Focus Your Fire: An Interview with Jade Gillon, Founder of Volta Joules Secret Sauce

Hello Creative Friends,
 


I'm thrilled for you all to meet Jade. She has a lot of wisdom to share, and I love listening to her, because when she drops knowledge you know that she earned it through living courageously. 
 
In this episode we talk about the origins of her jewelry making at Volta Joules, racism, social justice, metal music, being yourself and so much more. Jade's Secret Sauce is her ability to be truly unapologetic in her expression... artistically and in her life. Just being around Jade is like getting a huge permission slip from the universe to be as wild and as spacious as I can possible be. We all need that energy in our lives, and for that reason (and so many more) you will be so glad you checked out our conversation. If you want to follow Jade on social media, or purchase some of her work to adorn your beautiful bodies, you can find her at the links below:
