Misfit Makers
Welcome to Misfit Makers, the podcast celebrating those who color outside the lines. Each episode brings you candid conversations creatives and entrepreneurs who’ve torn up the rulebook and charted their own path to success. We dive into the real stories behind their journeys—the challenges they’ve faced, the conventions they’ve broken, and how they’ve transformed their uniqueness into their greatest strength. This isn’t about following a formula or fitting into someone else’s definition of success. It’s about embracing what makes you different and building something authentic, meaningful, and entirely your own. Whether you’re an artist challenging industry norms, a business owner creating new models of success, or simply someone who believes there’s more than one way to make your mark, you’ve found your people here. We share the messy parts, the breakthroughs, and the heart behind the work. Join us for honest, upbeat, and sometimes rebellious conversations with those who prove that not fitting in might just be their superpower—and could be yours too. Misfit Makers: Because the most extraordinary success often comes from the most unconventional journeys.
