The Passion Driven Entrepreneur

Episode 14: The Passion-Driven Entrepreneur (feat. Tonia Thorne)

Episode Overview

Hosted by Karina Kampe (certified transformational coach, artist, creative entrepreneur, and songwriter) and Maria Wronski-Ellis (artist, songwriter, educator, and author of The Mindful Songwriter), this episode is a love letter to every creative spirit who’s ever felt stuck in a job that didn’t light them up.

We’re diving deep into what it really means to be a passion-driven entrepreneur, someone who follows that internal spark even when it leads off the beaten path. Our guest this week? The wildly multi-talented Tonia Thorne, whose career has taken her from animation and live performance to launching her own voiceover business in the UK.
