Creative Pep Talk

If you don’t know what side quest to focus on next…

Or

You feel conflicted about where to channel your energy…

Or

You can’t seem to start or finish your next project…

This episode is for you!

I explore 4 - 6 frameworks for organizing your ideas and selecting which one to take action on.

This is a “CPT UNPLUGGED” episode, which means there’s no music or edits, it’s a yap session exploring where I am at right now and what’s helping me navigate this moment.

Hope it helps you as much as it helped me to record it!

Is Social Media Driving you crazy?

Do you feel like your creative practice is off balance?

Do you need to rethink your creative strategy or embrace strategic thinking for the first time?

If any of those ring true, this episode is for you!

This episode is me being interviewed by Amelia Hruby on her podcast Off the Grid

Off the Grid is for creatives trying to succeed without social media - and I had such a blast and we talked about so many interesting things I decided to share it here!

We talk about my income streams, what having creative strategy looks like, why bad projects are necessary, and what you need if you’re trying to shift some of your creative strategy off social media.
