    Figuring out your true passion takes time and my conversation with Leigh Acord (Watson) shows you how long that journey can take. After painting a mural of a tree for her sister's nursery in 2001, she slowly built a book of clients by doing what she loved on her free time while working in the corporate world. Leigh decided to follow her heart and launched Watson Murals (formerly Watson Design) in 2004. Since then, Leigh has thrived on taking a broad concept from a client and turning it into something that speaks directly to that person, whether it be a mural in the bedroom of a five-year-old boy or a larger than life showpiece in a venue where thousands of patrons will see it and be inspired. Watson Murals has been a smashing success and if you don't believe me.....take a look at her clients on her webpage (were talking Fortune 500). Be ready to be inspired and laugh hard in this episode. https://watsonmurals.com/ Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/hphs1995. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Leigh Harralson (Stein)

    A trip abroad to London during her junior year at the University of Texas helped Leigh make the move to New York City after graduation in 1999. In New York she picked up valuable sales experience at Getty Images, a company that was in the process of becoming a juggernaut of its industry. (Were talking about Facebook type of dominance in the Social Media space) In 1995 Mark Getty founded Getty Images by 2006 he sold it to Hellman & Friedman for $2.6 billion (today's value is 3 billion with an estimate annual revenue of 1 billion). Leigh moved back to Austin, Texas in the mid aughts and found another inspirational founder in the wine company Scout and Cellar. Our conversation shows that she loves to talk about the grape and the clean crafted process for wine making.

    Paper Bash! What is it? Well it is one of the more interesting startups in Dallas and a trending store on Etsy. It was inspired by Jessica Roan and her success with Interior Philosophy in Atlanta. We all know that when Elizabeth and Laura get together on a project, something great will happen and I have a feeling that Paper Bash will be around for a long time.
