S2E6: An Interview with Firestarter Heather Boschke

Glitter, Grit, and Growth is thrilled to interview a marketer, professor, and bird lover: Heather Boschke. In 2021, Heather founded Vogel Venture, a small business marketing company and also began drawing birds as a creative outlet after the COVID lockdown. These adorable little birds are now featured in her children’s book series, Little Birdie Buddies. Heather’s mission is to “spread joy one bird at a time.”This podcast is for you if you believe that:● Embracing a growth mindset and being brave enough to suck at something new is a must.● Fear should be acknowledged but shouldn’t stop you from doing epic shit!● It should be a “No” unless it’s a “Hell Yes!”● There’s more than enough for everyone.● Your energy will tell you where to go next. Listen and trust the process.● People are so much more than titles and the boxes others put them in.Follow us on LinkedIn:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/shelley-sanchez/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/jill-johns-international/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Glitter, Grit, and Growth on Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.phpid=61561344174436&mibextid=LQQJ4d⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Glitter, Grit, and Growth on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/glitter.grit.growthigsh=NnFkb3I0NDNpZmls&utm_source=qr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit our website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.GlitterGritAndGrowth.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Special thanks to the amazing musician featured on our podcast, Brandi Harvey.
