Written By

On today's show, I have Jessica Freeman who is a Graphic & Web Designer located in Atlanta, GA.

Jess and I met via Twitter or Instagram (we can't remember which!) and she was really one of my first online business buddies I made one I had started my business. I have so much to thank Jess for and I'm so happy to call her a friend.During the episode, we chat about how early Jess starts her day (it's EARLY), how she started Jess Creatives, what to do when people ask for refunds, scarcity mindset and how that negatively affects your business, how and why she uses YouTube to market her business, as well as have a lively debate on whether or not fountain drinks should have ice (you're going to have to tune in to the end of the episode to find out where we stand!).Excited for you to tune in and hope you enjoy!
