Key Thoughts:

  • Sometimes those yeses that seem a little bit off the beaten path can sometimes become the path later. Michele (10:38) 

  • Highlighting women entrepreneurs and helping them to be successful in telling their story through those editorial pieces, just kind of lit a fire in me. Catrina Maxwell (11:59) 

  • It's not just your interiors, you have a headshot, you have lifestyle, you have behind the scenes, you have personality that's going to go with all of this. And it tells your whole story. Catrina Maxwell (13:57) 

  • Sometimes, some things that we do, we almost take for granted that either everybody knows we do it, or that it maybe doesn't hold the level of importance. Michele (45:11) 

  • I think it's amazing how God doesn't waste anything. Michele (1:01:02)
