#72: Turning a Hobby into a Business with Impact with Samantha Hoff of Pottery with a Purpose

In this episode we are speaking with Samantha Hoff, foundering of Pottery with a Purpose. She shares how a lifelong struggle with generalized anxiety and an early career spent in the fast-paced, gender-biased tech industry led her to seek mental and physical balance - as well as a source of joy, and a means of continuous inspiration - in a previous hobby...pottery making. Realizing that not everyone has time, space, or the budget to recreate all that a ceramics studio offers, she established Pottery with a Purpose, delivering the same creative benefits to others through sustainably-packaged and designed “do-it-yourself” kits containing everything necessary for at-home clay play.

Samantha shares about her background and what inspired her to launch Pottery with a Purpose as well as how her mission drivers her every day. We’ll discuss the ups and downs of being a small business owner as well as the many hats she wears.
