Stepping Up. Standing Out. Pivoting. Blazing a Trail w/ Receptor Brands Startup Partner Allison Disney

Send us Fan MailPodcast Conversation Journey...Would you do a house swap with another family? .. Not sure why that matters 🤷🏽‍♀️Decision to go back to school as an adult... make sense to you 🤔Creative Agencies sound like a cool place to start a career.. opened many doorways👩🏽‍🎨Work/Life pivots are R-E-A-L... builds character ☺️... yes, no... maybe so.....🤔Shout out to parents who build us up to believe in ourselves AND keep it real too. Fun Fact: the 80's was a big season for international adoptions, in particular children from Korea. Allison speaks about 'being different' growing up in Western Michigan.. and some of the observations that support her confidence and strength in life well into adulthood....Life is based on a series of decisions by other people in the beginning and then by us as we grow upIs Advertising the "dark side" ???? What does that even mean... we spill the tea ☕️ about what goes on in the agency world... 😁... seriously, we learn more about these 'idea factories' and who make them up...A quote to take to the bank... "we are all alike more than we are different"... let's all believe this - OK🙏🏾Pivots can take us around the world... LITERALLY... cool thing is that if you find that you end up in a place that you don't feel 'fits', you can CHANGE YOUR MIND... ... did you make a change searching for something that was always there... 💁🏽‍♀️For my single ladies, how do you know you found "the right one"... ask yourself this... "is there a symbiotic nature to how you both move and support one another?"... does it feel like a TEAM 🏀..... teamwork...... Entrepreneuring (a new word that I am making up) at night, alongside your full time gig and family management role..... CAN BE A LOT... just keeping it REAL😆So, JUST JUMP IN ... 🙂 how did Allison do this ? how did she feel? How much do you know about the cannabis industry? What does this mean for the construct of society as we know it? Do we have pre-prohibition lessons learned from other opening industries before they were opened? We talk about stigma, we talk about regulations, we talk about health & safety, we talk about economics, we talk about it.......Full disclosure, I didn't know a lot. In fact, I wasn't (maybe still not) completely sure how I feel, and given the complexity of implications. That said, I am committed to staying open to new conversations AND open to other points of view AND to creating safe spaces...
