180 The Power of Connection and Community with Floral Designer and Artist Alyssa Van Guilder

Two weeks after this conversation, the doors to Apotheca temporarily closed. Recorded pre-Covid-19, the mission Alyssa shares in this conversation is precisely the same mission and intention that is supporting her business today. Her quick thinking, ongoing strength, flexibility and innovation is not only keeping her business going, but creating opportunity for the future of Apotheca and the work Alyssa plans to do in Floral Design and Business Coaching. I know hearing her story through the lease of what we're experiencing at the time this podcast was published will invite you to recognize Alyssa's genuine, inspiring, heart-centered qualities that are the key to building a lasting business, even through extraordinary times.  Her mission and message is a powerful one that extends far beyond the beautiful floral creations that she's been sharing with the world for 15 years.   Join us for our Virtual Floral Design + Painting Workshop on Saturday May 2 https://www.creativethursdaycourses.com/alyssa-marisa-virtual-workshop You can find all things Alyssa and Apotheca Flowers at https://apothecaflowershoppe.com on instagram: @apothecaflowers   You can find all things Marisa and Creative Thursday creativethursday.com creativethursdaycourses.com and on instagram and facebook @creativethursday  

Om Podcasten

Marisa Anne Cummings, a Los Angeles based artist + author + entrepreneur, actually started the Creative Thursday podcast in 2006. What? what! how is that even possible? And yes! she wishes she had kept it going after all these years. Yet as a small business owner, maybe you can relate? choices needed to be made, and a passion for painting and continuing to build her art business became her focus. Cut to over a decade later, armed with SO many more lessons learned, and a - can no longer be suppressed - desire to share them with you! Marisa is ready to make a return to one of the first creative mediums she loved, podcasting! Even more fired up than before, Marisa is looking forward to picking up where she left off on her creative journey through both - one her favorite things to do - having thoughtful, inspiring, keeping it real, conversations with fellow Creatives + Business Owners along with offering her own perspective as an artist and entrepreneur, traversing this online world. We’re talking everything from life + business + creativity + entrepreneurship.
