On this episode I'm chatting with Montreal video producer, xcephasx https://xcephasx.com/ Cephas describes himself as a business man first - and an artist second... which i think is great because we need more business minded creatives as far as I'm concerned! So today we're talking business systems and animaniacs? Cephas talks to me about pushing it so that people feel it, how he never wanted to grow up and how art is exciting but so is seeing the money deposited in your bank account! it's a really fun chat this week, you are going to love it! www.creativepeople-podcast.com…

Today's guest is Carina Gardner, a designer and coach who is all about helping creatives make money with their work. https://www.carinagardnercourses.com/ Carina contacted me about being on the podcast - for a podcast switch actually. Now, I often say no to those types of things and it's not that I'm unfriendly, all though I can be. It's just that most of time with the podcast I follow my gut to find guests, but this time I felt like I should yes and I'm glad that I did. Money isn't something I've focused a lot on with the podcast, for good reason, I've never really been good with it. But I do want to change that so todays conversation was pretty interesting especially because I recently decided that I didn't care if I ever made money with my creativity. Carina did show me that, maybe it doesn't need to be so black and white. Regardless of money or the lack there of Carina has some excellent, practical, mindset shifting tips. It's a great convo - you will enjoy it www.creativepeople-podcast.com…
