Katrina is joined by her MACT colleagues, documentary filmmaker Aretha Greatrix and branding expert, Carina Ludgate to talk about how they balanced running a business with the demands of a master’s program. 

We talk about…

• what compelled Aretha and Carina to launch their businesses
• getting over the “illusion of a stable job” and why a 9-5 job isn’t for them
• the joys and challenges of doing creative work
• how to manage your life with inconsistent income streams
• how they balanced client and school deadlines and when to say “no” to a project
• why they went back to school and what they hope to achieve with this degree
• our 2nd Spring Institute compared to the first one
• framing a research project for a master’s degree

I’m proud to be a member of the Alberta Podcast Network, powered by ATB Financial. Special thanks to our sponsors NorQuest College.
