Creative Entrepreneur: A Podcast For Business Growth and Trending News

Secure your Spot For Cre8tive Con Orlando x PodFest x BookThinkers

Content, content, content. Is anyone else exhausted? On this episode of The Creative Entrepreneur Podcast, co-hosts Julie Lokun, JD, and Dominick Domasky take opposite sides of the content debate. Julie believes in the power of content but hates that being an entrepreneur has turned into running a full-time content factory. Dom breathes it, lives it, and probably dreams in algorithms.

The spark? Learning that Gary Vaynerchuk posts roughly 900 pieces of content a day across his businesses. Not nine. Not 90. Nine hundred. Julie and Dom unpack what that means for the average entrepreneur without a camera crew, why “document, don’t create” is the shortcut most people miss, and how to tell the difference between content that builds a business and content that just builds vanity metrics.

Along the way: a motorcycle ride to Wisconsin, kids who demand “take that down, Mom,” the surprising truth about personal posts on LinkedIn, and a landscaping-business story from Dom’s dad that might be the best marketing lesson you hear all year.

FAQs

How much content do entrepreneurs really need to post?
Not 900 pieces a day. Julie and Dom agree that consistency and strategy beat volume. Start with what you have, focus on where your audience lives, and repurpose long-form content into shorter pieces instead of creating from scratch every day.

What is the PIES content framework?
PIES is Dominick Domasky’s weekly content plan: Promote, Inspire, Engage, and Sometimes Sell. It gives you a simple structure so you never sit down on a Friday wondering what to post.

What does “document, don’t create” mean?
Instead of producing a polished show, you share what’s already happening in your business: recording a podcast, mailing books, heading into a client meeting. It’s faster, more authentic, and builds trust.

Should entrepreneurs post personal content?
Yes, when it’s on-brand and on the right platform. Personal posts show people you’re real, which builds trust and relationships. Julie has found that personal posts often get more attention on LinkedIn than static business posts. (Just check with your kids first.)

What’s the best content strategy if I only have 30 minutes a day?
Plan your week ahead, turn long-form content like podcasts and interviews into short clips and blogs, and reshare posts that got engagement before.

Where can I meet the hosts of The Creative Entrepreneur Podcast in person?
Julie Lokun and Dominick Domasky are hosting Cre8tive Con OTR in Orlando on January 14, 2027, alongside PodFest and BookThinkers. They also host the flagship Cre8tive Con conference in Chicago.

Before she had a microphone, a law degree, or a single listener, Julie Lokun, JD had a shag carpet and a shoebox full of Barbies. And that girl on the floor wasn’t just playing. She was producing.

In this solo episode of The Creative Entrepreneur Podcast, Julie, founder of The Mediacasters and co-founder of Cre8tive Con, takes you back to where her creative engine started. The Dreamhouse was never enough, so she expanded the empire: the bookshelf became a high-rise, the jewelry box became the nightclub, and the bathtub became Malibu. Every doll had a backstory. Ken was the supporting character. And the storylines ran for days, cliffhangers included. That was her first serialized show.

Julie breaks down how imaginative play is a safe place to be ambitious, and how her Barbie gave closing arguments to a jury of stuffed animals and anchored the evening news into a hairbrush mic. Lawyer, journalist, host. She wasn’t daydreaming. She was rehearsing.

She also covers the tinfoil gown theory of entrepreneurship: you don’t wait for the perfect set. You build it with what’s in the room. That’s the same energy behind launching her first podcast from a closet with a blanket and one well-researched mic.

If you’ve lost touch with the joy of making things up, this episode is your permission slip to go back to the carpet.

What You’ll Learn

Why world-building is brand-building, and how a podcast or business works like a Dreamhouse with rules, characters, and a vibe

How imaginative play builds the skills creative entrepreneurs use every day: storytelling, casting, directing, and audience awareness

Why scrappy resourcefulness (sock dresses, tinfoil gowns, Tupperware-lid pools) is the foundation of every bootstrapped launch

How “owning your ecosystem, not renting your audience” started with deciding the bathtub was Malibu, no permission required

Why changing careers every week was normal in Barbie Land, and why pivoting from lawyer to journalist to podcaster to founder isn’t flaky

How adults unlearn creative freedom through deadlines, algorithms, and comparison, and how to get it back

Memorable Moments

“Barbie did not make me pretty. Barbie made me a creative.”

“I wasn’t daydreaming, I was rehearsing.”

“Adults schedule brainstorms. Kids just go.”

“World-building is brand building.”

“Lawyer to journalist, journalist to podcaster, podcaster to founder. That’s just a new outfit in Barbie Land.”

Your Challenge

What did you play with for hours? Legos, chalk, dolls, a backyard kingdom? It’s a clue to the creator you already are. Tell Julie what toy made you a creative. Drop it in the comments or DM her. She wants your origin story.

Start with what you have. Julie launched her first podcast from a closet with a blanket for sound dampening and one well-researched microphone. Resourcefulness beats perfection.

Episode Summary

Lights low, doors locked. This Halloween, Julie Lokun and Dominick Domasky sit down with Karen Conti, veteran Chicago trial attorney, longtime host of The Karen Conti Show on WGN Radio 720, and award-winning author of Killing Time with John Wayne Gacy: Defending America’s Most Evil Serial Killer on Death Row.

Karen served on the final death row defense team for John Wayne Gacy, the “Killer Clown” who murdered 33 young men and boys and buried most of them beneath his Chicago-area home. She opens up about meeting Gacy in lockup, why a sociopath can mask his sickness so well, why she fought his execution despite his guilt, and how the death threats she received eventually turned into a national media career on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and WGN.

Then the conversation turns to business. Karen shares how she controlled her narrative, why being “camera ready” is non-negotiable, how to pitch yourself to producers who have fewer staff than ever, and why likability and networking beat raw talent.

Plus, a spooky-season edition of Jules’s Rules: the most infamous serial killers of all time, from Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy to Ed Kemper, Ed Gein, the Green River Killer, and Karen’s top pick, Jack the Ripper.

What You’ll Learn

How Karen ended up on John Wayne Gacy’s death row defense team

Why sociopaths and narcissists are so good at masking, and what Gacy was really like in person

How to turn a controversial association into a career-defining spotlight

What “camera ready” means, and the go-kit Karen keeps in her office, car, and home

How to find your media lane and become a producer’s go-to expert

Using AI to prepare for interviews (and why you still need to vet it)

Why you should watch every media appearance back, even when it’s painful

Why networking and likability open more doors than talent alone

️ Quotes From the Episode

“Stretch your abilities, have confidence, and then work hard to prove that you can do what you say you’re going to do.” — Karen Conti

“If you want people to help you, help them first. Be invaluable to them. Be the go-to person for your lane.” — Karen Conti

“My father always told me, ‘I can’t make people laugh unless they like me.’” — Karen Conti

Turn Your Passion Into a Podcast Empire with Joe Stuber of Comic Book Central

What do Gary Vee, Jim Kwik, and Stan Lee have in common? They’re all comic book fans, and so is today’s guest. On this episode of The Creative Entrepreneur Podcast, hosts Julie Lokun and Dominick Domasky sit down with Joe Stuber, Emmy award-winning writer, producer, and host of Comic Book Central. He started as a small-town TV photojournalist whose first-ever interview was Charlton Heston. In 2013 he bet on his obsession and launched the world’s first podcast devoted entirely to interviews with the talent behind comic book adaptations. More than 600 guests later, his list includes Stan Lee, Mark Hamill, William Shatner, Whoopi Goldberg, Henry Winkler, and Jane Seymour.

Joe explains how nostalgia, storytelling, and niche passion become a business asset. He covers the “patience and perseverance” method for booking A-list guests, why most shows quit before episode 12, and how he uses AI to handle the grind: chapters, descriptions, SEO, and thumbnails. There’s also a full-on Yinzer detour, and Michael Keaton gets crowned the best Batman.

In this episode you’ll learn

How to turn a personal passion into a niche podcast brand

The “keep bugging them” strategy for landing celebrity podcast guests (some took Joe 10 years)

What podfade is and why most podcasts quit after 8–12 episodes

Why you have to invest strategically in your brand, from guest-contact services to paid social

How Joe launched with a $0 setup: a Rock Band microphone, GarageBand, and a kitchen-strainer pop filter

How to use AI as a tool, not a replacement, for YouTube chapters, SEO descriptions, and thumbnails

Why Comic Book Central has been called “the Inside the Actors Studio of comic books”

How to add your own voice to an existing fandom instead of copying what’s already out there

Episode highlights

Charlton Heston, Stan Lee, and the guest list that opened every door

Comic Book Central’s origin story, which started with a suggestion from Joe’s wife

What a Yinzer is (and why “gum bands” are rubber bands)

Repurposing a podcast for YouTube: 60-second clips and the daily content grind

AI art, comic conventions, and where creators draw the line

Jules Rules: favorite superheroes (Superman, Indiana Jones, and Pittsburgh’s own Michael Keaton as Batman)

Key quote

“Just do it because you want to do it, not because you think you’re gonna be the next Joe Rogan.” — Joe Stuber

Cre8tive Con OTR Orlando with BookThinkers ft. Nick Hutchison | January 14–17, 2027- www.cre8tiveconotr.com
Why Most Entrepreneurs Fail to Scale

The Benjamin Hardy Effect: Are You 2x-ing or Just Staying Busy?

In our latest episode of the Creative Entrepreneur Podcast, Julie Lokun and Dom Domasky break down the psychological barriers to success. Using the framework established by Dr. Benjamin Hardy, we explore why the "safety net" you’ve built is actually a trap. If you are a business owner in the Boston area, it’s time to stop managing time and start managing your future.

The Science of Scaling suggests that if you want to reach a goal in 10 years, you should ask yourself why you can’t do it in six months. Dr. Benjamin Hardy emphasizes that "10x is easier than 2x," and on this episode, we apply that brutal honesty to our own businesses.

Local Spotlight: Cre8tive Con Boston (July 13th)

Why does location matter? Because proximity is power. We are bringing the heat to Boston, Massachusetts, for Cre8tive Con.


Location: Boston, MA


Date: July 13th


Register: www.cre8tiveconotr.com

Are you ready to burn the safety net? Register for Cre8tive Con Boston Here

Are you busy, or are you actually moving the needle? Today, we’re calling out the "safety net" mentality that keeps entrepreneurs stuck in mediocrity. We discuss why a full calendar is often a mask for avoiding the one bold move that changes everything.


The Dr. Benjamin Hardy Philosophy: We explore the concepts found in the work of Dr. Benjamin Hardy, specifically focusing on how to shorten your 10-year goals into 90-day sprints by raising your standards and narrowing your focus.


Dropping the Floor: Why having a "fallback plan" is actually holding your business back. To reach the next level, you have to remove the option to fail.


The Art of "No": Dom opens up about the struggle of being "too nice" and how unsolicited manuscripts and non-serious leads are the ultimate time-wasters.


Peak Energy vs. Time Management: Why Julie believes color-coding your calendar is a crutch. We break down energy management for parents and busy professionals.


Automation with Keap: How we are using Keap to eliminate manual tasks and maintain flow without the social media "time suck."

Key Takeaways from Dr. Benjamin Hardy

We are currently studying Dr. Benjamin Hardy’s principles on scaling and 10x growth. One of the biggest shifts we’ve made is realizing that Dr. Benjamin Hardy is right: you don't need more time; you need more skin in the game. By applying the "Science of Scaling," we are learning to stop the "inch-by-inch" growth and start taking exponential leaps.
