038: Katy Osborn - Connecting People to Create Partnership and Community

From a young age, Katy Osborn has had a keen interest in human behavior and creativity. For the last 13 years, Katy has merged these interests as a brand and marketing strategist, copywriter, and project manager. She started in corporate advertising before launching her own boutique creative agency, Amelia Street Studio, with her two sisters. Three years ago, Katy found true purpose for her two passions when she and her sisters started filming their own documentary Head to Head. It traces the path of hair as it goes from women in India, who sacrifice their hair for the gods, to the young women in America who receive it. The documentary-producer role has been the most fulfilling for Katy. She is able to dive deep into the human mindset and identity. Then every day has a new creative problem to solve and  partnership to build. Watching people connect their own personal experience with the women suffering hair loss is extremely rewarding.  You can follow Katy on her journey through Instagram at @headtoheaddoc and Facebook at @headtoheaddocumentary.  Listen as we talk about:   Her leap of purpose to follow as a filmmaker in India  The reason she decided not to finish her Master's program  How to keep a good relationship with family in business  Connecting the rift between self inauthenticity and cultural isolation  How she's using her privileges to bring awareness and help where it's needed  Insights from the journey of becoming a first-time documentary filmmaker  What may be next in her path to solve sustainability and consumerism issues The secret thing that she does involving collecting wreathes thrown on the side of the road Advice on how and why to connect with people      Sign up or hear more about our Path to Purpose course via [email protected]   Join our purpose seeking podcast community at...   Facebook   Instagram   YouTube Channel   Facebook Group - Purpose Seekers     Sign up for the Monthly Newsletter by emailing: [email protected]   Help More Find Their Purpose by Donating to the Podcast      Sign up or hear more about our Path to Purpose course via [email protected]   Join our purpose seeking podcast community at...   Facebook   Instagram   YouTube Channel   Facebook Group - Purpose Seekers     Sign up for the Monthly Newsletter by emailing: [email protected]   Help More Find Their Purpose by Donating to the Podcast
