The United Podcast

11 episodes - English - Latest episode: almost 3 years ago -

Being a creative entrepreneur is a path that takes courage to approach, faith to step into, wisdom to make decisions each day, and endurance to keep going. Creative entrepreneurs are resilient and hard working, but as any entrepreneur can tell you; the road is not for the faint of heart and often a lonely road to travel. But though it feels lonely at times, it's critical you understand that you are NOT alone! That's why we created the United Podcast.

Creatives spend a lot of time by themselves, so we wanted to create an avenue where we could gather with fellow creatives and hear from industry leaders who have traveled down the very roads you're probably walking now. These are candid conversations sharing both the inspiring success and intense struggle that running your own business can bring, along with insights to help you enjoy the highs and endure the lows.

You can expect to hear relevant stories and reliable education you can take action with to help grow and transform your business. Our hope is that these conversations not only change the trajectory of your work, but in turn, leave a mark that helps the trajectory of your life.
