E.135 How to be a Creative Channel in Your Business with Emily Thompson


Listen Later

Welcome back, Aligned Entrepreneurs! Today I was joined by the amazing Emily Thompson, co-founder and host of Being Boss, a resource, podcast, and community for creative entrepreneurs, and founder and CEO of Almanac Supply Co., a retail brand that makes and curates products that help people connect with nature. For over a decade Emily has worked closely with creatives to help them make money doing work they love, with a focus on building online business models and growing creative businesses. We spoke about what it means to be a ‘boss,’ how she grew her podcast, how to be a clear conduit for creativity to flow through you, and how you can manifest what you want by tapping into your feelings. She also opens up about how she dealt with burnout and the challenges and wins of running two businesses. Enjoy!
