Raw + Rising: Makayla McIntosh
In this episode of Raw + Rising, we go deep with Makayla McIntosh-actor, producer, and founder of not one, but two creative companies. From children's entertainment to indie film production, Makayla's journey is a masterclass in creative self-sufficiency. She shares how a birthday party side hustle turned into a 14-year business, how a serious accident forced a hard career pivot, and why producing your own work is often the fastest route to real opportunity.
This is a candid, no-BS conversation about entrepreneurship, self-starting, and the hidden emotional toll of "doing it all." Makayla doesn’t sugarcoat the challenges, but she also offers a blueprint for taking control of your career, one gut-check decision at a time. If you’ve ever wondered how to turn “I should do this” into “I built this,” this one’s for you.
