Is it possible to create a career you love, but do it on your own terms? And not follow the conventional path of growing and scaling a business? But instead stay in that sweet spot of doing the work that you love, and getting paid for your time and the value you create. Join me for a conversation with Tara Mangini, one half of the design duo behind Jersey Ice Cream Co. Together, she and her partner Percy Bright spend their time moving house to house, job to job, leaving timeless, beautifully crafted homes in their wake. Listen in to discover Tara and Percy’s story, beginning with their shared love of flea markets, and most recently landing them their own show on Magnolia Network, The Story of Home. In all their work, Tara &amp; Percy believe in craftsmanship, timelessness, and leaving things better than they found them.

Tara Mangini on Staying True to Your Design Journey

Tara Mangini is one half of the supremely talented and sought out home design duo known as Jersey Ice Cream Co.  For years, she and her partner, Percy Bright would move into old homes and hotels for months at a time, remaking and remodeling them in their signature style.  They have been featured in the NY Times, GQ, Architectural Digest, Elle, and countless design blogs such as Remodelista, Apartment Therapy, and Design Sponge.  I have been fortunate to know Tara since our days at the University of Delaware, where we were close friends because of our time together in our a cappella group, The Deltones.  In this episode, Tara shares about how she never really saw "success" coming, and how she still battles limiting beliefs even after what most would consider a pretty damn successful early career.I also challenge Tara in her story about how her life has unfolded thus far, asking her to look beyond giving external events all the credit, seeing if she can take responsibility and claim the truth about herself for how well her professional creative career has turned out so far.  And we talk about miracles and fishing and freedom too.  See more of Tara (and Percy)'s work at www.jerseyicecreamco.com More from This Naked Voice at www.thisnakedvoice.comSupport the show (https://paypal.me/JoeyCardella?locale.x=en_US)

007 - Tara Mangini (Jersey Ice Cream Co)

As creative entrepreneurs, we dream of the trifecta—time freedom, financial freedom, and creative freedom. What no one tells us, though, is that scaling up the business actually limits those freedoms and pulls us farther away from the joy we felt in the beginning, back when we were just getting started and had nothing to lose. So how do we make bank—without making ourselves miserable? Tara Mangini and Percy Bright founded Jersey Ice Cream Co in the summer of 2010. What began as a vehicle for selling vintage furniture has evolved into an enviable design business. Tara and Percy move into the homes they are designing, drawing inspiration from the space itself to create interiors that are beautiful, distinct, and timeless. Their work has been featured in Design*Sponge, the New York Times, and Architectural Digest, among many other online and print publications. Tara and Percy join me to explain how their business unfolded organically, benefitting from online press without a marketing budget of any kind. They share their goals around creative freedom, discussing their desire to ‘feel like we felt at the beginning, but be less broke.’  I ask Tara and Percy about the pros and cons of working with your other half, and they communicate the way that overcommunication keeps them on the same page. Listen in for Tara &amp; Percy’s insight on the idea of ‘arriving’ as a big old myth and learn why they are scaling down their business to pursue unadulterated creative freedom. What You Will Learn How Jersey Ice Cream’s business model unfolded organically The creative freedom that stems from having nothing to lose Tara &amp; Percy’s realization that scaling up was not their path Tara &amp; Percy’s revised definition of what success looks like How Jersey Ice Cream has benefitted from online press How Tara &amp; Percy are inspired by the houses themselves Why Tara &amp; Percy view their lack of formal training as an asset Tara &amp; Percy’s take on not getting credit for your creative work Tara &amp; Percy’s decision to radically shift their business model Why the idea of ‘arriving’ is a myth How overcommunication keeps Tara &amp; Percy on the same page Tara &amp; Percy’s concerted effort to develop work-life balance Connect with Tara &amp; Percy Jersey Ice Cream Co Jersey Ice Cream on Instagram Connect with Beth Beth’s Website Beth on Instagram Beth on Pinterest Beth on Twitter Local Milk Blog Local Milk on Facebook Email hello@localmilkblog.com Resources Mentioned Jersey Ice Cream in Design*Sponge Jersey Ice Cream in Architectural Digest Tonic Site Shop Showit
