Hi Amélie! What are you most excited about with regards to your project?
I’m excited about bringing together and inspiring fellow creatives!
What was the hardest part of launching for you?
Overcoming the fear of failure. But eventually, I realized that what’s even scarier is knowing that I didn’t even take a chance to at least try.
What’s your biggest takeaway from the 1K program?
How to scope things down! :)
At time of writing, there are still tickets to the first Bold Creative salon available on Kickstarter!
