JD Estrada is a poet and fiction author, but is also a professional translator of marketing materials into Spanish. We take a deep dive into the power of language, and how you go about translating into a different language, working with regional context, idioms, and dialects, and crossing the barriers of storytelling across languages. How do you change a language, but keep the message and the experience?

Happy New Year! 

For the last creating pro's of the year, I'm going to touch on some of what I learned from 2022, and the last few years, but also dive into setting goals and intentions for 2023. Often we look at New Years Day as that great chance to do a big reset, and commit to huge changes, ones that fall away within weeks, or even days. 

In this episode, I touch especially on the interviews with Alex Simmons and Joelle  Reizes. In both of these shows, we talked about the importance of creativity, and and facilitating it in our lives. As you go forth into 2023, it's not about picking one day and hanging all of your life changes on it. Make every day a day of change.

See you next year (you know I had to get the bad joke in).

Alex Simmons has written for numerous publishers, including Disney Books, Penguin Press, Simon and Schuster, Marvel, DC Comics, and Archie Comics, and is the creator of the Blackjack comics series.
