In this exciting episode of "Adventures In Design," hosted by Mark Brickey, we welcome a special guest, Mark's longtime friend and co-founder of La Honda Records, Connie Collingsworth. Tune in to discover the inspiring journey of a rock poster legend who transitioned into the music industry. In the first segment, Mark celebrates Connie's triumph as an album she designed for an artist she helped break finds its place in the prestigious heart of downtown Nashville, with none other than Post Malone himself showing support by sporting their T-shirts. It's a testament to dreams coming true and genuine happiness for a friend's success.

Segment two explores the unexpected parallels between being an NFL quarterback and the life of a designer. Mark and Connie share insights on how these seemingly different roles share common threads of strategy, teamwork, and creativity.

Lastly, as one of the toughest women in the industry, Connie lends her unique perspective in the final segment, discussing the buzzworthy Barbie movie. Join us for a captivating conversation that delves into dreams realized, the art of design, and an intriguing take on a cultural phenomenon.

In this episode, we delve into the dynamic world of diversifying your freelance career through the lens of Sean Mort. Sean, a seasoned freelancer, brings a fascinating mix of creative endeavors to the table, which not only keeps his freelance career diverse but also taps into his various creative moods.

As we chat with Sean, we uncover the trifecta of his freelance world: a design studio, a clothing company, and an art fair. Each of these ventures contributes its unique flavor to his professional journey. His design studio allows him to flex his creative muscles on client projects, his clothing company lets him explore fashion and branding, and his art fair provides a platform for artists to shine.

However, it's Sean's newest venture, a sticker business, that's been turning heads and opening wallets. With its rapid growth and impressive financial returns for a relatively modest time investment, it's a prime example of how diversifying your income streams can lead to unexpected success.

Join us as we unpack the strategies, challenges, and triumphs of Sean's multifaceted freelance career. Learn how embracing diversity in your freelance endeavors can not only provide financial stability but also cater to your ever-evolving creative passions. If you're looking for inspiration on how to harness the power of multiple income streams, this episode is a must-listen.
