You might have been told that you have to bury your faith or hide your inexperience to build a successful business, but the opposite is true — your authentic self is an essential ingredient to creating your success.
Angelia Stone, publisher and founder of Hope magazine, has built an unapologetically Christian company that thrives, and back when she didn’t know what she was doing, she reached out to people who did, from veterans in the magazine publishing industry to college students developing their creative professional skills.
If you love a success story like I do, then you need to listen in and hear Angelia talk about her divine connections and community, including: Growing her church newsletter to a national magazine, getting her first book deal with a major publisher, the book publishing world from a magazine publisher’s perspective, what a Yes from a publication really means, who you need on your side and in your circle … and more!
