Maddie Kertay is the BadAss Quilter, who says that she's "always going to stand on the side of love, diversity, and blazing a path for more people to become fabric artists." On this AskPat 2.0 episode, Maddie and Pat chat about everything she's doing to spread her message and grow her community (The BadAss Quilters Society), and the many directions she could go next: growing the private community, a podcast, sponsorship, affiliate marketing, merchandise . . . When would be the best time to reopen her community to new members—before or after she launches her podcast? Should she hire a virtual assistant (VA)? What things could she, as the CEO (and self-proclaimed micromanager) trust a VA with? (Note: This episode contains mentions of the "A" word, in case little kids are around.)
