Artist and creative strategist Mike Brennan opens up about the journey of building a business that aligns with who you are, even as that changes over time. He shares powerful insights about avoiding creative burnout, finding fulfillment outside of client work, and giving yourself permission to evolve.

Key Takeaways
  • Give yourself permission to evolve - what worked for you years ago might not be what's right for you now
  • Have creative outlets separate from your paid work to avoid burnout and keep your passion alive
  • Focus on building a business that aligns with who you are today, not who you used to be

Quotes

"We're not these segmented beings like we like to say - I'm at work and I'm at home, I'm playing and I'm doing client work. Recognizing that and embracing that is key for having a healthier creative balance in our lives." - Mike Brennan

"Don't try to emulate somebody else's journey... do the best with what you have before you. That's why I come back to listening to yourself, getting alignment, getting clarity because you're the only one who's responsible for you." - Mike Brennan
