Episode 23: Show Notes.

Today’s guest loves cake, cats, and all things creative. Tina Eisen grew up in East Germany, where creative pursuits were stifled by the government, but this didn’t stop her mom from creating a home environment where arts and crafts could thrive. After school, Tina got a business degree and tried her hand working in the corporate world, but quickly realized that it wasn’t for her. Now, she runs a successful photography business (so successful that Canon asked her to give talks to inspire other non-professionally trained creatives to pick up a camera!) and for the past year has been making a name for herself in the NFT space. In today’s episode, you’ll hear about the moment that Tina decided she was going to start her own business, how she got her first paid job as a photographer 13 years ago, why she doesn’t set New Year’s resolutions (and what she does instead), her exciting new creative pursuit, and more!
