Originality and creative entrepreneurship with Gretchen Jones

Our guest is business advisor, strategic consultant, and style icon Gretchen Jones. Heather and Gretchen go deep on values-driven entrepreneurship, what it means to be truly creative in today's culturally flat landscape, how to break out of the stagnation of late-stage capitalism, and why we should all be embracing "sloppy boobs”. Real wisdom and genuinely thought-provoking ideas from one of the most original thinkers we know!

Community + Colour Analysis with Heather and Amy

Cookbooks, creativity and what to make for dinner with Christine Flynn

Our guest is chef, recipe developer, bestselling cookbook author and maker Christine Flynn. Hailing from the East Coast of Canada, Christine and Heather had a rollicking conversation that covers big life and career pivots, what it actually takes to write a cookbook (spoiler: it's more expensive than you can imagine), and how to look at a fridge full of sad ingredients and figure out dinner anyway.⁠ ⁠ This is exactly the kind of conversation we hoped to have when we launched AHBL — wide-ranging, honest, and a little bit all over the creative map in the best way. Follow @christineanneflynn for more — her farm life content and what she's cooking are endlessly inspiring.

Tune in to find out what the heck this all means... Find us at www.closetcorepatterns.com
