Episode 7: Simplifying Your Life, Being A Modern-Day Homemaker, and Choosing To Stay Off Social Media With Julie Fathy

This week we’re sitting down with Julie Fathy— an incredible woman who I have had the privilege of meeting this year. Julie is one of the founders of On The Menu— which is a nutrition analysis company that works with labeling and food manufacturers nationwide. Their clients include Justin’s (like the peanut butter),, Jimmy Johns, Ted’s Montana Grill and more. More importantly, Julie is a mama of three including the mom to our BMD team member, Jordan. Not only had Jordan told me about Julie’s incredible and successful entrepreneurship journey, but what really caught my attention was Julie’s passion for minimalism and living a simple life— particularly, how she has accomplished to run a zero waste household. And we dive into why Julie has chosen to refrain from using social media.

Episode 6: Montana, Marketing, and Building An Authentic Brand

This week I sit down with one of BMD’s lead designers, Presley. She has lived in multiple cities and studied engineering at UT Austin, where she also worked heavily in social media and the influencing world for multiple brands.Being a generational Montanan, I have been incredibly intentional about how I have built my business, Bozeman Media Design. Relationships are at the heart of everything I do, and I really lead BMD with this idea of “community.” I thought it would be interesting to sit with someone who is new to the Bozeman area and see her perspective. We discuss the opportunity of jobs BMD brings to the area, outsourcing locally, and how authentic relationships lead to building a strong brand.

Episode 5: Being On The Team Of A Startup and Trusting The Vision

This week we’re taking a bit of a different approach in terms of guests and topics— we are interviewing some of my team members for my business Bozeman Media Design, which is a social media management and content creation startup based out of Bozeman, Montana. I thought it would be interesting to have the girls on— without me— to have a discussion about what it is like being on the team of a startup. They delve into the reality of what it looks like being a lean team and trusting a companies vision in its beginning stages.

In this episode we talk about making the occupational switch from being a nurse to business owner, how she partnered with her distributors Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters, etc., and what it looks like to embrace a healthy work life balance post-burnout.
