Taking Five is the podcast for warm-hearted founders navigating the messy middle of business—where things are working, but you know they could work better. Hosted by Luz Perez Brown, operations strategist, designer, and founder of Willow and Jax, each episode features honest conversations with creative service providers who've made brave pivots, set boundaries, grown their businesses slow and steady, and learned to trust themselves along the way. You'll hear real stories about reinvention, sustainable growth, choosing the uncomfortable path, and what it really takes to build a business that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside. If you're ready to rethink the rules, slow down to speed up, and build with more intention, this is your invitation to take five.
