1106: Best Of Show: Chris Loves Julia: Quality Content Creation is Key to Their Success

Today With Julia Marcum: You are in for a treat with this re-air of one of my favorite conversations—with the fabulous Julia Marcum, one half of the powerhouse DIY duo behind Chris Loves Julia. Julia has been blogging for over a decade, and together with her husband Chris, they've built a wildly successful brand grounded in authenticity, creativity, and their unwavering "why." In this episode, Julia shares how they transitioned from a personal blog to a full-time business that inspires millions. We talk about what it means to know who you're serving and why that clarity drives everything—from content creation to partnerships to staying motivated through tough seasons. Heads up: If you love this episode, go listen to Ep. 1048 with Melanie Lybrand, where we dig into the mindset shifts around pricing and worth. It’s another heart-opening convo that pairs beautifully with this one.
