Thank you so much for everything you all do! Your class "Becoming the CEO of Your Creative Life" from a couple years ago was instrumental in helping me set up my business, and Camp Barnabas came along as a client for me not long after that. I'm so grateful I got to spend the last year and a half working on this project, and your business/marketing advice played a big role in setting me up for success with that!
