Jen Olmstead, co-founder and Lead Designer of TONIC Site Shop, takes us along on her journey from accidental entrepreneur to successful Showit website template designer over the past 11 years. She shares the importance of storytelling in marketing and the power of creating content that is valuable, engaging, and fun to create – anything but boring. Jen emphasizes the need to focus on quality over quantity and to find the intersection between what you are uniquely capable of delivering and what your audience wants.
 
Throughout our conversation, Jen shares insights on finding inspiration, sharing your story, and embracing your uniqueness (weirdness?) in your business. She explains WHY design builds trust with your audience – the key factor that leads them to purchase from you. Jen also discusses setting boundaries, prioritizing, and involving your kids in your work. She encourages entrepreneurs to embrace their strengths and be ruthless with what they say no to. Jen shares her perspective on having faith and trusting in God's plan, as well as the importance of doing less but better. 
 
Jen describes how 2023 was the hardest year in business for TONIC, what she and partner Jeff Shipley learned and how 2024 will be different because of it. Thank you so much to Jen for sharing her wit and wisdom with us in this entertaining convo that feels a lot like a high-end marketing masterclass.
