What’s the real difference between work and labor—and why does it matter more than ever in the age of AI?

Explore the intersection of work, labor, and emerging technologies. Drawing from James Suzman’s book Work, Scott unpacks how purposeful energy creates meaning, how repetitive labor is shifting toward automation, and how solopreneurs can choose work that matters—the kind that aligns with who you are, what you’re good at, and where you belong.

In this episode you’ll learn:

* A clear, usable definition of work versus labor

* Why AI will eliminate much of task-oriented labor (and why that’s good news)

* The danger of outsourcing the very craft you want to master

* A compass for finding “work that matters”: identity, ability, and belonging

* Why voicing your values publicly attracts the people you’re meant to serve

Resources Mentioned:

* James Suzman’s Work

Podcast Episode: Constraints vs. Bottlenecks — What’s Really Holding Your Business Back

Most solopreneurs waste precious energy trying to run their business the way “big brands” do—with funnels, avatars, and endless content grind. In this pop-up episode of Creative on Purpose Live, Scott Perry reframes how to think about constraints and bottlenecks so you can reclaim time, focus on what actually moves the needle, and build a business that funds and fits your life.

You’ll discover:

* Why constraints (time, attention, money, energy, identity, reputation) aren’t bad—they’re the non-negotiable limits that shape reality.

* How to identify bottlenecks (solvable choke points) and decide whether to eliminate, relieve, or redesign around them.

* The danger of false dependencies—websites, funnels, launches—that complicate instead of clarify.

* Why raising the floor on weak system components beats pushing the ceiling on what already works.

* How conversation-led client attraction can outperform the best funnel—without ads or grind.

Most solopreneurs are taught to chase clients with funnels, power offers, and ad spend. Those tactics can generate revenue—but too often they leave you drained, disconnected, and working with people who aren’t a great fit.

In this episode, I take you behind the scenes to show you how I rebuilt my business around clarity and connection. You’ll hear the exact principle-based system I use to consistently attract and enroll perfect-fit clients through aligned offers, resonant content, and purpose-driven conversations.

Here’s what you’ll discover:

* Why hitting your revenue goals can still leave you unfulfilled

* How the Clarity Hierarchy flips conventional marketing on its head

* The three pillars of the Purpose-Driven Prosperity Model

* What a Forever Offer really is (and why it’s not a “power offer”)

* Why webs are stickier than funnels

* The fastest path to cash—and why it’s always conversation

This isn’t about pressure, persuasion, or playing someone else’s game. It’s about building a business that fits and funds the life you really want by serving the people you’re truly meant to help.

In this episode of Creative OnPurpose Live, Scott explores the heart of meaningful creative work—where art meets audience, and every act of creation becomes an opportunity to serve with intention and integrity.
