014: Sara McNally on the power of sharing your story and vulnerability as an entrepreneur
Hey hey, welcome to the Human Connection podcast, I’m your host Brittney Lynn and today’s interview is with my good friend and past client Sara McNally of Constellation & Co!
Constellation & Co is letterpress stationery company and brick & mortar gift shop located in the Seattle Fishermen’s Terminal.
Constellation & Co uses the power of words and the magic of snail mail to connect people and make us all feel less alone.
Our line of cards and gifts are inspired by the events and occasions in life that are made sweet by close, honest relationships. Our work as Constellation & Co. is built for sharing joy and holding our loved ones close in the middle of pain.
Sara and I get vul-ner-able during this episode which is one thing I love about Sara. She is an open book when it comes to share her personal and business struggles in life.
