Show notes

We’re in Penn Valley, California this week on the podcast with fiber artist Cassidy Fisher of The Northern Craft. She’s sharing about how she turned her passion for art into a full-time profession, and about how she uses inspiration from the beautiful things around her to create her collections. Plus, she’s dishing about her incredible experience at Magnolia’s Silobration and the impact that’s had on her business.

Even though Cassidy’s journey as an artist is different than what she had expected as a kid, she chose to push through into something new - and the result is beautiful and amazing! She introduced her Truckee Collection shortly after our interview which is now live on her website, and her next collection is dropping the first week of April. So be sure to go check out her website and follow along on Instagram to see her work and keep up with what’s coming next.

41 | Designer Regan Doely of Doe A Deer Feb 28, 2019

Show notes

Designer Regan Doely of Doe A Deer in Stuart, Iowa (pop. 1,648) is talking about how she’s grown her business from a side hustle on Facebook into a full product line that’s now being sold by national retailers. She’s also sharing how her handmade-focused brand is inspired by her love for vintage and why she loves to work with small shops and businesses in rural America.

It’s so fun to hear how Regan’s business has literally grown overnight, and her motto is one that we can all put to good use - just ask! Because you never know what that could lead to. Regan launched her new spring towels last week and has another fun towel launch coming next week, so be sure to check that out on her website.

This week on the podcast we’re on the ranch in Datil, New Mexico (pop. 54) with cowboys and love stories photographer Lyndsey Garber. We talk about what it’s been like for Lyndsey to grow her rural business from a side hustle to a portfolio with national clientele.

Lyndsey has a unique perspective on rural business - that sometimes serving the people outside our community allows us the opportunity to stay in our community.

There are links to that in the show notes so be sure to go check it out! Huge thanks to Lyndsey for being on the podcast and for opening her home up to us as we were passing through!

Show notes

In today’s episode we’re sitting down with Mary Heffernan of Five Marys Farms. We met up at their M5 Burgerhouse in Fort Jones, California to talk about all things Five Marys. Like, how she first discovered her love for small business, why she loves the rural life, the power of Instagram, and so much more. Mary is an entrepreneur at heart and you’ll love hearing how she and her family have built Five Marys from the ground up.

Mary’s can-do approach to marketing and branding and tackling every part of their business is so impressive. And that’s why we love so much that she is sharing what she’s learned through her new Small Business Workshop. Enrollment for her eCourse actually starts next week! So be sure to go check out the Five Marys website for more information on that. And while you’re there, you can also check out the ways that you can experience Fort Jones and the ranch for yourself.
