“You develop a relationship with people when you sit across the table and from them and you're holding their hand, that is a direct exchange of energy...we get paid to be an architect and a therapist, both.”

This week’s episode is a business spotlight on an incredible artist and business woman. Phoenix VanDyke has won international awards for her nail artwork and now she is using her skills to teach other aspiring nail techs how to follow in her footsteps.
I think it’s important to share this journey for a few reasons. One, it gives Phoenix her due credit for overcoming the odds and accomplishing all she has. Second, I think it’s important to point out some stories of people who followed their creative passions and ended up making money and living successfully. There is often this stigma around creative work that it does not equate to being successful. If stories like Phoenix’s show us anything, it’s that this is definitely not the case all the time. If Pheonix can live her dream, why can’t you?
