Today we are excited to share the origin story of Mr. Cookie aka Michael Cook.

Michael is an artist and tech entrepreneur seeking to empower freelancers and creators to better leverage their networks and relationships in a world shifting into a gig economy.

In this conversation, Michael shares with us how an early internship shaped how he thinks about marketing, building relationships with others, how the recession inspired him to build a tech company, how to enroll people in a creative vision, and the need to be a creative problem-solver.

This is conversation that is a must-listen for any creative who needs help with the business side of creativity.
