Welcome to Unstrictly Business, a podcast where we interview business owners about everything that helps them succeed, from business advice to self-care and everything in between. I'm your host, Calli! I'm the Founder of 'Do Well Dept,' an inclusive online community that helps passionate work-from-home entrepreneurs & remote businesses achieve overall wellbeing for themselves, their employees, and their business. 

 

In today's episode, we get to know Emma Ortiz, a painter and the founder of Emma Ortiz Art. Like a lot of our listeners, Emma is actually a newer business owner. Despite this, she has had some incredible success in her first year of business including having a constant flow of commissions and sales, having her paintings stocked in a well-known store in Brooklyn, and gaining an engaged following on Instagram. We talk all about Emma’s creative process, what has worked for her as a business owner, and how she balances her daily life as she runs a business and gets her master’s degree in fine art. Finally, we dive into why you are your most important asset as a business owner and why you should always go after what you want.
