Her first 2 years of business she ran other people's YouTube channels and she was taking nearly a full week to create one video - plus she had her 2 young kids at home - and it really made it tough for her to make her own content. She got to the point where she had a "content breakdown" and stopped producing. For a little bit, she was okay, but her business never grew - she could not get more clients without content creation and so she needed to find a better solution.

In this episode, we are glad to welcome Kimberly Jong, the CEO, and Co-founder of Rumi Spice. Rumi Spice is a for-profit social enterprise that imports saffron from Afghanistan. The company started about four years ago when a team of US military veterans partnered with Afghan farmers to cultivate saffron in the country. It aims at telling the story behind the Afghanistan saffron by bringing high-quality saffron to customers across the world. Its mission is to empower Afghan women and help in the growing of the country’s economy.  Last year, they were lucky enough to go on Shark Tank and have Mark Cuban agree to invest in the business. This was a really big milestone as it meant more than 8 million people worldwide knew about them. In the beginning, these farmers wouldn’t shake my hand because I was a woman but after a year, and after we’ve exported over 100 kilos of saffron, these farmers not only shake my hand but also take selfies. They understand the business part of this and it's why capitalism is a great way to lay a foundation for peace. IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN; How the business began. The harvesting and processing procedure. How gender difference is a factor when it comes to working on the farms. The mission of the business. How they fitted into the Afghan’s people culture. Who are their customers? What are some of the uses of saffron? Obstacles faced when the business was starting. How the business has contributed to the growth of the surrounding community. How long it took for the business to be established. What is the role of Mark Cuban in the business? Advice to people looking up to start a similar business. If Rumi didn’t exist, what other business would she venture into? Links mentioned Website: www.rumispice.com   Did you like this? Thank you for listening to this episode!

Whenever I explore cultural art projects, I wonder if the lesson I plan will reflect on the values and traditions of the designated country. There have been so many times when I’m knee-deep in Google searches that I wish I could just call someone and have them tell me the most popular art styles in their country. Today’s interview is that type of conversation. I spoke with Sparkler, Payal Wachhar, an art teacher from India who teaches in Australia. Payal and I talk about her passion for inquiry base learning and her favorite Indian art influences. Oh my goodness….the details, descriptions and her passion! So contagious. IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:  All about Payal’s journey from India to Australia, and how she picked up so many different art skills along the way that she incorporates into her teaching today Why she initially “hated” the idea of becoming a teacher (and what changed this) Payal’s art philosophy and non-traditional ways of teaching art to her students How customizing her teaching to her students needs is leading to a higher level of trust and more engagement from the kids The ways she would design a curriculum around teaching the art of India Why you should be paying attention to your own zone of genius and working the things you are good at into your lessons How consistency in my lessons and being fair to everyone were keys to my teaching experience (and why I personally didn’t use any technology in my classrooms) LISTEN TO THE SHOW   LINKS & RESOURCES Payal's favorite DSS lessons: Chinese Dragons Chicken Little & Henny Penny Art Project Metallic Robot Drawing Videos and Freebies for the 10 year Deep Space Sparkle celebration can be found at: Deep Space Sparkle Facebook Page Deep Space Sparkle Party Page

With the deadline of my first book approaching, I have uncovered a few differences between teaching art in a small group setting and teaching art in a classroom. Having a series of private workshops for the kids who are helping me with my book has allowed me to witness first hand what a private or small-group based art-making experience is like for parents and studio owners.  I'm able to explore paint options and drawing techniques that I might have avoided in a traditional classroom setting but seems really natural with a small group. While the distinctions will be featured in my book, today's episode will identify my initial reactions to the differences. Today’s episode is an informal chat about what I discovered and how it will impact my book.

One of the hardest parts about being an art teacher is advocating for your art program. Feeling vulnerable to budget cuts, constantly aligning with new standards, accommodating everyone’s perception and expectation of what art should be can be very challenging. Recently I asked the Sparklers to share what their biggest struggles are right now in the art room…I love questions like this because it really gives you insight on how people are feeling and what their current struggles are. And the most fascinating thing for me is that everyone can relate. Today’s episode addresses three very common struggles in the art room: reduced class time, art project expectations and explaining or defending art techniques or art philosophies. You may be surprised what all these struggles have in common and how to best eliminate them from your day. IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:  Why one of the hardest parts about being an art teacher is advocating for your art program Like children, no two art teachers are alike How as a creative you do have the capacity to think outside of the box to solve problems Why you should look at changing your perception of the problem - instead of battling the administration How the amount of excitement you show will affect the engagement of the children How your children are your advocates, and the way you talk to the parents through the art Questions to ask yourself to help define your art room intentions How your end-of-the-year art show will answer every question that parents and administrations have about your art program How the Four Agreements have transformed Patty's life Subscribe to Art Made Easy and receive new episodes directly on your phone via your podcast App.  Note: If you have an iPhone, subscribe in iTunes.
