We are very excited to be speaking with Rebecca's Artisan Business Coach, Lara Cornell this week. We first met Lara through another artist and Rebecca worked through her book Maker's Mark. Just shortly after that is when Rebecca met with her personally, and ended up signing up for her 10 week coaching program. I (Robert) get a chance to dig more into who Lara is as both an artist and a coach, and how she has come to offer the services she does, which combine the art of business with the creative mindset to help you become an #ArtisanCEO.
Lara Cornell is a business strategist and coach specializing in supporting artisans, artists and makers. She is the international best selling author of Maker's Mark: Make a Living and an Impact with your Artisan Business, and the creator of The Impactful Artisan Podcast. To that end, she founded the Artisan Business Academy and Artisan+Co focusing on educating and showcasing impact-driven and eco-conscious artisan businesses around the world. When she's not geeking out on branding & marketing, she lives an artist life with her family where she is often found painting, gilding, creating perfumes or traveling to France.
