They go in depth on the challenges, blood, sweat, tears and shitty food of renovating your own space on a budget. She also talks about how when you are aligned with what you are doing you will attract your community.You won’t want to miss the raw and slight humorous story about the final straw that made her think about quitting on opening Nest Art Collective. Her advice on how to decide whether to keep pushing or quit on an idea is great not only for business but also for your life. We also talk about the affects of COVID on our culture and how personally she came out of it with the ability to say no and guard her yes.You can find Lora on IG @honestbird or @nest.art.co and you can check out Nest Art Collective, book an appt check out upcoming events, and find art from the featured artists in the space at https://www.nestcollective.art/Know a CEO, founder, or entrepreneur who should be on the show?

Nest Art Collective with Lora Bird

Honestbird Tattoo

We've talked about tattoos from time to time over the last 430+ episodes. In fact, the topic of tattoos can be found as early as episode 16 as part of that week's "The Big Question". For those trying to do the math, that was back in July of 2012 and as you probably could have guessed; Brett Kelley was the guest that week. Because of course he was. But this week is different. This week, for the first time ever (we're pretty sure), we had the chance to talk with not just a fan of tattoos but an actual tattoo artist. That artist is Lora Bird. Lora, aka , is the owner of the new studio "The Nest Art Collective" out in Colorado and they're set to have their grand opening today, July 31st!  With a focus on trauma informed, inclusive tattooing, Lora and her team have created a safe and clean space for bodies of all shapes and sizes to get their dream piece.  If you're looking for more info, be sure to check out their  for updates, finished pieces, and bios on all the different artists and creators working at the studio. With a lot of our audience being in the New England area, we know a shop out in Colorado is a bit of a hike but when you hear Lora talk about the studio with such passion and excitement, you'll understand why we're so pumped for you to check this episode out. Plus you can hear me absolutely butcher the word "esthetician". It's pretty bad. I added like 4 extra syllables. Enjoy! -Jr.
