Ep. 15 - Tena Clark, Grammy Award Winner and Author of "Southern Discomfort" On How To Go With Your Gut

How do you create business opportunity when you are invisible and
starting a new business? What does it take to be prepared for it
when potential success arrives at your doorstep? How do you find
the courage to turn down a "golden parachute" during an economic
downturn? Learn from Grammy-award winning producer, songwriter,
entrepreneur and author of "Southern Discomfort" Tena Clark as she
talks with us about her journey to creative salvation and
sustaining international success. This is The Honest Field Guide
podcast, where you will get the unvarnished truth in a robust
conversation from veteran business owner and serial entrepreneur
JinJa Birkenbeuel, CEO of Birk Creative and millennial entrepreneur
and Birk Creative content strategist Esther Ikoro about the hope,
horror and beauty of entrepreneurship. (Portrait art created by

concept: On our new season of the Honest Field Guide Podcast, we
present some of the world's top entrepreneurs that are quietly and
consistently creating their own masterpieces of success through
their businesses and ideas. They are not famous and are not
Instagram stars--yet. Rather, they are thriving in their
creativity, diversity, authenticity and are in some way, creating
social impact through entrepreneurship. We are going beyond
celebrating and rather are peeking inside the minds of business
owners that keep making money moves and bringing their processes of
invention to the forefront. Often, we are so busy working in and on
our businesses, we forget how amazing we are and even the small
tactics we deploy to push beyond barriers should not be taken for
granted. As an entrepreneur, always remember that our natural
instincts can be honed and repackaged and used again and again to
keep growing our businesses. Our conversations on The Honest Field
Guide are a reminder of our extraordinary talents--despite the fact
that we are diverse, unique and dare we say creatively divergent.
