    Welcome to Round 9 of the Student Spotlight Special—a podcast series that highlights my 12-week coaching program students.

    This round features The Dream Team, AKA my Fall 2023 class of Mary Moegenburg, Marc Steir, and Joonie Kay.

    In a nutshell, consider this a Creative Business 101 Mastermind designed to help you take the next giant step of professionalism with your creative pursuits.

    Establishing a growth mindset is the primary focus as each student builds an indestructible foundation centered around habits, systems, routines, and self-promotion.

    In this episode, each student also shares the insane hurdles they've overcome in past years to tap into the incredible results they're experiencing today.

  • If you’re a consistent listener or a newbie to the podcast, you know that I’m currently on a 2-month break…

    This was supposed to be a quick little Bonus episode to update you on what to expect next…

    As I started writing, it ended up turning into a journal…

    NOT to explain to you why I’m taking this break…

    But more to work out how things got to this point, while also convincing myself it’s OK (and necessary) to hit pause and reset.

    It gives you a front-row seat in my head to understand how all this started as a passion project and the possibilities of what this could evolve into.

    Let’s dive in.

    Becoming Your Own Boss

    Two hurdles I hear consistently holding creatives back are the:

    Pursuit of perfection.Lack of motivation to make moves.

    When, in reality, we’re holding ourselves up with these internal conflicts that we can choose to sidestep at any time.

    The people you look up to often deal with these—yet they refuse to let them distract them from chasing what they want.

    Today’s guest, Elizabeth Gray of The Grayter Good, is living proof that finding success with your style is an ever-evolving process.

    She’s an absurdly talented lettering artist, muralist, and illustrator with a combined audience of 750K+ followers (IG + TikTok).

    Her biggest talent is showing herself in her content and in an incredibly entertaining, yet valuable way.

    She’s also the author of her upcoming book: The Happy Homebody: A Field Guide To The Great Indoors. (Which is all about empowering the introverted creative.)

    In today’s episode we talk shop on:

    Overcoming the inner perfectionism dialogue.Finding motivation within a routine.Finding style through constraints, experimentation, and more.

    The Goal: To provide a little insight on how to find your style and groove while setting yourself for breakthroughs along the way.

    I get hit up a lot with questions of, “How do I get started with my creative side hustle?”

    There’s no one-size-fits-all instruction manual— it requires a lot of patience, experimentation, failure, and figuring it out along the way.

    Hence the inspiration behind this 2 Part Series of How to Start & Scale Your Creative Side Hustle.

    Many of these tips are interchangeable and overlap within different seasons of your creative hustle—it’s not necessarily a linear progression of each 12 steps in a row.

    This is simply a framework to guide someone on a path that:

    Reduces the guesswork and boosts clarity and confidence.Provides balance and structure to leverage in the long-term.Creates work they love while establishing boundaries for self-care and relationships.

    Overall, take what applies to you as everyone’s path is unique.

    Becoming Your Own Boss

    The majority of people listening to the podcast aim to become their own boss one day.

    To do so takes years of failing, experimenting, developing systems, and finding what works.

    It’s not supposed to be easy—but the struggle is hella rewarding when things begin to click.

    Today’s guest—Jimmy Bryant of Atomic Child Design—is a nature-inspired artist/brand slanging millions in merch across the land.

    To say Jimmy’s story of “Washing dishes for $10/hour to becoming his own boss and making a killing off selling his work” is inspiring doesn’t do it justice.

    I think you’ll find it fascinating as well.

    In today’s episode we talk shop on:

    Not chasing profits right away.Operating with a chip on your shoulder.Creating what you love and finding your niche.Becoming your own bossSelling merch, slow scaling, and more.

    The Goal: To empower you with motivation and actionable steps for becoming your own boss one day.

    NFT Creative Side Hustles

    Whatever it is you want to pursue, a side hustle is a testing ground to make it happen.

    You never know when all your weird quirks, interests, passions, and strengths will overlap into something far bigger than you imagined.

    That seems to be the pattern with today’s guest—Peter Deltondo, Product Designer, Design Director, plus Partner with Unfold—a digital design agency crushing work for progressive industry-leading brands.

    Peter also happens to be a crypto nerd and NFT collector like I am too.

    It’s funny how these interests overlap with his work at Unfold and community-building through the Creative South Conference…

    To create a one-of-a-kind, super hyped, but zero-shill, upcoming NFT project called Dronies.

    In today’s episode we talk shop on:

    The secret to doing your best work.Leveraging side hustles to get to where you want to be.Breaking down how NFTs are changing the game.What is Web 3 and why you should care.The upcoming Dronies launch, crypto, and more.

    The Goal: To show you how to take control of your future by combining passions and interests through the power of side hustles.

    Creating Your 1st NFT Collection

    NFTs seem to be the rage these days…

    I’m more experienced as a collector, and I’m obsessively learning and studying how others navigate their launches and collections to plan my NFT attack.

    This is why I bring talented creators on the show who have found success in this space and are more qualified to speak on this topic.

    Hence bringing back–for the third time–my brother, Eric “Efdot” Friedensohn, a wickedly talented illustrator, muralist, NFT artist, and educator in our creative community.

    He’s worked with—as well has been featured by—Apple, Hypebeast, Topps, Coca-Cola, and Adobe.

    He’s also found success as an NFT artist with his collections on the marketplaces Foundation, OpenSea, and Nifty Gateway.

    In today’s episode we talk shop on:

    The new wave of digital collecting and ownership.How to get people to connect with your work.Tips for minting and listing your first NFT collection.Continually experimenting in lanes that make you uncomfortable.Finding community, PFP projects, crypto, and more.

    The Goal: To spotlight the massive new opportunities for creatives now and on the horizon with actionable steps to get you started!

  • Looking to take the full-time creative leap one day?

    It’s easier said than done, as most people only share the highlights of self-employment.

    Yes, this is a recap, but it’s so much more than that.

    If you want to pursue the side hustle to self-employed route…

    Then this lesson-loaded Year 2 review will be both extremely beneficial and insightful.

    Essentially, I’m sharing the ugly via an audio journal to document the lows behind the highs as a self-employed creative.

    The Goal: To use my moments of stumbles to help position yourself as a professional who’s prepared to take the leap when your time comes.

    So here are 9 Tips for Surviving and Thriving as a Self-Employed Creative (Year 2 | 2021 Recap)

  • Not Creating = Dying?

    If you were created to create, but you’re not creating…

    Then, essentially, you must be passively existing and dying, right?

    I want to chat about how creating is one major key I’ve found that unlocks:

    Fulfillment within yourself, your work, and your life.A productive escape from the daily hard shit.A deeper connection with yourself and others.New skills, big ideas, clarity, and confidence.The next level of your overall potential.

    It’s more than just creating art…

    Here are the 5 Branches of Creating (I’m sure there’s more) to get the most juice from the squeeze out of your finite existence.

    If your creative work isn’t fun, it just becomes another mundane, soul-sucking day job.

    There’s gotta be a source of enthusiasm, energy, and borderline obsession for your craft to build a creative career around doing what you love long-term.

    Today’s guest is a great example of how curiosity, experimentation, and play are compounding catalysts for big opportunities.

    Tad Carpenter co-runs Carpenter Collective—a powerhouse design and branding studio—with his wickedly talented wife, Jessica.

    They slay brand strategy, identities, illustrations, etc. for behemoths like MTV, Ray-Ban, Target, Macy’s, and more.

    Tad’s also illustrated a gaggle of children’s books that have become staple reading material for my kiddos each night.

    Not only do we nerd out over the power of personal projects, like his latest Sunday Suns book release... (Listen to the outro as I’m giving away 2 copies of his book!)

    But we also talk shop on:

    The importance of play and creating for yourself.Leveraging your day job and learning your industry.Diversifying your creative outlets and skillsets.The power of planting seeds with your work and relationships.Non-gross cold outreach, constraints, parenting, and more.

    The Goal: To convince you to carve out time to create for yourself—you never know what big breaks it could lead to.
