ABOUT THE PODCAST

Hello Frances.

Welcome to Hello Frances, the podcast for curious creatives, emerging entrepreneurs, and business owners seeking knowledge, purpose, and community.

Each month, we bring you two fresh episodes that spark ideas and foster connections as we explore the creative journey. With candid conversations featuring guests, friends, and mentors, you’ll gain diverse insights and inspiration to fuel your best work. Every episode is refreshingly brief—never exceeding 30 minutes—making it the perfect addition to your playlist of favorites.

Join us for meaningful dialogue and actionable ideas. Let’s get started!
