You get to solve problems, express yourself, bring something new into the world and you get paid to do it. What's not to love. Yet every day, creative pros face, tremendous pressure and uncertainty. The temptation is just to play it safe, surrender to distraction and settle for less than your b... more

  • My fave!!

    I consider myself a bit of a podcast junky. I love all kinds of podcasts. I don’t recall how I stumbled across this one, but it is my absolute favorite! The quality of the content, the sound quality, the wonderful story telling, the interview excerpts, the great music in just the right spots with just the right volume, the duration. You all have nailed it. I only wish I had found you before you started fresh again.

    Well done!
