Today we are kicking off 2016 with the La Rousse Shoppe original podcast What's Your Secret: Conversations with Real Photographers, Designers, and Entrepreneurs. 

Our goal is to release a new episode each Tuesday (more on what to expect over in the introductory episode) and we have our very first guest, Katie Doherty, with us to share her story about doing a major career switcheroo.

In this episode you'll learn:

• How Katie quit her job as an elementary school teacher and transitioned into life as a photographer and founder of La Rousse Shoppe.
• How La Rousse Shoppe was built from scratch in December of 2014, including details on the platform we use to host our online store and where we source our products.
• Katie's secret for success and where she finds her biggest inspiration.
