My Experience

Hey there, Maker Friend!

You've come across this "compliance" thing and now you are probably feeling all the feelings.  When I first found out about compliance, I know I did!

Legitimately, I was SCARED when I first found out!  Long story short, I truly imagined that little tiny cement jail cell with a pull-down bed and a tin bucket to do my business in.

The truth is, it's not like that, but I KNOW the feeling and I don't want that feeling to stick with you on this journey of yours.

I'm here to give you the information to help you build your passion with peace of mind that you are doing the right things to protect yourself, your business, your family, and your customer's families.
