This week, Melissa and Heather do a brief recap of what they did in their creative businesses in 2023 and what they are focusing on for 2024. But at the heart of the episode we get into the trends we're paying attention to in our creative businesses - including a very frank (and possibly surprising?) discussion about generative AI and how we feel about it. 2024 has the potential to be a huge year of change for a lot of working creatives - whether we like it or not!
This is a great episode for creatives who...
- like to hear about what others are working on in their creative businesses (because we're both nosy parkers lol)
- are wondering what they need to focus on or be aware of in 2024
- are feeling very nervous and unsettled by the use of AI
