HONESTLY, IDK

They say creative people can be very emotional beings, but we barely ever speak about our emotions with others no matter what we're going through. We'd rather get to work to try and forget about it. But is this helpful? if not, how can we do our best to get ourselves out of these emotional lows, creative blocks, etc. We explore this and more on this episode of the podcast with Miss Tsetsewaa Yawson, a very good friend, confidante and advisor sometimes. lol. Everybody, meet everybody's official hypewoman. Share with your friends if you find it helpful, and take some notes for yourself. Enjoy!

Equity, equity, equity, what the hell is it? we hear all these techies and entrepreneurs throwing this term about all the time. Do we understand it? how do we build it? how can it benefit us? why should we care about it? we explore these questions and more in this episode where we discuss how we can level up our skills and build more value as creative people who obviously want to make money doing what we love the most. If you're a creative person, and you love making money doing what you love doing, this one's for you. Take some notes, share with a friend and come back for more.

Why do you do what you do? who at all are you? why the heck do you exist in this life at all? don't have answers to these questions? don't worry, we really don't as well. In this episode, we try to look within ourselves to try to fish out some answers to these questions and we did make some pretty interesting self-discoveries. It was helpful for me, I hope it helps you at least start your journey to answer these questions too. Share with a friend if you do find it helpful. :)

Creativity is an art that requires us to keep thinking outside the box, being unorthodox at times, and feeling free all the time while staying productive and staying alive as a business. In this episode, we discuss some experiences we've had, working with and managing junior creatives. Managing creative people is unexpectedly one of the hardest things we've had to learn, even though we are creative people ourselves. lol Shoutouts to all the creative directors and project managers out there.

Today we turn the lens inward to ourselves; myself and my Co-Founder, to discuss our journey leading up to the moment we decided to start an agency together and how our lives have changed since we began. It's a little heart to heart that hopefully leaves a lot of gems for people to learn from. We hope you enjoy this episode, Kindly leave a rating, and share with your friends!

A continuation of the conversation we had about building and running teams. What to do when things get awkward in the workspace? we've been there, and this is how we dealt with it. Emotional topics can be stressful to discuss in the workplace so we'd rather compartmentalize till it's too late and we blow up in people's faces. Are you leading your peers? that can get awkward as well. We hope this conversation is helpful to you. And as always, don't forget to take notes and share with your friends and team members

In this episode of honestly not knowing anything, we have Mr Eldad Nutakor with us talking about how he's been able to build a killer team over at his company (Qodehub) as a design team lead. He's been doing this for a couple of years now so we can take his word for it lol. We take a deep dive into how to hire, how to possibly fire, how to even know who to hire and how to get the team to move the business from A to whichever letter you want to get to. As usual, enoy the conversation, leave a review, share your thoughts online and share this podcast as well. Cheers!

PS: This was originally meant to be the second episode but we rearranged things last minute.

This podcast is all about learning and growing together as creatives in an ever-growing business world. We know nothing, which is why we seek more knowledge every day. The aim is not to 'teach' but to learn and grow with the community by sharing our experiences.

Cleopas is a very good friend of mine and a super dope creative designer, videographer, youtuber, art director, among many other things. He's a creative powerhouse running a creative powerhouse called VOME. In this episode, we discuss the importance of building a network of ONLY QUALITY PEOPLE because one of the things more important than the ability to do good work is the network you find yourself in. We dive into how we've been able to build networks of our own on the client-side and on the peer side as well, and how that has helped our career.
