Continuing on with our Open Conversations series we speak to Murray Crane of Crane Brothers about how he is coping in the face of adversity. There is a common theme throughout these conversations of resilience and survival. Our wedding community is tough and adapting quickly to what is happening. Although we don’t have a clear path of what is to happen over the coming months, we do feel a strong sense of community and hope for the future. Speaking with Murray has helped to cement these feelings.

Jordan Rondel the fonder of cult cake brand The Caker and long time friend of Together Journal chatted with us today about what she is doing and how she is feeling in light of the recent COVID-19 outbreak. Jordan is currently based in Los Angelas and her business operates both in America and New Zealand.

We hope that by having these honest conversations with brands and people we admire that it will bring our community closer together, help people relate to one another and inspire people to think of new ideas in these challenging times.

As part of the Open Conversations series, we started this week to shine a light of positivity on the industry we talk to Rebecca Anderson, the founder of Chaos & Harmony Shoes. We asked Rebecca how they are operating and feeling in this new COVID-19 environment that we have so suddenly found ourselves in. Creating these features has been both comforting and inspiring for us here at Together Journal and we hope that you too will also connect with these open and honest conversations with industry leaders.
