Artist Life - My Podcast Interview with EM/POWEREDbyWMN

Podcast Video — Episode #54

Listen on: Apple | Spotify | YouTube

This year I took time away from the studio to speak with Krystal Jugarap about my business, MONOLISA. At the time of this interview, her company was known as EM/POWEREDbyWMN. Since then, it has rebranded as Herrolo. In this conversation, I share my journey building MONOLISA through face-to-face sales, along with lessons I've learned growing a handmade business.

Editor's Note (2026): Since this interview was recorded, EM/POWEREDbyWMN has rebranded as Herrolo. As a result, you may see both names referenced across the original podcast platforms, videos, and newer company resources.

Thank you to Krystal Jugarap for inviting me to share my story on Episode #54 of the EM/POWEREDbyWMN Podcast. I truly enjoyed our conversation about building MONOLISA through face-to-face sales and the lessons I've learned as a handmade business owner. I hope listeners enjoy the episode as much as I enjoyed being part of it.
