The Interview Series: Spotlight on Amy Kuretsky

Tell me a little about you and your company. 

Hi! My name is Amy and I'm a licensed acupuncturist, herbalist, and health coach. But really what I do is help driven, type-A creatives balance their hustle with their health. I truly believe that as entrepreneurs, we are our businesses' most valuable asset - so let's start treating ourselves that way!


How long have you owned your own business? 

I've been working with clients for three years now, but I filed the paperwork to make it legit before I was even out of grad school! (Calling me an over-achiever would be putting it lightly.)

The Interview Series: Spotlight on All Fired Up in Florida

Tell me a little about you and your company.

All Fired Up In Florida provides hand-made functional art in kilns.  This includes glass and clay media.  I got started in this when I was barely 20 as a way to take a break from two teeny children one night a week for just a couple hours.  My mom had a kiln and taught ceramics.  She taught me some of the most important things I needed to know about the art.  I find myself still calling her for advice to this day.  I don’t do much ceramics, or slip-casting, but I do some because there is still demand for some of those old retro items or items that are easier to cast by mold than throw on a wheel or build from hand.  I spend a large amount of time doing hand-building or creating pottery completely by hand or on a pottery wheel.  In addition, I create fused glass items in the kiln.  Nearly all of the items I make are functional for the home.  I never get tired of what I do because there are so many different aspects and new areas to explore.  I’m constantly experimenting with new techniques.

Tell me a little about you and your company.

I am a mom of two little kids, a wife, surfer and designer. My company is Three Feathers Design and I help creative entrepreneurs build kick ass brands. 

How long have you owned your own business?

It is coming on 2 years, but I just recently started working full-time for myself, up until recently I had a part-time job - to pay the bills and provide a little security while I built my business.
