Amy Stone Host

Amy Stone is a media entrepreneur, storyteller, and founder of The Art of Imperfect Adulting - a growing media platform featuring long-form interviews that explore the messy, non-linear reality of building a life.

Amy is a journalism graduate who started her career as a freelance newspaper photographer. Driven by the desire to be able to pay her bills she took a job in marketing and later client service at a tech startup in the late '90s before building multiple businesses of her own - including an award-winning Family portrait studio she ran for 8 years. After closing the studio and moving through fitness and Lifestyle Coaching, she realized the work that mattered most wasn't offering her own expertise - it was creating a space where real people share real stories about the everyday choices that shape a life.
