Better Together: Empress Stationery on Working with Family, Managing Interns and the Benefits of a “Work Wife”


Jessica Hinton, creative director & founder of Empress Stationery, is on the podcast this week to dive into growing her business, social media strategy, time management, and more. Empress started out as a side hustle, but quickly became her passion. Jessica dives into how Empress became her main hustle, how her focus has evolved over the years, and how she navigated the early days of Instagram. Jessica and a fellow entrepreneur developed a hugely successful internship handbook, and she details her strategy with interns now and how that has changed over the years.
