How to Transition from an Unpaid Volunteer to a For-Profit Business: AME 105 - a podcast by Patty Palmer: Art Teacher and expert in teaching art to kids.

You probably know someone just like today's guest. Someone who is passionate, dedicated, creative, and organized. She's the gale that takes on everything and does it so well. You may even find that she reminds you of YOU.

Ashley Bruce is our Sparkler Spotlight for September. Ashley started her own art business in San Diego, California and visits local schools to help start and support art programs.We chat about how her business started and how it impacted her life then and now. And because she is a featured Sparkler, Ashley turns the table on a typical episode to ask me questions. And this is where is gets good.

I'm pretty passionate about a few things when it comes to teaching art and running a business. Can you guess what some of them might be?

Ashley and I go deep on valuing your time, yourself and art. If you've been hired to start an art program in your school, you'll find Ashley's experience, ideas and resilience inspiring.
