21: Ladders, scaffolding and scissor lifts oh my!

This week I'm sharing all about the equipment (ladders, scaffolding, and lifts!) Plus a little snaffu I ran into on a scissor lift recently. Did I mentioned I'm scared of heights?

19: Answer your questions!

I'm answering your questions! Dive in with me as I share how I get customers, how introverts can win in biz, and window painting (is it worth it?). Takeaways This podcast has personally helped me grow. Approaching businesses can be done through email. Introverts can thrive in the art world. Starting with personal projects can lead to opportunities. Window painting is a low-cost entry point for artists. Networking in local communities is essential.
