Rebranding, Resets & Raising Chickens: The Creative Chaos of Entrepreneurship with Merri Jill Finstrom

What happens when your entire business needs a rebrand, you’re pivoting careers, and you’re still figuring out what the hell you’re doing? Marley Majcher sits down with longtime friend and creative collaborator Merri Jill Finstrom to unpack the messy, hilarious, and unexpected journey of reinvention. From launching The Party Goddess! to sketching logos over lunch and obsessing over the perfect shade of pink, they dive into the real-life creative process behind branding and reinvention.

But it’s not all strategy and color swatches—Marley and MJ reminisce about early entrepreneurial struggles, raising toddlers while building businesses, and why some of their best creative breakthroughs happened over carrot cake and passion fruit iced tea. They also get real about why today’s social media-driven world has made creativity feel disposable, and how going old school—flipping through design books, touching glossy pages, and wandering without a destination—can reignite inspiration.

If you’re a business owner, an artist, or just someone trying to balance ambition with authenticity, this episode is packed with wisdom, laughs, and hard-earned lessons on pivoting, resilience, and the unexpected magic of saying yes to what lights you up.
