    35. Should You Start a Business with a Friend? with Amy Parmer

    Amy is first and foremost a daughter of God and a devout Catholic. She is married to her college sweetheart, Matt. They met on the very first day and first class of their freshman year at Purdue. They have been married 23 years and have been blessed with eight children ages 20, and a sophomore at Western Kentucky University, down to 8-year-old twins.  Amy has a background in veterinary medicine, which she formally "retired" from after the birth of their third child. She then stayed home to raise and homeschool her children.  Eight years ago they purchased their dream property that would allow them to build a small homestead and fulfill their dream of being able to raise and produce a lot of their food. Their journey included building a performance herd of Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats that provide the most delicious milk. As the size of the herd grew, so did the volume of milk, which provided the path to Amy’s current adventure and small business. Amy’s best friend, Jessica, and she have been formally making and selling goat milk soap and other body and household products for approximately four years.  They have learned much together about starting and running a business and making it successful all while *attempting* to balance their very busy family schedules. Episode highlights: 📉 Amy’s accidental venture into business in 2020 👩🏻‍💻 Challenges of taking an in-person business online 👨‍👩‍👧 Balancing family life, business, and homesteading 🍃 Recognizing the season of life you’re in right now 👯‍♀️ How Amy and Jessica manage being business partners and best friends 👧🏻 Getting your children involved in business Click for a full transcript of the show here!

    29. Showit Website Template Customization: DIY vs Hiring

    The allure of the DIY website approach is strong—cost savings, creative control, and the satisfaction of crafting your online space all on your own. That’s tempting stuff.

Tell me, does this sound like you? You lack the time or willpower to complete the customization to your high standards You lack the skills or knowledge or time to obtain the knowledge and want to avoid the prolonged learning curve You’re overwhelmed by attempting to learn a new platform You’re frustrated by the slow progress of your DIY attempts Friend, if any of those describe you, then this episode is for you. Listen, learn, commiserate, take notes. It’s gonna be a good one. Let’s dive right in.
