Let The Good Talk Roll

This podcast, as a collection of interviews, brings to light the original — and sometimes unorthodox — professional trajectories of selected artists and entrepreneurs. Based out of New Orleans, and hosted by Natalie Steuer, Let The Good Talk Roll will feature individuals whose lives and careers reflect an undeniable appreciation for beauty and business. However, beyond aesthetics and success, my appreciation is largely for the fortitude and follow-through which led them each to where they are today.

MUTTS: A Celebration of Mystery Mixed Breeds, speaks to any animal lover but specifically aims to warm hearts to rescue pups and raise awareness for their lovability -- and their dire need for adoption.

Creating and publishing MUTTS the book is only Olivia Grey Pritchard’s latest accomplishment but it is an incredibly cute one.

Olivia’s greatest loves are children, pets, and photography so she created a business where she can work with all three! Olivia Grey Pritchard Photography is an award-winning luxury family and pet portrait studio here in New Orleans. Olivia also provides education for working photographers, is the New Orleans Area Coordinator (and an affiliated photographer) for the international nonprofit Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep, and is the Regional Teaching Artist for Pablove Shutterbugs, a photography workshop for children living with cancer. A real humanitarian at heart, Olivia began her studio after working as a photographer and consultant for the United Nations in Burundi and Chad, and then as Advocacy and Communication Adviser for a nonprofit in eastern Congo.

I think Olivia’s background is supremely interesting and provides additional context for the making of MUTTS. The book contains over 100 adorable mutts and every photograph is accompanied by the pup’s name and best guess of breed mix -- as well as one fun fact about them.
