Jenny Lei is the founder of Freja, the cult-favorite vegan handbag brand that you've probably seen on Hailey Bieber, Sarah Jessica Parker, and all over your feed.But here's what you might not know. Jenny started Freja with no fashion background, no design experience, and no investors. She funded it herself with money she made from a dropshipping business she built after Googling "how to make money fast online" because she had to pay for her life living in NYC. She launched a work bag brand out of her New Jersey apartment in February 2020, weeks before the entire world stopped going to the office. She signed up two thousand people to an email list, sent her launch email, and didn't get a single sale. And she was doing all of it on a visa, with a clock ticking on whether she'd even get to stay in the country. Today, Freja is a multi-million dollar brand and one of the most talked-about names in the space.In this episode, Jenny gets really honest about the slow years nobody talks about, why she believes growing too fast can actually be a curse, and the moment she broke down crying in an airport because she'd been holding the entire business together by herself, with no systems underneath her. We talk about the difference between selling products and creating a brand, how intuition is built through failure, and learning to separate who you are from the company you create. She also opens up about burnout, the systems and team she built behind Freja, and what it was like to step into the spotlight after years of hiding. If you're in one of those quiet, slow seasons right now — doing everything right, waiting for it to pay off — this is the conversation you need to hear.In this episode, we'll talk to Jenny about:* Why growth should be measured by learning, not just revenue. [02:37]* The downside of growing too fast without understanding why it worked. [03:58]* Growing up with curiosity and the freedom to explore new interests. [04:05]* Navigating identity after moving between China and the United States. [06:00]* How a vegan Instagram account became an early entrepreneurial venture. [06:58]* Separating personal identity from the business you build. [09:08]* Why the business should work for you—not the other way around. [10:00]* From Cornell graduate to Googling how to make money online. [13:55]* Learning the fundamentals of online selling through dropshipping. [15:22]* The difference between selling products and building a brand. [17:05]* Creating Freja after failing to find the perfect work bag. [19:25]* Using naive optimism to design a product without a fashion background. [20:25]* Launching just before the pandemic and facing an immediate setback. [24:25]* Why volume, consistency, and paid ads fueled early growth. [26:02]* The gradual rise of Freja and the success of the Chrystie collection. [27:58]* Reaching a turning point and finally viewing the company as a real business. [29:07]* Burnout, team growth, and learning how to build systems at scale. [31:17]* The marketing channels that mattered most from startup to scale. [35:23]* Stepping into the founder spotlight and sharing the story behind the brand. [37:48]* How journaling became the most impactful business tool. [42:33]* Using ChatGPT and the Socratic method for better decision-making. [44:12]* Moving to London, evolving as a designer, and reimagining the future of Freja.

An artist restores one of Beacon's oldest structures A home on South Avenue in Beacon, built around 1756, has a special place in the history of American thought. Alexander Hamilton slept there during his honeymoon, although it was located elsewhere, on what is today a parking lot. Inside the home, Hamilton wrote letters hashing out political positions developed in the Federalist Papers, which provided a conceptual framework for the Constitution, says its longtime owner, Yuan Lee. Known as Chrystie House, the structure is likely the second-oldest residence in Beacon, behind the Madam Brett homestead built in 1709. Lee bought it in 2007 and operates a bed-and-breakfast. He says the income barely offsets the dump truck of money he poured into restoring and maintaining the house, where Lee's impeccable interior design merges East and West, one of his goals. Lee, a native of Taiwan, moved to New York City in 1989 to work as a painter and illustrator. Nearly 20 years later, a group of Beacon artists recruited him to relocate from his Manhattan apartment. His paintings hang in guest rooms and common areas. The United Nations commissioned detailed depictions of endangered species in their habitats from Lee. A student of Matisse, his still-life paintings, Parisian street scenes and a study of two violin restorers adorn the sitting room. "People always say my work is so realistic that it looks like a photo," Lee says. "That insults me. I paint what I know, not just what I see. I bring reason to realism." He has turned his attention to landscape design; he sculpted the stonework on the grounds. Photos and reports on his ongoing research into the house are shared at chrystiehouseproject.com. The rooms at the inn are named after key players in its past: William Few, Albert Chrystie, CJ Slocum and Henry Winthrop Sargent. Madam Brett makes a cameo as the aunt and benefactor of the builder, fur trader Abraham DePeyster Jr., whose father served as the mayor of New Amsterdam and governor of New York. Beyond serving as a bustling port, Fishkill Landing attracted wealthy city folk. Initially, people referred to the peninsula as DePeyster's Point. Few is a largely forgotten founding father who moved from Georgia to Manhattan at the behest of his New Yorker wife. He served as president of an early predecessor to Citibank and, in 1820, deeded his summer home to his son-in-law, Albert Chrystie. Two decades later, on a nearby slope, Henry Winthrop Sargent, a scion of a merchant family, built Wodenethe. Under the tutelage of Newburgh-born landscape architect Andrew Jackson Downing, Sargent turned the surrounding 25 acres into an experimental botanical garden. In 1927, Clarence Slocum, described by Lee as "the pioneer of celebrity rehab," bought Chrystie House and moved it by horse and roller to the nearby Wodenethe estate because excavating at Dennings Point Brick Works threatened its foundation. Slocum lived in the home but sent his patients to other buildings and campuses, including the circa 1840 Peter C. DuBois House on Slocum Road in Dutchess Junction and the mansion on Route 9D later known as Craig House. "They hid [the celebrities] well," says Lee. Wodenethe was razed in 1953; its footprint and most of its grounds became plots for tract housing. A few specimen trees from the experimental garden remain, including a male trunk that helped foster many of New York City's ubiquitous and odiferous Gingko trees. Despite the home's association with psychiatric patients and dark celebrity - actor Henry Fonda's wife killed herself on its grounds - there is no evidence of hauntings, says Lee's wife, Yulina Zhang. "If there are ghosts, they're good, positive ones."

Christie Blankenship and her husband decided to adopt 16 month old Reese in 2017 after she was so abused by biological family members that Reese was unable to to walk, talk, or see. 2 years later Reese was diagnosed with DIPG on May 29th of 2019, and exactly 4 years later on May 29th of this year she passed away from this dreaded form of Pediatric Brain cancer.

Whether you love to take your own photos or not, most bloggers need to find free stock images or free photos for their blog at some point. But as a few recent horror stories have shown, how to find free and legal images for your blog is NOT so simple. Here are three things you need to know! Thanks to PopUpAlly Pro for sponsoring this episode! Find out more about PopUpAlly Pro! How to Find Free and Legal Images for Your Blog  Before I get to the tips on how to find free and legal images for your blog, I want to share the horror stories. You MAY have already read these, but they are scary. The first is from Allison Puryear who shares that she was sued for using an image that she got from a stock photo site. (Language warning in case that offends you!) Her malpractice insurance saved her, but the interesting thing to note is that the lawyer she spoke to said that this is COMMON. Because photographers are doing this on purpose as a cash flow. That stinks. But it's legal.  The second post is from Chrystie of Living for Naptime and she shares how several years ago, she used a photo from a Google Search (hey- a few years ago MANY of us did that ignorantly) and lost $7500. She also explains that this was an intentional practice of the photographer.  You might think that this won't happen to you, but there are three key things that everyone need to consider if using an image that they did not take. Let's get into it.  Three Things to Know Before Using a Photo on Your Blog Permission - if the photo is able to be used by a third party (that's you) Attribution - how you need to give credit for the image source Usage - in what ways the image may be used legally Often people stop at permission. We KNOW now that we shouldn't use an image we find on Google. But we may NOT consider the fact that we still might have to put a line underneath the image that tells where it came from and who took the photo. We also might assume that because we find a free photo or even PAY for a stock photo that we can use it on the cover of our book or sell t-shirts using the image.  But PERMISSION does not mean that you can use an image without attribution or anywhere you want. You MUST consider all three.  Every site for stock photos is different, but you want to look for the licensing and attribution information. It may help to email the company itself if this is unclear. This may vary from image to image on ONE site, which is the hard thing. You might get used to no attribution on a certain site because most don't require it and then not realize that ONE of the images does. Pay attention! Or use a site like Pixabay, where all images fall under the Creative Commons 0 license, where you can use it for commercial purposes with no attribution. Be sure if you are searching for Creative Commons photos that you STILL read the license, as there are several different kinds of Creative Commons licenses.  Be sure that even if you are PAYING for a photo, you read the fine print. You want to be as careful as possible, especially considering that some photographers are intentionally using this as a means to make money. Smarmy, but they can. WE need to be the ones doing our due diligence on our photos!  

This is the third and final episode in the series where I interview my business partner, Chrystie Leonard, about buying and selling a business, specific to medical writing. These three episodes cover 1) What to look for when buying a business; 2) How to grow a business; and 3) How to get your business ready for sale. In this third episode, Chrystie and I talk about the following: What makes a business attractive for sale? Why would a company buy a business rather than just hire employees? What to do to prepare your business for sale.

In this episode, Emma Hitt Nichols talks to her business partner Chrystie Leonard, co-owner of Nascent Medical. This is the second part of a three-part series. In this part, we talk about strategic planning, how to grow a business, and the key metrics that are needed to evaluate the growth of a business. In the first part, aired a week ago, we talked about what to look for when buying a business. Next week, in the final third, we'll talk about getting the business ready for sale.  

Join me as I talk to my business partner Chrystie Leonard about what to look for in a business purchase and also what to consider if you ever want to sell your business. Maybe as a freelance medical writer, you have never thought about how your business is going to end, but end it must at some point!

Have you got a great idea but aren’t sure exactly what to do with it?  Websites and blogs can not only give you a creative outlet to share your ideas, but you can make money from them, too.   Once you figure out what your niche is and who the audience is that you’re trying to reach, you need to figure out how to monetize that to ensure all this hard work pays off.  And then when the fad fades or your interest moves on to something else, what do you do with the successful site that you’ve created and spent so much time building up?    Chrystie Vachon has successfully launched, built up and sold for profit multiple websites in the financial and pop culture lifestyle spaces. Her gift for trendspotting, coupled with her content marketing and social skills, have made her a successful and savvy entrepreneur.   http://www.themarketingagents.com/89

Subject: Sad Max (2012) Observers: John Pavlich, Teague Chrystie Record Date: March 18, 2012, 08:29 PM Plot Summary: In the wake of a global apocalypse, a famous YouTube personality uses his remaining battery life on his laptop to record his long-procrastinated musical. Note: VFX artist, Teague Chrystie (Fringe) went off and made himself a kick-ass short film musical. So impressed I was by this delightful, creative and entertaining effort, I asked Teague to join me for this commentary on his work. We discuss DIY makeup, "saving the fish", web video culture and some musical theory. Remember to listen for the preemptive countdown before starting the film on your player, and please check out Teague's film commentary podcast, Down In Front. It's like this but, you know, good.
