How many times have you said to your best friend, "we should start a business together." I honestly think it’s a true testament to friendship to have this thought cross your mind at least once. You and your friend daydream and joke that, "this would be a really great idea” but then nothing comes to fruition...
Well the same story of friendship applies to our guests, Cora Pursley and Payton Butler. They always knew they wanted to get into business together but unlike the rest of us, these two went the distance. They are now part-time business partners and founders of Dupe Photos!
Dupe is THE place for royalty-free imagery that you actually want to use. With Cora and Payton's social media and creative design backgrounds, it was only natural that they created a site that acts as a social-first image bank that works to support and showcase creators.
We chat about SO much in this episode, there is a takeaway for anyone figuring it out in life. We’re discussing how to continue moving past the dreaming stage of creating something and simply starting the work, realizing imposter syndrome doesn’t get easier as you get older, the key to success when in business with your bestie, trying to live your life in your 20s while also launching a business and accepting that getting the job done is sometimes better than it being absolutely perfect.
Oh! We’re also helping Cora and Payton determine how long they’ve been best friends for.
