Summary

This week on Raise your Hand Say Yes, I’m interviewing one of my creative heros, Leigh Standley of Curly Girl Design about all things creative business related. I've been a fan of Leigh's work for years (you get to hear me geeking out at the beginning of the episode) and was so excited to have her on the show. 

In this episode, we talk about one of Leigh's early experiences with the raise your hand, say yes philosophy. You'll also learn what she learned from her mom and how she's handled situations that haven't gone her way. Hint: she didn't give up hope or quit. You'll also learn her advice for someone wanting to get a start in the stationery biz.
