The Eloquent Entrepreneur: Conversations with Everyday Changemakers: Recent Episodes
Linda Mackie
I believe anyone can make a positive difference in the world, and you don't have to be a celebrity or billionaire to do it. All you really need is the desire to use your special gifts, talents, and passions, and then simply begin. THE ELOQUENT ENTREPRENEUR is a place where I have conversations with everyday changemakers who not only want to thrive in their business but who also want to make their mark so that we can collectively create a lasting legacy and ignite others to do the same. Listen in for inspiring stories, hard-won wisdom, and learn practical tools to help accelerate your impact.
Special Guest Shannon MacFarlane is most certainly my kindred spirit with a shared passion for animals and creating space for people to feel safe and loved. A compassionate human, mother, grief enthusiast, artist, and photographer, Shannon specializes in grief photography and painting where she documents the stories of families experiencing long-term medical treatment, hospice, end-of-life care, and death care - for both humans and non-human family members alike. Shannon shares her own personal journey of loss and getting to her happy place of witnessing and documenting these not-so-happy histories in people's lives that perhaps others daren't go. Her impact is deep and far-reaching in the healing process and it was such a pleasure to chat with her.
