How can I tell story?

How can I continue to offer a platform and be a storyteller in this emerging world?

And that happened through Little Big Media.

So I started Little Big, and it's named after my little and my big, my sons.

That's what it's named after.

And I started it in...

An era, right?

The day after I accepted an award from the Wisconsin, I think, my goodness, I'm going to mess this up, but the Wisconsin Newspaper Association, I won an award for some investigative journalism that I did.

That next day, I started Little Big Media.

as a way to be a stay-at-home mom and also continue to tell people's stories through branding, through content, through marketing and social media.

And I did a lot of different things.

I've done so many.

I'm trying not to like laugh in my microphone too much because I breathe too heavy because I'm learning how to use this microphone.

But

I got to do so many.

I mean, I wrote I wrote pieces for like three dollars from Upwork.

Like I did a lot of random work that I learned something from every single thing I learned something from.

And that's I'm very grateful for for every little opportunity that I had along the way.

But that's kind of how it happened.

I evolved with time and I made that intentional choice that, you know, I had this very expensive degree, which I'll be paying off until after I'm dead.
