The Long Game Podcast with Sandra Scaiano Soul Sisters Paranormal with Dr. Kristy Sumner EP 129
Building a robust multi-faceted business is no easy task, not even for the most seasoned entrepreneur. Creating a business that seamlessly incorporates all of your passions while providing a rewarding and fulfilling experience at the same time is the ultimate goal for many people building a business.
Dr. Kristy Sumner has successfully combined her passion for historical stories and paranormal into two businesses: Soul Sisters Paranormal, and The Historic Scott County Jail Museum.
The work that she does is totally fascinating to me, but maybe paranormal isn’t your jam and that’s okay. What stands out the most about Kristy is the way she’s created two businesses that flow so well together that allow her to live the life she finds most fulfilling.
“If you look at us, just from the outside, it looks like we have a very robust company, but it’s just the two of us.” -Dr. Kristy Sumner
Key areas we’re highlighting in this episode
- Kristy’s first overnight stay in a haunted penitentiary, developing passion and excitement
- Learning the technical skills it takes to produce the content they want to share
- How a collaboration turned into a reopening of a historical location with paranormal research
Martin Yan, a chef and food writer says, “when you enjoy what you do, work becomes play.” For Kristy, she’s allowed herself to lean into her passions for fun, play, and discovery in the presence of her friends. She’s turned a corporate background and life as a college professor into a life that is filled with excitement. The excitement of researching historical stories and investigating paranormal activity is one aspect of it, but she’s also leaning into solving problems and learning new skills that allow her to build something meaningful.
“We wanted to start out with a bang and really show people that we are legitimate in what we're doing.” -Dr. Kristy Sumner
