I am back for Part 2 with Jessica Palmer! Since Jessica and I recorded the first episode, things have changed a lot. Jessica, like other studio owners was forced closer her physical studio and pivot her business model basically over night. On this episode we talk about what she did when the pandemic hit, how she has been keeping her studio alive through online offerings, what it has been like to reopen in a small capacity, and everything that she's learned along the way. Enjoy!
