Kickstarter is a haven for creative types to receive funding for their projects. In a world where art and creativity tend to be viewed as a fruitless pursuit monetarily, Kickstarter changes all that.

In this episode, we're talking with an author that ran a campaign attempting to preserve J.R.R Tolkien's (writer of Lord of the Rings) house as a public writing space available to the public.

With an ambitious funding goal of almost $700,000, Project Northmoor was able to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars from over 2,500 backers.

If you're thinking about launching a creative project of your own, this interview will be super helpful for you.

Hope you enjoy the episode, my friends!

They thought he was dreaming... but then they saw his smash success on Kickstarter!

He launched a project for his A 3-in-1 baby cover that uses patent pending technology to block light, sound, rain and heat to keep your baby protected, safe and happy.

When it comes to crowdfunding in 2021, there is a ton of opportunity out there for you.

In this episode, I'm giving you all the insider secrets that you need to know to achieve your goals as an entrepreneur.

Every year, I have creators that come to me saying: Sal, I have so many great ideas, I can't wait to execute on all of them!

And then, when we check in again, they haven't done anything.

This is unfortunate, but it doesn't have to happen to you. It's time to get inspired and believe in your abilities so that you can bring all your creative visions to life!
