We wanted a guest whose studio had not just survived but thrived in saturated markets, someone who had ridden out all the different industry shifts and trends, and most importantly, someone who can tell you how you can apply the same strategies to your own studio biz and claim your spot as an industry leader.
That’s where Jessica comes in.
