In this episode, Peter and Tom interview Artist, Jo Scott. As business owners and creators, it is absolutely possible to put all our eggs in one or two baskets - and some Artist do this very successfully. But there is also a lot to be said for having a variety of income streams.The guest in this episode, Jo Scott, is a brilliant example of someone who has a variety of income streams, all under the umbrella of being an Artist. She has carved out a working life for herself, on her own terms and in this episode, she shares how she has done so.In the first part of the episode, Jo discusses her initial route into the art world; greetings cards. She shares how she got started with greeting card design, how it grew and some top tips for anyone else looking to explore this avenue.In the second half of the episode, Jo talks more about how she combines her art and business with travelling and some of her other income streams (merchandise and mentoring) as well as her plans for the future.For more information about Jo, visit joscottart.comThis Podcast is sponsored by Rosemary & Co Brushes, Jackson's Art Supplies and Search Press publishers.For more information about our sponsors, please visit:Rosemary & Co Brushes: www.rosemaryandco.comJackson's Art supplies: www.jacksonsart.comSearch Press publishers: www.searchpress.comTom's website: tomshepherdart.comPeter's website: peterkeegan.comPodcast website: www.askanartistpodcast.com

But what happens when you realize you do the exact same thing in your own life?   We are digging into the messy, human psychology of why we all want more than we can sometimes afford.

The combined creative economies of Western Europe, US, Australia, New Zealand and Canada are now valued at over $1 trillion - driven primarily by solo entrepreneurs and small teams. So why in these seemingly booming times do many creative entrepreneurs still feel like they are struggling? Today we explore the disconnect between this massive opportunity and the way most creative entrepreneurs are trying to build their businesses - and reveal the three key shifts that are making all the difference for those who are succeeding. You will discover you are more ready than you think...   Key Moments: [00:00] Challenging conventional wisdom about creative businesses [02:00] The incredible scale of the creative economy - UK and global figures [05:53] Why creative businesses still struggle despite market strength  [08:58] The three real reasons creative entrepreneurs get stuck [11:44] Why now is actually the perfect time for creative businesses  [17:33] What's working now - key shifts for success [17:50] First shift: Identity over tactics [19:33] Second shift: Building around your natural strengths [20:59] Third shift: Sustainable systems that support creativity  [23:45] Your place in the creative economy and next steps   Notable Quotes: "What's easy for you is often impossible for your clients - that's exactly why they need you." "The creative entrepreneurs who are succeeding aren't starting with marketing strategies or business plans. They're starting with a fundamental shift in how they see themselves."   Resources Mentioned: Read: This Week's Full Journal Post Link: The Base Notes Waitlist Pinterest Experiment Guide:  Follow Along with My Pinterest Experiment  Subscribe to our Weekly newsletter Website: www.philippacraddock.com Email: news@philippacraddock.com    Share Your Insights: How has your perspective on your creative business changed after hearing these market insights?

If you're spending hours creating beautiful content that gets crickets for engagement, the problem isn't your design skills or your expertise. It's probably your content topics! This episode will show you exactly how to fix it. Today I'm breaking down the framework I use to evaluate every single content topic before it goes live. Here's the truth: a great content topic can make mediocre design and copy perform well, but even the most beautiful, expertly crafted content will flop if the topic doesn't land. I spend more time ideating content topics than I do on creative, editing, or scripting, because when you nail the topic, everything else becomes easier. I'm sharing the exact 5 filter system I use to test whether a content topic will actually stop the scroll and convert, or if it's destined to get lost in the noise. From understanding the difference between "specific" and "niche" (they're not the same thing) to making sure your topics showcase your unique expertise without being too broad, this framework will transform how you approach content creation. I'm giving you real examples from my own content, including posts that could have performed better and exactly how I would fix them using this system. Plus, I'm sharing how this process saves me time on caption writing because when your content topic is strong enough, you don't need to rely on heavy captions to carry the message. In today's episode, we're talking about: Why content topics matter more than design or copy  The difference between "specific" and "niche"  How to make content personal to your expertise without making it hyper niche The attention-grabbing formula that gets people to stop scrolling  Why trying to teach a "whole textbook" in one post is killing your engagement Connect with me:  Website Join our email list!

What if the biggest thing blocking your success is the 5-inch gap between your ears?I had one of those conversations that leaves you staring at the wall afterward. Brain rewiring expert Mindi Huebner accidentally started rewiring my relationship with rest and productivity during what was supposed to be a casual catch-up call. She told me about a client who wanted seven figures but could only work 25 hours a week. One 15-minute session later, that limiting belief vanished and she hit a million dollars in three months.Mindi reveals why mindset and identity are completely different, her 24-karat identity framework, and how to spot when you're stuck in an identity box. You'll discover why rest breeds creativity, simple language swaps that rewire your brain, and how to replace "should have" thinking with future-focused language.

Sometimes we're truly busy, but other times we're busy for busy's sake, because that's what we feel we have to do. Today I'm inviting you to get more strategic and take the things off your plate that don't need to be there!

In this episode of The Career Flipper, host Jenny Dempsey sits down with sisters Wendy and Elizabeth Pochop of Baltimore, Maryland, co-founders of Untethered Voyages, a side hustle turned passion project that creates cruise-based retreats for leaders, communities, and organizations.We connected through Support Driven, a global community for customer support professionals, and what started as a conversation about side hustles turned into an inspiring look at building something new from burnout, curiosity, and passion for travel.What You'll Hear in This Episode:How Wendy's burnout in customer success led to a sabbatical, curiosity, and eventually a pivot toward travel and hospitality.The family cruise that sparked the idea for Untethered Voyages and how it evolved from “workations at sea” into curated community-building retreats.The unique way Wendy and Elizabeth balance their strengths, vision and execution, while building a business together as sisters, roommates, and travel buddies.Why structure, accountability, and small sacrifices are key to making side hustles work alongside full-time jobs.Practical advice for anyone feeling stuck in their career: start small, find joy outside of work, and solve a problem you've already faced for others.Their big vision: living and working full-time from cruise ships while helping groups create unforgettable experiences. Connect with Untethered VoyagesJoin their Alaska adventure next summer www.untetheredvoyages.com/alaska.BONUS: They will waive the planning fee for Career Flipper Podcast listeners, if you go on the trip, use code "Career Flipper"!Connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/untetheredvoyagesvacations/Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/untethered-voyagesBook your own group retreat at sea: untetheredvoyages.com Thanks for tuning in to The Career Flipper!If this episode made you think, laugh, or feel a little braver about your own flip, do me a favor:

This week I get to hang out with Jeff Rojas—a mellow, super talented commercial photographer and former Adobe rep who's been in the photography game for 14 years. His story started with something really personal…photographing a classic car with his grandfather…and it grew into a career that's full of lessons for all of us.Jeff and I cover a lot of ground in this episode, including the business of photography, the future of creative entrepreneurship, and how to thrive in commercial photography today. Here are just a few of the gems you'll hear:How wealth doesn't really change people—it just turns up the volume on who they already areWhy working with clients who truly value quality is the key to a thriving business (money or no money)Jeff's approach to pricing: not fixed rates, but real valueWhat he learned as Adobe's go-to-market manager and how that ties into the future of creative entrepreneurshipHis refreshing take on AI—it's not here to replace us, but to multiply what we can doAnd my favorite: his “jawbone of a donkey” analogy—why you should use the skill you're most afraid to use, the one you already have, instead of waiting for the perfect toolJeff also opens up about taking a much-needed break during 2020 to recover from burnout, and how he found his balance again. It's an honest, inspiring conversation about creativity, business, and the courage to make the most of what you've been given.Here is how to check out what Jeff is up to and get in his orbit:·     facebook.com/sajorffej·     instagram.com/sajorffej·     linkedin.com/in/sajorffej·     sajorffej.comConnect with Photography Business Coach Luci Dumas: Website Email: luci@lucidumas.comInstagram FacebookYouTubeNew episodes drop every week — make sure to subscribe so you never miss an inspiring guest or a powerful solo episode designed to help you grow your photography business.

You have all the strategies, all the frameworks, and all the tools, but you're still not implementing them. At this point, you know the problem isn't your lack of knowledge. Today I'm switching things up from my usual strategy heavy episodes to tackle the real issue that's keeping you stuck: your mindset around marketing and content creation. After being surrounded by entrepreneurs outside my direct industry, I've realized we're complaining about posting 3 times a week while others are treating content creation like the full-time job it actually is. The truth is, we're headed toward a future where you can't afford to be on just 1 platform anymore, and if you can't manage 2 posts now, you're going to struggle when the standard becomes 6 posts across multiple platforms just to crack six figures. This isn't about adding more to your to-do list, it's about fundamentally shifting how you think about content and marketing in your business. I'm walking you through the exact mindset shifts that have allowed me to expand my marketing platforms and treat content creation like what it actually is: the primary way I make money. From stopping the comparison trap with other niches to understanding why discomfort in content creation is actually data, these shifts will change how you approach your entire marketing strategy. In today's episode, we're talking about: How to reframe every post as a salesperson knocking on 1,000 doors The difference between teaching and selling through content  Why comparing your content to other niches is sabotaging your strategy How comfort in content creation is actually preventing your growth  The mindset shift from inspiration-based posting to systematic content creation  Connect with me:  Website Join our email list!

When life and business feel messy, do you wait for the perfect conditions or push through? In this episode, I'm sharing the behind-the-scenes reality of "making it work" this summer like taking meetings from a YMCA bench and even recording this episode from my car. We'll talk about why shifting from perfection to progress is so hard for creatives, how embracing scrappy seasons can actually fuel resilience and momentum, and practical ways to move forward when conditions are far from perfect.If you've ever struggled with waiting for the “right” time, place, or setup before creating, this episode will encourage you to show up as you are...because done is better than perfect, and your work matters and is worth fighting for.
