   Becky Fos: Betting on Yourself, Defying the Odds, and Building an Art Empire

   What does it genuinely take to abandon practical safety, endure relentless rejection, and build a world-renowned creative brand entirely on your own terms? In this episode of the No Quit Podcast, Jeff sits down with celebrated New Orleans artist Becky Fos to trace her remarkable evolution from early career doubts to owning her permanent flagship gallery on Magazine Street. Becky pulls back the curtain on the sacrifices of her early years, detailing the creative burnout of balancing motherhood with wedding hairstyling and grinding through grueling years of court reporting school. Facing the immense pressure of state licensing exams, she turned back to painting simply as a stress-relief outlet, armed with nothing more than a 40-percent-off coupon at Michael's and basic high school techniques. Everything changed when a pink and purple cow painting created for her son Jude caught the attention of New Orleans art icon Terrance Osborne. With guidance and encouragement from Terrance and his wife Stephanie, Becky began putting her work out into the world. That momentum quickly led to a high-stakes crossroads: an exclusive gallery offer on historic Royal Street. Rather than surrendering control of her work to restrictive contracts that demanded half of everything she painted, Becky walked away, picked up her artwork off the sidewalk, and took a massive financial leap to open her very own gallery on Magazine Street in the heart of NOLA. Throughout this deep-dive conversation, Becky breaks down the operational discipline behind her vibrant, emotion-driven work. She discusses running a multi-faceted business, managing city taxes and water bills, training through intense CrossFit sessions and marathon mileage, and executing custom commissions where clients collaborate closely on sketches and color palettes. She also reflects on expanding into high-profile markets like Manhattan's SoHo district and Florida, while maintaining the grounded, optimistic philosophy she recently shared with students at St. Dominic School: never erase your mistakes, lean into what makes you different, and share your God-given gifts with a world in need of joy. 🎨 Connect with Becky Fos:Website & Gallery: https://beckyfos.comFollow Becky on Instagram: @beckyfos 🔔 Subscribe & Follow the No Quit Podcast for weekly long-form discussions with entrepreneurs, creatives, and leaders navigating high-stakes business and personal reinvention. 💭 Leave a comment sharing the biggest risk you have ever taken on yourself, or which chapter of Becky's journey resonated most with your own goals.

   Lawyer by Day, Restaurant Owner by Night: The Story of Miss Shirley’s | Carling Lee

   What happens when you trade misdemeanor court and real estate closings for woks, dumplings, and working alongside traditional parents? This week we're talking with Carling Lee, co-founder of New Orleans hotspot Miss Shirley’s on Magazine Street, as she joins the show to break down her wildly unconventional path. Carling spent her childhood washing glasses on top of soy sauce buckets, worked her way through law school, handled cases in the DA’s office, and thrived in the fast-paced world of title law. But when her parents sold their 44-year family restaurant, she felt the pull back to the hospitality world she tried to outrun. Now, four years into running Miss Shirley's, Carling opens up about the raw reality of operating a culinary sensation: 🥢 Running from parish court straight into the dining room to bus tables in heels 🥢 The culture shock of going from restaurant hustle to sitting still in law school 🥢 How to balance traditional family hierarchy with modern business strategy (and why "letting ideas fail" works) 🥢 Streamlining massive menus into rotating specials to keep food fresh and chefs sane 🥢 The power of strong networks and the behind-the-scenes women reshaping city landscapes If you’ve ever felt torn between a safe corporate track and a family passion—or tried to convince stubborn parents to see your point of view—this conversation is for you. 💭 Drop a comment: What’s the hardest part of working with family?
