January 26 CREATE:gathering

Today's show asks the question: Why aren't there more women in the creative world? Although this is an extremely complicated question, we are joined by Aubrey Henke, Jenny Julia Faiella and Lauren Rudichuk, who offer their insight into the topic. Each of these women work professionally in the creative world and they discuss the challenges women face in getting their voice heard, being judged for their ideas and their own inherent insecurities that arise in this industry. 

 

This episode was recorded on location at Wheelhouse Creative.

There is a stigma that follows some creatives. That stigma is being unorganized. In this episode, Jayson will discuss committing yourself to organization. By being organized, we can feel less stress, have more time doing the things we love and finish work that is better than anything we have produced before.
