We asked experts from a broad range of industries to open up to us about things they know about their industry but that we probably don’t and we’ve shared some of those responses below.

Taylor Pierce | Yoga Instructor

Honestly, I would say that yoga truly is accessible to anyone and everyone. There’s an unfortunate misconception that yoga is for people that can bend their bodies like pretzels, or have hulk like strength to hold a handstand for an impressive amount of minutes. That surely exists, but the point of yoga is that every class you attend is your own personal practice. The point isn’t to impress other people in the room, but rather stay tuned into yourself, your body, and your breath. Read more>>

Thomas Livingstone | Photographer & Gallery Owner

Although the sales end of the fine art photography business is very socially engaging, the creative side can be quite lonely at times. It’s difficult to get friends or family to commit to getting up early, staying out late, and not running from the weather when things take a turn for the worse.

Nick Puma | Tattoo artist

The final decision of placement and design is really or should really be up to the artist. We know what is going to hold up over time and look the best for you. Read more>>

Jena Tack | Home Stager & Designer

I think there are several things people are not aware of in this industry, such as Home Staging isn’t just bringing in furniture to stage! Most listings are not vacant, homeowners live there while they list their home. Buyer’s buy on an emotional level so it’s key to have a professional home stager with a new set of eyes in for a consultation to help them get ready. Many homeowners have lived there for several years (with attachment) and it’s an emotional/stressful process. We lessen the stress and get the homeowners (and agents) top dollar with suggested decluttering, furniture arrangement, lighting, wall color, accessorizing, depersonalizing and first impressions. We play up the positives features an create as many “wows”! Read more>>
