Season 3: Ep 4 - Building a Creative Legacy
Featuring Kathryn and Todd Ziegler of Iron Pirate Publishing
In this heartfelt and hilarious episode of Small Business Success Talk, Christy sits down with two of her favorite collaborators (and friends), Kathryn and Todd Ziegler—co-founders of Iron Pirate Publishing. From Broadway spotlights to a book born out of love for their daughter with autism, this duo blends creativity, resilience, and purpose into everything they touch.
Get ready for a deep dive into how Iron Pirate evolved from a single Kickstarter campaign into a full-blown publishing, production, and education company. They talk about making bold moves, learning to listen (even when it’s hard), and what true success feels like—peace, purpose, and meaningful connection.
You’ll laugh, you’ll tear up, and you’ll walk away inspired to finish that “thing” on your heart. Whether you’re a fellow creative, an entrepreneur, or somewhere in between—this one’s for you.
