August 14, 2018 195 - A Super Underused Tactic for Career Growth (Side Quest Series Pt 4)
It's funny that with the internet we've never been more connected, and yet also never been more tempted to isolate ourselves!
In my experience, you can not build a thriving creative career or a powerful creative side quest without OTHER PEOPLE! You've got to get other people embedded into your personal projects to take them to the next level.
In this episode I will give you several tactics for involving collaborators in your side quest and why it makes all the difference.

August 07, 2018 194 - How to Make Work that Spreads (Side Quest Series Pt 3)
It's hard to get into art when it's being shoved down your throat.
So, how do you get your work in front of new fans, customers or clients without directly smashing it into people's faces?
You engineer organic growth. You make work that people want to voluntarily share. In this episode I share everything I've learned about doing just that.

July 31, 2018 193 - How to Win Dream Opportunities (Side Quest Series Pt 2)
It's noisy and no one wants to be sold anything anymore. No company is looking for new untapped talent, they just seem to sit back and wait for the "best" to rise to the top of the internet.
In this climate, how is a creative person supposed to break into a new market or win a new dream opportunity? Are we just at the mercy of people discovering us? Or can we actively make stuff happen in our creative careers?
In this episode, I want to share a strategy for developing work that can tackle these tough problems, and give you an edge for breaking through into your dream opportunities.
