Ep 024 // How to find a co-founder, test your relationship & go all in with Think Creative Collective (Courage)
Summary: <p>This week's Courage & Clarity conversations are double the fun as I'm joined by not one, but two brilliant business ladies: Emylee Williams & Abagail Pumphrey, the founds of <a target="_blank" href="http://thinkcreativecollective.com">Think Creative Collective.</a></p> <pre><code> <img class="thumb-image" data-image="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/586c0773ebbd1a367d451544/t/58fd31b61e5b6c4ffcc2ae68/1492988349305/" data-image-dimensions="750x751" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" data-load="false" data-image-id="58fd31b61e5b6c4ffcc2ae68" data-type="image" src="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/586c0773ebbd1a367d451544/t/58fd31b61e5b6c4ffcc2ae68/1492988349305/?format=1000w" /> </code></pre> <p> </p><p>Emylee & Abagail are the brains behind this strategy powerhouse which offers courses, a podcast and lots of clarity for frazzled entrepreneurs who want to get more sh*t <em>done. </em></p><p>But of course, there's more to this story than a couple of bosses who've got it all figured out. </p><p>Emylee dropped out of graduate school two weeks before her program began and originally thought she'd own a cupcake business. </p><p>Abagail climbed the corporate ladder in the web design world only to be laid off from work. </p><p>In this episode these two spill all the details of their individual paths to doing meaningful work on their own terms, including lots of bumps & bruises along the way. </p><p>My favorite part, though, is how they decided to come together. </p><p>After joining forces to run a webinar together, the two sat on the floor of Abagail's home office and realized their values & aspirations were so similar -- and, that they had a blast building cool stuff together. Think Creative Collective was born.</p><p>In addition to these inspiring stories, you'll hear: </p><ul> <li>How Emylee went from making next to nothing as a photographer for a year, to walking out of a client's house with a $1500 check </li> <li>How the two completely overhauled their business model -- which allowed them both to take January completely off, and both have only worked part time so far in 2017</li> <li>What to look for in a co-founder relationship, and how to test it out before going "all in" </li> </ul><p> </p> <p></p><p>SHOW NOTES: </p><ul> <li><a href="http://fizzle.co/courage">Fizzle - try it for 5 weeks, cancel any time</a></li> <li><a target="_blank" href="http://thinkcreativecollective.com">Think Creative Collective </a></li> <li><a target="_blank" href="http://instagram.com/thinkcreativecollective">TCC on Instagram </a></li> <li><a target="_blank" href="https://www.courageandclarity.com/podcast/ep-011-how-a-college-side-hustle-led-to-an-empire-of-50000-members">Courage & Clarity episodes with Natalie Franke </a></li> </ul>
