I am honored to introduce today's guest, the one and only, Annie Sloan, creator of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. Now, if you've ever dipped your hand into any DIY projects, you've probably come across Annie's famous line of paints. As I say several times during our conversation, her website is a huge library of resources for all kinds of paint projects, from painting kitchen cabinets to speciality designs on furniture. So you must check that out. And Just to give you an idea of how big of a deal it was for me to talk with Annie, she has been called a leader in the design scene by the UK Telegraph, Elle Decor and the venerable World Of Interiors magazine. There's so much to her story... we didn't even touch on her ethical and environmentally sound business practices... maybe we'll have to have her on again... but for now, I think you're going to be just as delighted with this first conversation as I was! Annie and I were chatting before we started recording and she jumped into my first question without me even prompting her (she's a pro at interviews, honestly), so just to get you up to speed, basically, I wanted to know whether or not she agreed that most entrepreneurs of her stature haven't had a straight line to success, that there have been bumps and learning curves along the way. Here's Annie.https://www.anniesloan.com/https://www.anniesloan.com/about/painters-in-residence/https://www.anniesloan.com/about/the-colourist/
