On this week’s episode, we sit down with Karen Spears a designer, strategist, and a mind mapping extraordinaire. During this talk, Karen is here to teach us how to make the visions and goals we have for our lives a reality. Karen walks us through the early start of her career as a creative and the deep family entrepreneurial roots that continue to inform how she works today.
Amber and Karen break down the process of putting thoughts and big ideas to paper and how to mind map and strategize your way out of inaction. It’s time to take those big dreams and bring them to life! If you are someone who comes up with ALL the ideas, but sometimes struggles with where to start or how to work through them this episode is for you! And if you need ideas on the best kind of paper and pen to get your creative juices flowing, we’ve got you covered with a couple of our favorites!
