In today’s story I am bringing back Roxy Navarro, who I talked to in the previous episode, Episode 13, where we talked about her business called Works of Heart.  In this episode, she’ll tell us about how she found like-minded people, rallied them around the idea, and how they were able to build their company and make it even stronger together.    Notes from Roxy: How she rallied her friends to start her passion project (turned business!):  “I made a slide deck and a logo… something tangible to present to people.” Create something tangible to communicate your idea – this will help you and others take your ideas more seriously. She sent emails to friends so she can pitch the idea to them. Brainstormed with the team They bought a domain name. By investing a bit of money, it gave them more accountability, and gave them a deadline for launching a site. Roxy: “You have to make small investments that are tangible, because it shows people – and yourself – how committed you are.” They launched the site and asked people to share it. From there, people started contacting them, asking about services and rates. They prepared the pitch for these initial potential clients.

Mini: Building A Team Around Your Passion Project (with Roxy Navarro)

 My guest for today is Roxy Navarro, she is the founder of Works of Heart, a design studio that serves mission-based groups by providing effective branding and visual story telling to help these groups solve the issues of lack of awareness and access to market.  In this conversation, we do a deep dive into why and how she started her company while she was still in college, and then how she continued to run it as the CEO while juggling a full-time day job in a big corporation for a full three and a half years. We also talk about her insights on what it takes to pursue meaningful work, and the kind of questions you need to ask yourself. And we also walk that awkward intersection between purpose and profit, and the constant journey of figuring out how mix both without compromising one or the other. THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF… You’re somebody who has a day job right now, and are struggling with juggling it with a side-hustle, or are planning to do this — this episode will definitely inspire you.
