In this special solo Christmas episode of Capital of Comics, Joel Rodriguez reflects on seven years of building Metal Ninja Studios and the lessons learned along the way.

From creative breakthroughs to hard-earned business realities, Joel shares how his understanding of creativity, entrepreneurship, and sustainable growth has evolved. He talks candidly about adaptation, resilience, and why long-term thinking matters more than chasing quick wins, especially in the creative industries, which are constantly changing.

This episode is part reflection, part recalibration, and an honest look at what it takes to grow as both a creator and a business owner while staying aligned with your core values.
