#64: Painting for Customers with Jessica Wills Thornton

After years of hard work, one of her oil-based collections was displayed at a prestigious coffee shop in our hometown, and she has since gone on to produce numerous works of art for clients as far afield as Mallorca!

In our wide-ranging conversation, we discuss tips for getting started with creative projects; the importance of mindset to success; how her dog one day left a very surprising package; and so much more!

It’s also worth noting me and Jess recorded this episode LONG before the recent pandemic for my old podcast, and her enthusiasm and creativity provide a nice change of pace for Entrepreneurs Can Party today!
