Hey, friends, Jamie Grace here. And today it's Small Business Saturday. So happy Saturday to all the small businesses out there. And also happy Small Business Saturday to everybody that decided to go out and buy from a small business either today, yesterday, or any day between today and forever yesterday. What am I saying? I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm just, I'm really

excited about small businesses. I love them. I support them. And also, I also am an entrepreneur. I have a

production company. And that's just something that I wanted to talk a little bit about today.

I don't really have a script or a plan for this episode, but I mean, what's new for this podcast?

You know, um,

so today on Instagram, I did a post talking about, um, what it's like a very brief kind of

insight as far as what our lives are like right now as small business owners. And so I think a lot

of times when people look at singer, songwriters, you don't really see us as, we're not really seen as entrepreneurs or small business owners. Because I think, especially because, you know, when you're a Christian and then when you're creating art, it's like, well, no, it's art and you're a Christian. So that's not a business. That's something that you love. That's something that you're passionate about, that's something that you're

creating. And like, yes, of course, all those things are very true, but at the same time, it is a

business. So I started a production company in high school. And that has been my full-time job

ever since I was about 17 years old, which was in between my freshman and sophomore year of college,

is when it became my full-time job.

But those two years before, or three or four years before that, however long it was,

it was a little bit more of like a very just like hopeful entrepreneurial ship.

The guy I said that well.

It wasn't my full-time job as a teenager,

but I was creating films.

I was doing commercials for other companies.

I was offering them rather.

I wasn't getting a ton of business.

I was, you know, producing music for my sister.

I was helping other people start their YouTube channels.
