Burnout: How to Manage Your Mindset as a Creative Entrepreneur (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you've ever hit a wall in your business and immediately thought, 'I must be doing something wrong', this episode is for you. Burnout has a way of feeling like a personal failure. Like you didn't manage your time well enough, or you're just not cut out for the pressure of running a creative business. But that story isn't true, and it's not helping you. In this episode, we get honest about our own burnouts (the overwork, the income anxiety, the moments we lost touch with our own creative style)
The Odyssey: How Not to Focus (Gear vs. Craft in Christopher Nolan's Latest Film) (opens the original)

We came up through the light and bright era, and we leaned into it. Not blindly, but because that's part of how style discovery actually works. In this episode, we get honest about our own trend-following history,

Read excerpt
