59 - Up to Some Badassery with Samantha Parker & Kathy Rasmussen

The Sparkle Hour

Welcome to Episode 59 of The Sparkle Hour featuring Samantha Parker & Kathy Ramussen of Badassery Magazine! We considered turning this episode into a “drinking game” around the words “Badass” or “Badassery”, then reflected that we would be so plastered by the end, we decided not to roll with that. Samantha & Kathy share the “origin story” of Badassery Magazine. How they met, how the clicked and how they grew into what they are today. They reflect on their relationship and how their complementary skills make the business work. They reflect on the magazines they enjoyed growing up and how those publications inspired them…even if it was just from teenage heartthrob posters. The ladies describe how the magazine works: how they find articles and distribute them. They address why they chose a magazine format over a blog format. Most importantly, they share what is REALLY mean to be a badass and how we all can get there...without tattoos and motorcycles. BadasseryMag.com
