Scroll for a preview of what we featured in our our second edition of our weekly newsletter, @thebigwhisper. This edition focused on how entrepreneurship is an artistic process. Read the overview below and read the full issue at project-ag.co/thebigwhisper // 1. Entrepreneurship is a rollercoaster of a process--an image we designed based on @derekhalpern’s original framework 2. We interviewed @Junejanean, founder of the El Paso, Texas-based, fashion-forward eco-conscious bag company, Junes. From considering jumping ship to questioning her instincts, to navigating real-talk investor feedback, Mann opened up about her rollercoaster of an entrepreneurial journey so far. 3. One of our favorite books: Art & Fear. Replace the word art with life or business, any pursuit, really, and the wisdom in here is applicable, especially to entrepreneurship. 4. A framework that we developed here at Project AG called the Business Growth, that visualizes the phases of early-stage business growth and what to focus on at each one of those phases. 5. A vulnerable piece by founder of @salthousenyc, @bysarahashley, on how her father's recent death has influenced her relationship with creativity and her approach to the next phase of building her company. 6. An article by artist @austinkleon, that makes the case for embracing the process, focusing on one small step at a time, and thinking about what you're doing as building an overall body of work. 7. A spotlight on @pocketsproject, founded by former Chief Creative Officer of @DearKates, @JulieSygiel. On average, men’s pockets are 3” deeper than women’s pockets, if we even get them at all. The Pockets Project aims to design a line of dresses with deep pockets that can hold all our essentials.

A celebration of Junes’ feature last week in @BonAppetitmag ‘s @Healthy_ish. 9. “The whole point of life is to be part of the mess” @ruth.lera quotable.
