In this episode of The Entrepreneur’s Blueprint, I sit down with Polly Payne, founder and CEO of Horacio Printing and creator of Print School. What started as a side hustle making a Christian-based planner in 2014 has now grown into a thriving business that serves thousands of dreamers.

Polly shares how she went from working in ad tech in New York City to building Horacio Printing, a luxury paper goods company known for its Dream Planner, Bible studies, and journals. She also opens up about the heart behind Print School, where she empowers others to bring their own paper product ideas—like devotionals, planners, and journals—into the world.

We talk about the challenges of those early days, the evolution of her printing process, the importance of community over competition, and what it looks like to combine faith and business. Polly’s story is a powerful reminder that you can do hard things, that failures are just data points, and that our creativity is part of how we live out our purpose.

1. How a book and a planner sparked Polly’s idea for Horacio Printing
