H ave you ever dreamed of starting your own something Maybe your own business - photo 2

H ave you ever dreamed of starting your own something? Maybe your own business? Have you ever imagined what it would feel like to turn your passion into a project that supports you? Have you ever pictured turning the key to the door of your first store or handing someone a business card with your name at the top?

You are in good company.

You are holding what Ive always dreamed of creating. Its a magazine that is a conversation. Its a place for people in the creative community to connect, share, and learn together. Not just about ways to start and run businesses, but also about ways to live fuller, more meaningful lives and to find (and be) the support we all need to do our best.

This first issue is all about community. Well look at the ways people within the creative world have banded together to create safe, supportive, and inspiring spaces. Well look at how theyre transforming representation in the media. And well talk openly about the importance of community health, both mental and physical.

In the stories that follow, youll meet people who share your goals and aspirationsboth big and small. They know what it feels like to dream big, overcome obstacles, and be vulnerable.

Good Company was inspired by a book I wrote called In the Company of Women that features over one hundred women who run their own creative practices and businesses, from painters and poets to heads of national corporations. In the Company of Women taught me that there are an infinite number of paths to success and each story is worth telling and listening to. It also taught me that nothing great is ever created alone. When we work together, we succeed.

Good Company continues the conversations started in that book. Here well discuss, in great depth and with honesty, the challenges and triumphs of work life.

Thank you for joining the conversation. Im so happy to be in your company.

Love,
