Episode 81: Nancy Marks
from Pretty Powerful Podcast with Angela Gennari · host Angela Gennari
As someone who struggles to draw a stick figure, it seems far-fetched that I would leave my corporate comfort zone to dive head-first into a career as an artist... but that is exactly what Nancy Marks did. Nancy convinced herself that she had no artistic skills whatsoever, until she signed up for a fused glass class to spend quality time with her mother, and discovered a passion and talent while "embracing the imperfections" of art. She then merged her corporate and creative skills to start her own studio. Brilliant! Love this conversation and the lessons learned from it.
