Apple Podcasts5onetiredmamaUnited Statesa year ago - Great podcast for any creative!
I found this show went on a whim when I did a craft fair and was looking for some quick advice. WOW, this show answered so much more. I’m a graphic designer and Sheena honestly and thoroughly answers so many questions that creatives and entrepreneurs have. I love how she is so structured in her advice and her teaching is quick to the point but always involves real life examples. She also addresses the human side of business (money is not always worth emotional toll! But also here’s how to think ... more

Apple Podcasts5ChristineKPUnited Statesa year ago - Shinah is incredible!
So once upon a time, I was scrolling through Instagram and I saw an ad for an online calligraphy course from Shinah Change of Crooked Calligraphy. Some time later, I discovered the Shinah Show which is a podcast for those who are either interested in or already have their own calligraphy business. This podcast really empowered me to quit my teaching career. Some days, I would be in my classroom and have it playing during my prep because I needed to hear hope. Hope for something better. Something... more

Apple Podcasts5heyitskayyyUnited States2 years ago - Always Inspiring

I don’t even do modern calligraphy but because I research transitioning from calligraphy as a hobby to a business, I stumbled upon Shinah and her podcast. Every time I take a walk I listen to Shinah’s podcast. I relate to Shinah as I, too, graduated from a prestigious graduate school to enter a profe... more

Shinah’s breadth of knowledge is on full display in her latest episode about copyrights and trademarks. She breaks the terms down and explains with clarity the differences between the two and provides the listener with different options and words of caution. A very informative episode!
