After thirteen years as a working actor in New York City, Amber Petty walked away, went through a major depressive episode, and eventually built a business that's made $900,000 in five years, all by teaching creatives to lean into their weirdness instead of hiding it. She's the founder of the Weirdness Way and the Weird Sisterhood, and she's on a mission to prove that marketing doesn't have to feel gross, and it definitely doesn't have to mean blending in.In this episode, Amber shares which skill from her acting career turned out to be the most unexpectedly useful tool for building a business, what her battle with perfectionism actually taught her, and why she believes "weird" is the key ingredient to standing out in a market full of people trying to sound like everyone else. She also opens up about why she built her business around email marketing and community instead of chasing social media.WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT:The unexpected business skills Amber learned from thirteen years of actingHow perfectionism led to burnout, and what came afterWhy "weird" is a competitive advantage, not a liabilityBuilding a business without relying on social mediaAmber's Weirdness Way program and the Weird Sisterhood communityConnect with Amber Petty:Join the Creative Control Club: https://amber-petty.newzenler.com/f/creativecontrol/If today's episode gave you permission to be a little weirder in your own business, subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.
