I’ve been waiting literally years to bring you this series and I could not be more excited!!!
In this episode I tell the up and down story of my career path and the biggest lessons I learned along the way.
This is my ‘keynote’ talk that I have been developing over the past few years and I am so glad it’s now ready to share with you!
The Creative Career Path Series is my 7 step plan for making intentional systematic progress in your creative career. This process is years in the making, from studying the patterns of consistently successful creatives and my own experiments and experiences.

February 06, 2018 169 - Courage to Be You w/ Emmy Winner James Pearse Connelly, Production Designer on The Voice
The further you go in your career, the easier it is to get stage freight. Whether it’s a your first conference call, a call with the creative team at Apple, or standing face to face with Adam Levine, you are going to encounter intimidating situations. And yet, you will only do your best work if you can show up in the moment unafraid of voicing your ideas and true opinions.
Today we have a super special guest, Emmy award winning James Pearse Connelly, production designer for shows like The Voice. James has worked with a myriad of superstars ranging from Billy Nye to Snoop Dogg(!). In this episode we dive into his journey of finding his people, his place in the world and how he’s developed courage to bring his real ideas to the table… even when it’s a table where Martha Stewart is sitting!

January 30, 2018 168 - The Power of Finding Your Audience
There are a million reasons we like to bury our heads in the sand and just get lost in our art, but if you want your creative business to consistently thrive for the long haul, we need to stay tuned to the culture, where our audience’s attention is and what people are responding to in our work.
Can you imagine any business completely ignoring their audience / the market and succeeding long term? Can you imagine a stock broker that didn’t follow the stock market? I believe that creative professionals are partially called to be like stock brokers in the stock exchange, but instead dealing in the currency of culture exchange.
Ryan Holiday calls this ‘Product Market Fit’ in his book Growth Hacker Marketing, and in this episode we do a deep dive into WHY ignorance about your industry and culture in general is a terrible strategy and how to stay-tuned-in in such a way that you develop and evolve with your audience.

January 23, 2018 167 - Exciting Social Media Ideas
It’s easy to want to give up on social media as a means to grow your creative business. With changing algorithms, fickle engagement and snail paced growth, it’s easy to feel like ‘what’s the point?’, right?
BUT THERE’S A HUGE BUT and here it is: the people who are crushing it in the creative world often credit their success to social media…
I don’t think there’s debating it, social media is important to our creative career… no matter how much we wish it wasn’t true.
In this episode we share 8 ways to rethink social media that lead to new excitement around this topic and strategy for making real progress.
