Life in Stitches

Anna McCraney and Cator Sparks

Interviews with people who took an unexpected path to self-employment and self-actualization, and realized that the secret to success is in making it up as you go along. We tell stories of people who have overcome odds in their life and career, changed careers completely, or had life changing personal events alter their perspective on their purpose. In a society that is ever looking for meaning, we discuss how to make your mark, focus, stay true to who you are, and keep laughing in an ever changing, evolving, and expanding community. Cator Sparks is a southern gentleman, dandy, writer, editor, activist, fashion icon, and life coach. Anna McCraney is a fashion designer, reality show winner, Julia Sugarbaker-style rant deliverer, and founder of Blank Canvas Development, a product development firm for fashion and accessory entrepreneurs, made ethically in the USA. www.catorsparkscoaching.com www.blankcanvasdevelopment.com
