Atlanta small business interview with Whitney Marshall, owner of Whitney Marshall Coaching LLC

How long have you been in business and what inspired you to become an entrepreneur? I officially launched Whitney Marshall Coaching LLC in the Fall of 2020. I have always had an entrepreneurial spirit, and spent the first twenty years of my career building the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs at a large, international law firm. After my job was unexpectedly eliminated, I had a chance to reflect on my next chapter and realized that I had an untapped gift that

What does it mean to be a Certified Professional Photographer?

In the early days of the COVID19 pandemic lock down last year, I spent a lot of time applying for business grants and retooling my website. Because photography studios were considered non-essential business, I couldn't operate for several weeks. After I finished with all of my website updating, I started studying for the PPA's Certified Professional Photographer exam. I've been a member of the Professional Photographers of America for five years. This national photography org

My favorite lifestyle locations in Atlanta

I offer two types of portrait sessions... lifestyle sessions and studio sessions. These labels can be confusing, because not everyone uses the same terminology for these two varieties of shoots. I categorize studio sessions as the images taken indoors with a solid studio background. I put all outdoor sessions and indoor shots that show the environment in the "lifestyle" category. It can be a little tricky to find a good location for photos. Some places like the Atlanta Botani

Atlanta small business interview with Leslie Brashear, owner and designer of Delightful Sites

How long have you been in business and what inspired you to become an entrepreneur? I've had the business since 2010 but really kick-started Delightful Sites when I moved to Atlanta in early 2017. I was initially inspired to become an entrepreneur when I was still in a banking career. I realized that there was a part of me being restricted and I wanted to use my skills I'd gained from years in banking as well as in the hospitality industry and my early years in photograp

Atlanta small business interview with Sanah Chatterjee, Associate Broker at Palmer House Properties

How long have you been in business and what inspired you to become an entrepreneur? It's been 5 years since going solo and I have no desire to look back. My leap was two fold...I was already helping friends on the idea of buying a home vs. renting, what neighborhoods to look into, referring an agent/lender. Plus, I was in a slow advancing career no matter how hard I challenged myself. I was (and am) hungry to work and perform, but certain corporate structure doesn't encourag

Atlanta small business interview with Amanda Carver, LMFT of Heart Link Counseling

How long have you been in business and what inspired you to become an entrepreneur? I opened by private practice in Atlanta in 2014, at the time also working full time for a non-profit. I committed to the practice full time in 2015. I am inspired to be an entrepreneur for many reasons, the most important being wanting to offer high quality psychotherapy. Being in business for myself means that I can focus on receiving the best training and guide the therapy in the most

Atlanta Small Business Interview with Atlanta realtor Jeffrey Johnson

How long have you been in business and what inspired you to become an entrepreneur? I have been a realtor for almost seven years. I was licensed with Harry Norman Realtors for four years and I have been with Keller Williams- Metro Atlanta for the past few years. I left the banking industry after five years in a management role. I wasn't happy and I knew it was time for a change. I wanted to be self employed, and thought that real estate would be a good fit for me. The flexibi

Atlanta Small Business Interview with Gwen Taylor of Wind and Soul Eco-lodge and Retreat Center

How long have you been in business and what inspired you to become an entrepreneur? I’m open to inspiration any time, any place. But by far my biggest source of inspiration – the driving force for becoming an entrepreneur – comes from a strong desire to align my work consciously with who and how I want to be in the world. And I am committed to devoting myself to love. That’s why in 2018 I founded Wind and Soul, which represents for me an embodiment of the power and potency of
