🌴149. Screaming chickens

This one’s personal—and iconic.In today’s episode, I share the wild, weird, wonderful story of how my husband’s dream car—a 1979 Pontiac Trans Am—finally made its way into our lives. But it’s not just a story about the car. It’s about the look. More specifically, the Screaming Chicken decal that lives on the hood.It arrived today. And as we prepped to slap it on, I stumbled across the backstory—and WHOA. It’s not just a sticker. It’s a bold branding move that was laughed out of the room… until someone took it to the people.What happens when your best idea gets rejected?
