Behind every “yes” in the toy industry, there's a mountain of “no's,” countless hours of hustle, and more trial and error than most people expect. At one point, he came close to walking away from it all—until a single line from an episode of Bluey reminded him that making games was exactly what he was meant to do.In this episode Making It In The Toy Industry, I'm joined by the incredibly talented Jeremy Posner, owner of Shenanigans Toys and Games, the inventor behind hit games like Beagle or Bagel, Bears in Barrels, and Piggy Piggy. He's been named to the Mojo Nation 100 SIX times, won Game Innovator of the Year at the TAGIEs, and has worked with some of the biggest names in the toy industry like Hasbro, Mattel, and Spin Master. But here's the plot twist: it took Jeremy EIGHT years to meet his royalty goals. And that's after winning major awards and getting meetings with big companies right out the gate.You're gonna hear why just licensing a game doesn't mean you've made it, what really makes a game “sellable” to toy companies, and why most ideas just don't cut it. Jeremy also explained the real deal with royalties or advances, and how long it actually takes to see a check. He even shared how he trained his brain to be more creative (yes, that's a thing!).Dreaming of creating the next game night hit or just curious what it really takes to make it in toys and games?Hit play and steal a few smart moves for your next big creative leap.Listen for these Important Moments! [00:03:07] - Despite early wins, including a TAGIE award and a background at Big Monster Toys, Jeremy didn't hit his financial goals from game licensing until eight years in. [00:11:17] - After Toy Fair, Jeremy reflects on the silence that often follows a pitch. He explains how learning why you're hearing “no” (and from whom) is key to improving your ideas and not losing steam.[00:23:00] - Around year four, Jeremy stopped “just creating” and started strategically designing evergreens. He audited his creative process, studied the brain, and trained himself to boost creative output daily.[00:33:04] - Jeremy tests tons of game ideas fast by building quick, minimum viable prototypes. He runs super short playtests to see what's worth developing and keep his creativity flowing.[00:40:35] - Near the end of the episode, Jeremy shares his dream of designing fan experiences for sports teams and creating original game shows, proving he's still dreaming big, even after major success in toys and games.Send The Toy Coach Fan Mail!

About Jesse AlexanderJesse Alexander is an Emmy award-winning screenwriter and producer with over two decades of experience crafting iconic television series and groundbreaking game content. If you've watched TV over the last 20 years, you've likely seen some of Jesse's work. His television credits include Alias, Lost, Heroes, Hannibal, Star Trek: Discovery, American Gods, and Citadel.A pioneer in transmedia storytelling, Jesse has designed award-winning content that extends narratives across multiple platforms. His work in the gaming industry includes contributions to LucasArts, Predator VR, and animated trailers for Blur, as well as narrative design consulting for Valorant and other Riot Games titles.In this episode, Jesse shares his incredible journey—growing up immersed in film and game culture, hustling as a screenwriter, and navigating the ever-evolving landscape of TV and interactive storytelling. We discuss the impact of AI on the creative process, how he channels ADHD into productivity, and the lessons he's learned from decades of freelancing across television, film, and games. Jesse's relentless passion for storytelling, genre innovation, and collaboration shines through, making this an insightful and inspiring conversation for creators of all kinds.Find more about Jesse Alexander at: https://www.scribblejerk.com/Ah-ha! Justin's Takeaways* As Creators, We Are the Product, Not What We Make: Jesse's perspective on creativity was a huge lightbulb moment for me—he emphasized that formats change, tastes shift, and technology evolves, but the one constant in a creative career is you. Instead of being overly attached to any one project, Jesse has focused on honing his craft, staying adaptable, and evolving with the industry. This reminded me of how essential it is to keep learning and growing, no matter the medium or platform.* Ikigai—Finding Purpose in Creative Work: Jesse's career embodies the Japanese concept of ikigai—that intersection of passion, skill, and purpose. He spoke about staying humble, not taking creative work for granted, and grinding relentlessly to turn his love of storytelling into a career. It reinforced something I've long believed: success in any creative field isn't just about talent—it's about the work. If you love it, you have to show up every day and put in the effort to make it sustainable.* Not Fearing Feedback is a Superpower: One of the biggest takeaways from Jesse's story was how he developed an immunity to criticism early on. He grew up making Super 8 films with his friends, and the brutally honest feedback they gave each other shaped his ability to iterate without ego. This fearlessness allowed him to refine his skills, take risks, and navigate the competitive world of Hollywood and game writing. It made me reflect on how fear of judgment holds so many people back—if you can embrace feedback as a tool for growth, you unlock a creative superpower.Think Like A Game Designer is a reader-supported publication.

He emphasizes that success in creative fields isn't just about raw talent—it's about showing up, doing the work, and proving you can execute under pressure. This lesson is invaluable for aspiring creatives looking to establish credibility and build momentum.“The truth is, you just have to decide how badly you want to succeed at the thing—and then turn everything else off.” (00:29:06)Discussing the impact of ADHD on his creative process, Jesse shares how he managed distractions by eliminating them entirely. He credits his ability to stay hyper-focused on writing by avoiding TV, video games, and unnecessary noise. His disciplined approach serves as a powerful reminder that deep work requires conscious effort to remove obstacles and stay committed to the craft.“I was the guy willing to talk back to executives and say, ‘You guys don't get it, man—this show is great.'” (00:44:32)Jesse recounts his time working on Heroes and how the network initially didn't understand its appeal. He explains the importance of being an advocate for creative vision, even when facing skepticism or resistance. His willingness to challenge industry norms and fight for bold ideas is a valuable lesson for any creator looking to push boundaries.“I just want to keep that beginner's brain activated—because we, as creators, are the product.” (01:03:45)Jesse describes his philosophy of lifelong learning, from experimenting with AI to studying new storytelling formats like screen-life movies. He emphasizes that the entertainment landscape is always evolving, and staying relevant means continually pushing yourself to learn, adapt, and innovate. This takeaway is crucial for creatives who want to remain at the forefront of their industry. Get full access to Think Like A Game Designer at justingarydesign.substack.com/subscribe

Or, on the flip side, ‘I'm not accepting the status quo anymore, something needs to change.' You were probably young, and though the motives may have not been entirely clear to you, it was a moment of stepping up and claiming your authority; of claiming the next best version of you. Olatunde Sobomehin is the co-author of the book Creative Hustle, and the CEO at StreetCode Academy, a community-based tech ecosystem that's preparing the next generation of underrepresented tech leaders with everything from basic computing to virtual reality.

Episode 44: Bringing Creative Hustle into Schools“Hustle culture” has become synonymous with trying to cram more into a day, emphasizing productivity over humanity, and valuing achievement over wellbeing. But what if there was a kind of hustle that upended all of those values, and instead, focused on becoming the most centered and fulfilled version of yourself? A kind of hustle that prioritizes inner work, understanding who you are as a person and a community member, and asks how you can bring your greatest gifts to bear on the world? That, according to sam seidel and Olatunde Sobomehin, is Creative Hustle.Guests: sam seidel and Olatunde SobomehinResources, Transcript, and Expanded Show NotesIn This Episode:“I think that one of the things that Tunde and I connected on very early in our, our friendship, colleagueship, was how much better we, we believe our own lives are, how much richer they are, and how much more we've been able to do in the world by being able to move between parts of our society that are often really segregated…And how can we open that up for more people? Because too often folks are, are, are just kept really separate by some of those boundaries and the walls. So how do we make those boundaries, those borders more permeable?” (6:15)“Capture the biggest way that you could think, right? What are my principles? What moves me? What grounds me? What am I gonna hold onto in the moments of transition, in the, in the difficult moments, the challenging moments, and the moments that are really tempting for me to kind of steer left or right, what's gonna really be my anchor?” (23:11)“We've just been sent from one period, to the next, to the next, year after year. And then all of a sudden we're supposed to have a framework for making these big decisions. And we're out in the world and we need to have a network. We need to know what principles are guiding our decisions. We need to have built these resilient practices. But that hasn't been asked of us up to that point really, or invited.” (30:54)Related Episodes: 40, 37, 23,19,15, 8, 2 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Many professionals end up in a career that might not represent their passion or the bigger purpose they might want out of life. So what do you do then? To explore how to discover your purpose and find the ambition to go from idea to reality, I've invited Sam Seidel and Olatunde Sobomehin to share their thoughts with us. Sam Seidel is the Director of Strategy and Research at the Stanford d.school and author of Hip Hop Genius: Remixing High School Education, which introduces an iteration of hip-hop education that goes far beyond studying music as classroom content. Olatunde Sobomehin is the CEO and Co-Founder of StreetCode Academy, a nonprofit that helps bridge the digital divide, empowering communities of color to achieve their full potential by teaching the mindset, skills, and strategies they need to embrace tech and innovation. Earlier this year, Sam and Olatunde co-authored Creative Hustle: Blaze Your Own Path and Make Work That Matters. We begin our conversation discussing their book, which began as a course taught by Sam and Olatunde at the d.school. In the course, they taught about ways to identify and navigate your creative path, and how to make a living doing things that matter. It wasn't until co-workers approached them and presented the idea of turning the course into a book that they realized the direction had greater potential. Sam and Olatunde explain how the words "Creative Hustle" are perfect for their endeavor; a combination of imagination and ambition. They want to share insights about finding new creative paths that inspire, building diverse viewpoints, and creating ventures that benefit yourself and your community, while bringing enough entrepreneurial energy to move those ideas forward. In addition, we discuss the journey of co-authoring the book, which is often a tumultuous road. Sam shares how the experience of having a co-author is preferred to writing solo and how the experience bought him so much closer to Olatunde. Three Key Takeaways: * When authoring a book, you should also be considering the business models that can be used once it is published to avoid chasing the hype. * Working with a co-author allows you to push each other to be better and make sure your ideas are concrete. * During the process of writing a book, take some time to enjoy the process.
TODAY'S GUEST Ashish Goel is the author of Drawing on Courage: Risks Worth Taking and Stands Worth Making. It's a part of a series of guides being published by the Stanford d.school. Ashish is a designer, an entrepreneur, and a former teaching fellow at the Stanford d.school where he has taught classes on design thinking, digital product design, and mapmaking. Previously, he worked as head of design at Zomato (India's DoorDash and Yelp rolled into one), and today advises companies in the art and science of product design, and is currently building Boca, a direct-to-consumer sparkling water business based in India. We spoke in early August 2022, and I was excited to talk to Ashish because his book, Drawing on Courage, reminded me how important having courage and taking a stand are in the creative process. EPISODE SUMMARY In this conversation we talk about: Covid, and losing his mother to Covid. Being inspired by the resilience of the world during Covid. Growing up wanting to be a comic book designer. His experience at the d.school, learning to be brave and creative. The writing of his book, Drawing on Courage. Using design thinking to deal with rejection. Fear versus love as motivation. Change as part of the journey of courage. Using our gut to make decisions. The future of higher education. And the importance of beauty in decision-making. Ashish reminds us that the creative act can be scary. That facing the blank page or the blank whiteboard does not come easily to most, and that that leap of faith is worth making, and is in fact essential in every creative endeavor. This conversation is one of many weekly conversations we already have lined up for you with thinkers, designers, makers, authors, and entrepreneurs who are working to change our world for the better. I just received a couple of new books from the Stanford d.school, and we're working on setting up those interviews as well — they include the books, Creative Hustle, This is a Prototype, and You Need a Manifesto. So if you want to hear these, and the other episodes we've got for you, please follow this podcast on your favorite podcast app, or head over to RemakePod.org to subscribe.

Adam Scorgie's plan A has always been to work hard, be humble and take chances; and it has worked tremendously to date. A father of 3, a loving husband and an acclaimed documentarian, Adam has an astonishing ability to balance his relentless work schedule and his invaluable family time. Primarily growing up in BC's Okanagan Valley, Adam was inspired to move to New York City, where he spent 3 years studying film and television at the renowned William Esper Studios in Manhattan. Upon his return to Canada, Adam invested every dollar he had to produce his first feature documentary, ‘The Union: The Business Behind Getting High'. ‘The Union' exceeded all expectations by being selected to 33 film festivals, where it won several best feature documentary awards. The success of ‘The Union' demanded a follow up, which lead to the crowd-funded sequel, ‘The Culture High'. Upon request in 2012, the film, which focused on the war on drugs, would go on to screen for government officials in Canada's Parliament Hill during the country's preliminary steps to legalizing marijuana nationwide. Adam was very fortunate to be a two-time guest on Joe Rogan's to talk about the impact of both films. To date, Adam has produced ten feature films, with two features currently in post-production including ‘Inmate #1: The Rise of Danny Trejo' and ‘Bisping', an in-depth look at the life of UFC legend Michael Bisping. His leadership and loyalty to his team has ensured that his future films guarantee to impress and inspire those who watch them.

If you've been a student at Trinity in recent years or are from Alberta, you may recognize Olivia from her many times sangin'(yes, that's right, sangin') at Open Mic Nights, sharing her creativity through graphic design, or winning the 2014 Peace Country Idol.

The freedom of options that Olivia discovered through Trinity inspired her to pursue music and design intentionally, which eventually led her to start OSANII Design and work with some amazing organizations.Take a listen as we chat about her journey to Trinity Western, creative pursuits, and her faith journey.

In this one's I talk all about my favorite YouTubers and all the hardship of staring a podcast!
When I first met Katelyn she had reached out to me about being a guest on her podcast (The Creative Hustle) to chat alllllllllllll about how to avoid burnout as a creative entrepreneur. I fangirled, hard, because she was this bubbly, energetic girl boss who I just really wanted to be friends with. Isn't it funny how we don't really grow past kindergarten when it comes to just wanting to be friends with people? That was 2017, and over the last 2 years our relationship has evolved from a professional working relationship to a friendship I hold close to my heart. Don't believe me? Ask the wine bottles and IV bags that happen to make sure we both survive wedding season without crashing! As we were getting ready to launch The Superwoman Code, Katelyn was one of the people I reached out to about both being on the show and helping me understand how to make this thing work. In this episode, we dive deep into what burnout looked like for Katelyn, how she came back from it, what she does for her health, and how she manages a busy company without sacrificing herself to make it happen. For all you brides who are listening in (or brides-to-be!), she shares some of the magic of what makes Elegant Productions one of Atlantic Canada's foremost wedding planning services, why she believes that the “best day of your life” is supposed to come AFTER the wedding and why a strong morning routine is key to her truly having it all. I'm also going to apologize, because I royally fudged up the sound at the beginning of this episode, but didn't want to ask Katelyn to start over because she was on a roll! It gets fixed around the 13 minute mark. Until then - just turn up your headphones slightly and accept my apology to all of you Superwomen! To connect more with Katelyn, follow @elegantproductions on instagram and visit them online at www.elegantproductions.ca SUPERWOMAN INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/drashleymargeson SUPERWOMAN FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/drashleymargeson SUPERWOMAN SHOW NOTES: https://www.ashleymargeson.com/podcast
Kimberly Cadena, President and Founder of Creative Hustle, a boutique marketing agency based out of New Orleans and Shantelle Dedicke, President and Founder of Frances Roy, candidly share their experience of starting their own businesses and the importance that taking chances has played throughout their careers. Both business-owners agree that taking chances merely begins when you decide to launch your business. As an entrepreneur, you’ll be faced with the decision to take risks daily, but as time goes on, you learn which chances are worth taking. This is an excellent discussion between two marketing professionals that encompasses advice on saying no, reaching out to competitors, processing setbacks and so much more.

Creatives Randy Ford, Neve Kamilah Mazique-Bianco and Scott McCall speak to their experience as POC fine artists, dancers and performers in a city where barriers to success are multi-layered. Whether that means being priced out of neighborhoods or having their art form being categorized as lesser, resiliency is required to face the inequities they have encountered as creative Seattle professionals. They speak to racism, ableism, queer phobia, and classism as it intersects with the art and dance world. They also share their incredible accomplishments and advice for moving toward a greater culture of self-awareness within the arts, not only with the intention of diversity, but taking thoughtful action toward planning a truly welcoming and inclusive space.
Have you ever been undermined by someone else because of your age? Ever been told that you were "too young to get it"? On this episode of the Creative Hustle, Max sits down with Ottawa local Kesha McInnis to talk about the transition out of high school into the world as well as the decisions that many of us will face in a lifetime. I first met Kesha (keh-shah) a year ago and ever since I have been impressed with her level of ambition and maturity for a 17-year-old. That's right, she's just about to graduate high school. Let me ask you a question: what were you doing at 17? Well let me tell you that I was far from well-spoken and as productive as Kesha back in the day. To further my point, I'm sure that many people Kesha's age would much rather be playing Fortnite than waking up early on a Sunday to record a podcast... From photography, to connecting with Ottawa creatives, to social work and perhaps to videography, Kesha is currently going through the application process for college which is a daunting task for many. Well, here's to making a choice and trusting that it will all pan out. Whatever the path you ultimately select, I am excited to see what the future holds for you - keep up the great work, Kesha!

Leveling the Playing Field & Proving Your Humanity If you’re a creative like me, you deal with imposter syndrome, burnout, finding time to make personal work, and trying to make something meaningful. Some people refuse to admit these “flaws” publicly, as they feel it would tarnish their potential professional perception. In my eyes, showing the world that you're human attracts more people to you—no matter if you’re a wide-eyed rookie or a polished vet in the game. No one has it all figured out, no matter how hard someone tries to convince you otherwise. We appreciate knowing that the people we admire struggle with the same things we do—at least I do. It levels the playing field and empowers us to take it up a notch because if they can do it, we can too. Battling Comparison, Fighting Burnout, and Crushing Your Grind with Nick Slater Queue today’s guest, Nick Slater, illustrator and design Goliath slanging jaw-dropping work out of the Bay Area. He’s worked with big brands like Lyft, Slack, Twitter, Asana, Zendesk, Airstream, Epicurrence, and The Washington Post. His creativity, diverse skillset, and frequent output certainly may persuade you he’s a robot. However, with how open he is about the struggles we all deal with, reminds you he’s definitely human just like the rest of us. That’s what I love most about Nick—he’s got big-time work, but doesn't have a big head. In today’s episode, Nick Slater and I go into the nitty gritty about: Getting caught in the comparison trap even after you've "made it" Making time to grind outside a day job Fighting burnout by finding new outlets Looking inside to create impactful work outside What his last slice of pizza would be if he was on death row This one is going to give you all the feels and set a fire under your ass to push to the next level as we finish this week and year strong. You know the drill! Take a screenshot or share a video of the episode you’re listening to and tag me on IG @perspectivepodcast and let me know what you think.

Alt Photography is a contemporary wedding photography company comprised of Max Vidricaire and Brendan Wu. They have also grown the companies Instagram account to over 10.8 thousand Instagram followers. However, an interesting strategy they employed (up until very recently) was to not post pictures of weddings on their account. This may seem like an odd strategy but it worked for them as they have grown their account and landed clients because of it. In this episode we'll get into how they grow their account, how they land clients for their business, collaborating with companies like Google and Spotify and so much more. And to let you in on a little secret, Max and Brendan have invited me to be a guest on their podcast, The Creative Hustle so you should definitely listen to it to get to know the guys before I jump on their show. This is the longest episode yet and I really hope you enjoy it.

We're closing out March by talking with with London-based product designer and creative technologist Alex Fefegha. As the creative director of his own Alex's work has taken him all over the world, and he's currently creative director of Comuzi, an agency with clients like the BBC, the University of the Arts London and NHS England. Our talk is less of an interview and more of a conversation. We touch on a few entrepreneurial topics like starting a studio and finding clients, the state of diversity in design in London and the United Kingdom, and I ask Alex what he thinks prevents more Black designers from becoming recognized leaders in design. It's a little bit of a departure from the norm, but I'm glad that we were able to candidly discuss these topics. Thanks Alex!

[RECAP] Peter Cincotti. Steven, Alan, and Melissa are back in the San Diego studio recapping Peter Cincotti's interview from this past Tuesday. Peter was the youngest jazz musician to reach #1 on the Billboard Jazz Charts and collaborations with Phil Ramone, Harry Connick Jr., and David Foster, Peter is now a free agent looking to get his Creative Hustle back out there to the masses. He's been working on his latest album "Long Way From Home" for 3 years. He built a studio and moved all his pianos to the Jersey Shore... where he spent the summer's growing up as a kid. He took the time to learn the tech side of the business and produced this whole album, and we are stoked to be supporting him along his journey. [00:40] Recap of Interview How working with music giants and reaching #1 on the Billboard Jazz [5:04] Why learning the tech part the business is important for creative independence. [9:07] 2 tips for Creative Hustler's to take to the bank. 1. Having “Faith.” What does that mean? And 2. Persistence - which is the sustained effort necessary to induce faith. Resource mentioned: Think and Grow Rich. Guys, this book is under $9. It will change you, and the way you think about life, money, success, failures, faith, etc, etc, etc. I highly recommend not only reading it, but keeping as a resource on your bedside table. [16:09] The music industry has changed in the past 30 years. Does anyone remember MTV when it was really MTV? [19:36] Why having a tribe is important when building a brand. [20:00] Check out Peter's wacky Goodnight videos on Instagram. Sorry for putting you on blast, man, but you crack us up! Plus, you have some pretty sexy videos too. ;) [20:46] Peter's Pledge - Help a brother out! This is an awesome example of how musicians are connecting and communicating with their audiences on a personal level. [21:18] Although, we still don't know what tomatoes Peter uses in your sauce. We're so freaking curious about this. [28:57] Peter is selling his Sauce on his Pledge Music site. Alan challenges a sauce off between Steven and Peter. Who wants to see this shit?

"88 keys, a bench, and a mic. Give those things to Peter Cincotti and he can take you anywhere. Like a pilot in a cockpit, when Cincotti sits down at a piano it's as if the world is at his fingertips. And this time, on his highly anticipated new album, he is indeed traveling a Long Way From Home. 'Never before have I used the piano in this way. A few years ago, I began having these visions of an album that brings active, rhythmic piano playing back into the landscape of modern music.'" - Peter Cincotti website Hey, guys! It's not always rainbows and unicorns here at The Creative Hustler. Unfortunately, we had some audio issues in this interview. HOWEVER - this is a really special episode for Steven! He's been following Peter Cincotti's jazz career for 15 years. From youngest jazz musician to reach #1 on the Billboard Jazz Charts and collaborations with Phil Ramone, Harry Connick Jr., and David Foster, Peter is now a free agent looking to get his Creative Hustle back out there to the masses. He's been working on his latest album "Long Way From Home" for 3 years. He built a studio and moved all his pianos to the Jersey Shore... where he spent the summer's growing up as a kid. He took the time to learn the tech side of the business and produced this whole album, and we are stoked to be supporting him along his journey. We really hope you enjoy this one and find it as inspiring as we did! [01:08] What is Peter's success made of... Luck? Hard work? Opportunity? And if that success didn't happen would he still be chasing those dreams of becoming a musician? [6:02] 2 Pieces of advice: #1. However you want to take it... you gotta have faith. You have to believe. #2. Persistence. One of Peter's favorite quotes: Arianna Huffington - “Life's a dance between making it happen and letting it happen.” [8:24] What would Peter have done if Phil Ramone didn't come into his life? Submit to the “zeitgeist” if you will. [10:07] Learn to love the process even when you're getting “no's” left and right. [10:39] Peter's thoughts on “The Creative Hustler.”

It's also for you if you're tired of feeling overwhelmed in your business and are wondering when the next chapter is going to start. Cyndie.
