Vanessa Andrews of Madam Chino

This week, we are excited to bring you this podcast all about inspiring Milwaukee woman, living their dreams. 

Sometimes in order to dream big, you have to start small. That’s what we’ll be talking about with our guest today, Vanessa  Andrews, aka Madam Chino, owner and proprietor of Madam Chino custom tailoring and vintage upcycling. In this episode of Cream City Dreams (and their FIRST interview ever), listen as Shelly and Meagan talk with Vanessa about the creativity and outside-the-box thinking required to start something from the ground up. Sometimes you really do have to ‘button up’ and start before you’re ready. 

Listen as we talk about … 

• how local coffeeshops helped a creator get her start 
• how starting something with friends is a great way to get moving
• why bartering your gifts can often be the beneficial 
• using the performance act approach: just try on that character and get started!
