Brad Woodard preaches from Ecclesiastes on July 11, 2021. Speaker: Brandon Woodard
This episode is all about how visual creatives can leverage their unique talent towards building a sustainable business that doesn't rely just on commission or client work. My guest is Brad Woodard, an illustrator, and designer, co-founder of his own design studio Brave the Woods and a creative who has successfully managed to break free from the uncertainties of client work. Show Notes: Brad Woodard (IG; Website; Twitter; Youtube) is an illustrator, designer and visual creative. He owns the popular design and commercial illustration studio Brave the Woods which he runs with his wife Krystal. Brad has engineered and built a succesful business that relies not just on one but several sources of income to make money. So, in this episode, I investigate how creatives can think about and build their own diversified business with multiple streams of income without losing focus on their craft. Having a diversified portfolio of income sources is a great way to mitigate the risk that is inherent in freelance work and to get out of the typical feast and famine cycles of freelance life. We discuss: how to explore different styles while staying true to your message how to ask questions and learn from your heroes how to stand out in crowded content creation platforms like Youtube or Skillshare how to think about building multiple streams of income as a visual creative how to email people you want to work with (hint: it's all about connection) how to leverage tools like LinkedIn to find and target clients how to structure your client work with milestones to avoid excessive feedback loops And, we also get into some controversial topics such as "Wacom Cintiq or iPad Pro?" or "Is cereal more important than your loved ones?" Skillshare I mentioned Brad's classes on Skillshare and I have a referral link that will let you get two months of Skillshare for free here.
