Episode 6 - How To Relax
April 22, 2020 17:48 - 11 minutes - 10.9 MBIn this episode I want to give you some tactics to help you relax. I know, scary word right? Especially for those of us that are just constantly working (I say this having just “finished” an 8 hour day and I’m jumping into more work!). Look, it’s really not easy to relax when you’re ambitious and you have so many ideas. There’s just no way that you can justify not working hard on everything! But in order to really move forward, you have to. I know this, I’m learning this, I’m still strugglin...

Episode 3 - How I Built My Creative Career
April 06, 2020 00:00 - 17 minutes - 16.3 MBEpisode 3 - How I Built My Creative Career Let me just start by saying that to this day, I still have no idea what I’m doing or how I’m going to do it. The thing about building a creative career, or any career, is that most of the time, it’s just guessing until you figure something out. Once you’ve figured the same things out a few times, it becomes much easier to grow your career, but there will never not be a time when a curve-ball is going to come at you hard and fast, when you least expe...

March 30, 2020 00:00 - 20 minutes - 18.6 MBEpisode 2 - How To Be Motivated Originally I wanted to write this post about different techniques to keep yourself focused on creative projects, not how to be motivated generally.
