  • The real deal!!

    This podcast and these ladies are the real deal!! I’m amazed by the generosity in the amount of information and knowledge they share here. I’ve been a part of her coaching program (10/10 by the way) and I’m amazed by the ways they have found ways to reach and teach designers through different methods and platforms to improve our industry as a whole. If you love the podcast I 100% recommend coaching with Cheryl to really dig in, but love how accessible they make this for everyone!

  • Everything You Need to Know

    Cheryl and Liv are a wealth of knowledge, uncut and unfiltered, serving up actionable steps with a sense of humor and an understanding of what it’s like to be a designer and a business owner. They are in the trenches with you, offering encouragement and a little kick in the pants. I’m so grateful that they are telling it like it is, and helping us, as well as the entire industry, level up.

Having knowledge is one thing, but having the capability to disperse that knowledge into money making processes for others is entirely different. She is active and successful in the design field and to g... more
