In this episode, I sit down with Michele Muska, a textile artist, craft industry connector, and the face of the iron brand Oliso. Michele has spent decades doing many things at once: painting, art therapy, product development, publishing, hand stitching, and now custom stitching on clothing. Her career has always been shaped more by curiosity and connection than by a tidy plan. She and her friend Leslie Tucker Jenison have been hosting a weekly Instagram Live since August 2020 (phone-only, low-tech, low-pressure), and their Wednesday Afternoon Chats have become a quiet cornerstone of community for artists and makers. Michele reflects on why engagement matters more than follower count, how lifting other creatives is always worth it, and why a small, loyal audience is a real business asset.
This conversation is a gentle reminder that creative lives don't have to look a certain way. They just have to be yours.
