As Creatives Steven and John started out as musicians only wanting to have fun with their passion. Eventually, this led to spending time in studios and realizing they could probably do a better job than the person recording was a segue into their audio and video careers. Neither of them thought about their creative callings being something they could one day turn into a profitable business. In this episode, Steven and John discuss a book they wish they would have had a decade ago when they began their creative full-time journeys.

This is Part 1 of a 2 Part Series.
