Colton Petry of the Just Dumb Enough Podcast
Starting a fashion business is not for the faint of heart. Last month I had the opportunity to be interviewed by Colton Petry of the Just Dumb Enough Podcast about what it takes to start a business in this industry.
Being interviewed by Colton was extremely easy. His questions were perfect and he kept the flow right along the same pathway I know that people would appreciate.
For people who are looking to see how we as a company can help you best, Colton really pulled it out perfectly.
He is clearly someone who knows how to get the best information, thank you, Colton.

More Than Work with Rabiah Coon
This week’s guest is Martina Carello, founder of the Colour Alchemist Canada.
In her business, she has sought to help others avoid mistakes that impede fashion business growth and success. Martina is also developing two clothing lines of her own including one that focuses on Gen X women and focuses not only on their bodies but also the stories the women have to tell.
Martina’s love of clothes started early on and she was given her first sewing machine when she was eight. Though she started out in a liberal arts program when she first went to college, she ended up going to fashion college after reckoning with the passing of her grandmother who had been designer. She earned her degree in Fashion Design Marketing and even worked professionally during school.
We talk about her purpose and also about the way times have changed. Our chat takes place on the eve of Martina’s 50th birthday which makes it a reflective and reverent time to talk about life and career.
Note from Rabiah (Host):
It was fun talking to Martina, especially in the moments about nostalgia. We grew up at a similar time where our kind of play led to scraped knees and learning lessons about how to interact with friends IRL. She is making an impact while working in an area she loves. She shares an important lesson on how we can make am impact anywhere if that’s what we want to do.
