The podcast features Nancy Marks, who shares her inspiring journey from a 35-year corporate career to becoming a passionate fused glass artist and founder of Glass Arts Collective, a local art studio. Initially skeptical about her artistic talents, Nancy’s experience in a fused glass class with her mom ignited a love for creating with glass, leading her to embrace the imperfections in her work and discover a market niche for unique handmade gifts. Her transition into the art world allowed her to explore creativity outside her corporate background, making thank-you gifts for customers that were highly appreciated for their personal touch.Nancy discusses the importance of self-care, taking time to relax and recharge amidst a busy schedule, and the positive effects it has on productivity and mental well-being. She emphasizes continuous appreciation and feedback for employees, avoiding surprises during annual reviews. Transitioning into a new industry, Nancy highlights adapting skills from her corporate experience to manage her business effectively, despite initial challenges like opening just before the COVID-19 pandemic. She focuses on self-improvement, learning new techniques, and marketing strategies to ensure the success of Glass Arts Collective.
