So, they created the WilmyWoodie. A Wood Fired Pizza Truck like none other. It's 20 feet of kitchen on wheels capped off with a 100% wood fired oven mounted off the back of the truck, flown in all the way from California. In the same respect as the truck design, they wanted their pizza to stand out as well. So they offer their own style of wood fired pizza where the crust is softer rather than crunchy. And let me just tell you, it's amazing. They've been in business since 2018 and have managed to make it through the pandemic and a whole lot of competition popping up in the food truck world. I'm so glad to be able to call them friends and I hope you enjoy my conversation today with Kevin on all things business, competition and what it takes to make a successful business.

Why It's a Good Thing to Stand Out

We're all afraid of standing out. Since we were young, all we wanted was to fit in. To buy the right clothes and wear the right shoes and say the right things. That might have served us at one point in our lives but it's no way to live. God made you with special, unique qualities and it's time you embrace them and love the idea of being different. Because no two people are ever going to be the same! Not only will this help you in life but also in business. There are a million florists, or photographers, or podcasters. What makes you special? What makes your store so unique? You want to be memorable. And once you can begin to love the qualities that make you special, I know others will embrace them and love them right back.
