Episode Description

Tune into today’s episode with Jennifer Allwood, founder of The Magic Brush, to learn about her journey to empower aspiring creative entrepreneurs. Growing up in rural Iowa, Jennifer was confined by a strict upbringing, stifling her creative spirit. But once she got her first taste of freedom, she fell in love with DIY decoration and design, eventually launching The Magic Brush, her very own painting business, which accumulated $89K+ within its first year. Now, Jennifer runs a blog and a podcast, has a published book, and speaks on stages across the country in order to teach other artists how to turn their creativity into a successful business.
