You can count the number of Creatives who embrace research on one finger.The rest of us desperately try to fight it with lines like 'you can't research original ideas', 'the group gets lead by its most vocal member', 'the public can only judge finished ads, not research material', and on and on.Good arguments.But the argument against is better - John Webster.Once delivered, it's hard for us sceptics to know where to go.He loves research.He does the best work.So why did he embrace it?How did he use it?And why doesn't everyone who loves his work follow his lead?I asked these and more to Sarah Carter, Adam&Eve/DDB Global Planning Partner, who worked with John as his planner for over fifteen years and who knows how many ads.Hope you enjoy it.
Just like governments do not run like businesses, so too does creative businesses not look like other businesses. All too often what would be expected in business, is not true for creative business — say the customer is always right, being hungry and scrappy always works and, of course, price matters above all else. Enter the intention/reception paradox.

We're kicking off a brand new cohort of the My Makeup Mastermind - and in this special episode, I'm sharing something the 10 Commandments for Creatives.Whether you're a new creative entrepreneur or deep into your journey, these commandments will help you…
British advertising may have had more successful businessmen.More accomplished creative directors.Bigger award winners.But never a better Creative.No one has more ideas living in British people's heads than John Webster.They didn't gatecrash either – they were invited in.Singing and dancing their way past the barriers and into the national consciousness.One big, happy conga line; Smash Martians, Cresta Bear, Honey Monster, John Smith's Arkwright, the Prize Guys, the Humphreys, and on and on.Born across four different decades.Created, unlike other ads at the time – alone and using research.Occasionally John and a writer are credited, but primarily John was both the art director and writer.At the time, Bernbach's 1+1=3 was the law, so that was very rare.Rarer still, were Creatives who embraced research.Creatives viewed it as a killer of creativity and innovation.I thought I'd look into these aspects of John's process.First, by talking about how John created ideas.Fortunately, Dave Trott broke his anti-podcast rule, which is great, because I couldn't think of anyone better to talk to on the subject.Dave worked with John through the seventies and is obviously a brilliant Creative in his own right. (He's not just a blogger kids.)Next, I'll talk to planner Sarah Carter about how John used research to shape ideas, but first, here's Dave…
EPISODE: Done is Better than Perfect — CB SoloIn this off-the-cuff solo episode, I'm recording straight from the car while life is FULL — because DONE really is better than perfect.In this catch-up you'll hear:How I wrapped the 5th 12-Day Dream Maker Accelerator — and what made this round so powerfulThe behind-the-scenes of moving house mid-launch (because why not!) — and why momentum matters more than perfect timingHow my Momentum Q3 crew sold out in record time — and what you can take from that for your own offersReal progress on my book Let Your Vision Be Bigger Than Your Bullshit — and what's helping me finally get it DONEWhy staying connected to your vision matters most when life gets messy, chaotic, or unexpectedHow surrounding yourself with good people (your crew!) will radically shift what you believe is possibleIf you're building something brave, navigating chaos, or fighting perfectionism — this one will land.It's your reminder: start where you are, with what you've got.

Empowering Creatives: How to Build Community, Strategy, and Success for Artists - Kre8 Spaces, LLC - ValuationPodcast.comWelcome to ValuationPodcast.com, a podcast and video series covering all things business and valuation. I'm Melissa Gragg, a financial mediator and valuation expert based in St. Louis, Missouri.Today's episode is a truly inspiring one. We're joined by Quintrel Brown, Dwayne Ferguson, and Christian Boyd—three creative entrepreneurs and founders of Kre8 Spaces, a production studio and community hub designed to empower artists, creators, and entrepreneurs. Their mission? To provide the tools, mentorship, and consistent support needed for sustainable creative and financial success.These three aren't just running a studio—they're building a movement. From mentorship to grants, production tools to business strategy, they're changing the way creatives launch and grow. Whether you're a young artist, a seasoned entrepreneur, or just someone passionate about supporting the arts, you'll want to hear their story.Key Takeaways:1. Community Is the CatalystKre8 Spaces was founded on a shared mission to uplift creatives—especially young and underserved artists—by providing not only tools but also mentorship and connection. Real growth happens in community, and this space gives artists a place to collaborate, stay accountable, and build lasting relationships.2. Strategy Over StardomTalent and tools aren't enough. The team emphasizes the importance of having a clear strategy: knowing your end goal, setting short-term targets, and building consistency. Viral moments mean little without the foundation to sustain and monetize them.3. Resources Go Beyond EquipmentWhile Kre8 Spaces offers state-of-the-art gear (like 4K cameras, podcast studios, and backdrops), the real value lies in what surrounds it: grant education, legal support, workshops, and mentorship. Creatives gain access to an ecosystem that helps them build sustainable income streams.4. Creativity Drives Economic ImpactInvesting in the arts uplifts entire communities. From tourism to tech, fashion to architecture, creativity fuels innovation and local pride. By supporting artists, cities like St. Louis can retain talent and stimulate cultural and economic growth.5. Start Small, Stay Consistent, Show UpPerfection isn't required—action is. The founders stress that many creators stall waiting for ideal conditions. Instead, focus on building momentum, learning from missteps, and aligning with people who elevate your mission. Success is built through persistence and presence.Visit Kre8 SpacesConnect with QuintrelConnect with DwayneConnect with ChristianMelissa Gragg is a seasoned financial mediator and business valuation expert with over 20 years of experience.

Ever wondered if ChatGPT's Sora for Amazon can churn out eye-catching Sponsored Brands videos and slash your creative costs?In this episode we stress-test Sora's brand-new text-to-video model on five real-world products—an adjustable bed, a blender, sunglasses, a fitness band and a ceiling fan—to see whether AI can finally keep up with the fast-moving world of Amazon PPC.We upgraded to the pro tier (up to 1080p, 20-second clips) and fed Sora highly detailed cinematographer-style prompts.The results?From beds that fold like origami to athletes morphing into jump-scare monsters, Sora's glitches prove it's not ad-ready—yet.Still, its rapid evolution mirrors the leap we saw with AI image generators earlier this year, and OpenAI says more refinements are on the way.
In today's episode, we shine a spotlight on Linc Thelen, a Chicago-based artist who plays a key role in Arthouse, an unscripted home design television show. Produced by Crewest Studio and supported by the nonprofit Arterial, NOT REAL ART's fiscal sponsor, Arthouse aims to bridge the gap between talented artists and everyday people, redefining how art is experienced in personal spaces. With a mission to democratize art, Arthouse empowers viewers to curate authentic artwork that aligns with their tastes without straining their budgets. The show's concept centers on eliminating intimidation in art collecting, providing local artists with a platform to showcase their work directly to buyers.To support this vision, Arthouse is launching a crowdfunding campaign to raise $150,000 to produce a full-length pilot episode. Set in Chicago, the pilot will follow an individual or family as they explore local art scenes, visit artist studios, and make informed purchasing decisions with the help of host Carmen Acosta. The campaign, running from June 10 to July 25, 2025, on Indiegogo, offers a unique opportunity for art lovers to contribute to a project that aims to transform the way we perceive and appreciate art in our daily lives.As the featured artist in the Arthouse sizzle reel, filmed in Chicago last year, Linc brings a unique perspective on how this groundbreaking initiative is reshaping the relationship between artists and the public. With a mission to connect real people with authentic art, Arthouse aims to eliminate the barriers that often separate original artwork from everyday life. Linc also shares his artistic evolution, discussing the challenges he has faced while navigating the contemporary art scene. His involvement with Arthouse reflects his deep commitment to making art accessible to everyone, not just art collectors and gallery-goers. Throughout our conversation, Linc emphasizes the importance of fostering emotional connections through art, reminding us that the true value of a piece lies in its ability to resonate with individuals on a personal level.

If your email list growth has been a little “meh” lately, this episode is your sign to shake things up! In today's episode of Creatives on Fire, I'm sharing 7 proven strategies to help you grow your email list fast—without needing complicated tech or paid ads. Whether you're just getting started or ready to scale, these ideas will spark fresh inspiration for getting more subscribers today. https://creativesonfirepodcast.com/episode200 1. Swap Freebies with a Biz Bestie Partner with someone in your niche (or a complementary one!) and promote each other's freebies to your email lists. It's a win-win way to grow your audience with warm leads who already trust the person sharing you. Try this at least once a quarter! 2. Join a Bundle, Blog Hop, or Online Event Group events like seasonal blog hops or digital bundles can put your opt-in in front of hundreds—if not thousands—of new people. I've grown my list by tens of thousands this way over the years! Keep your freebie super simple and easy to access (no multi-step signups, please). 3. Automate a Keyword on Social Media Set up a simple automation using tools like Instachamp or Minichat and invite your followers to comment a keyword like “connect” or “email” to get your freebie. Use this in both your posts and stories—set a reminder to do this weekly. 4. Create a Fun Quiz Everyone loves a good quiz! Whether it's “What's Your Crafting Personality?” or “Which Business Model Fits You Best?”—use a quiz to deliver personalized results via email. This strategy converts really well because it's engaging and tailored to the reader. 5. Host a Giveaway (But Do It Smart) Run a giveaway and require an email opt-in to enter. Make the prize digital—like an Amazon gift card or downloadable bundle—to keep it simple. Pro tip: Host the giveaway on your blog to drive traffic and collect subscribers. 6. Offer Bonus Content in a Private Group or Channel Whether it's a weekly message, tutorial, or just encouragement—give your email subscribers access to a private Facebook group or broadcast channel. It builds loyalty and community fast. 7. Turn Your Top Blog Post Into a Freebie Check your Google Analytics to find your best-performing post and add a relevant, useful opt-in right to that page. Think: checklist, printable, or mini tutorial based on the post topic. Bonus Action Tip: Don't try to do all of these at once. Choose 1–2 ideas and schedule them on your calendar each month. Consistency, not overwhelm, is what will grow your list fast. Mentioned in this episode: My upcoming book: Creatives on Fire: 71 Secrets to Making Money Online – coming soon!

Picture this: it's June, the sun is calling your name, and all you want to do is sit poolside with an iced coffee without thinking about your inbox, Slack messages, or the dreaded social media algorithm. You tell yourself, "This summer I'm going to take a real break. I deserve it. I need it."But then the panic hits. What if my audience forgets about me? What if my sales dry up? What if everything crumbles while I'm lounging at the cottage with no wifi?I've been there, and I get it. Every year I set the intention to take time off, and most years I have to fight those mental gymnastics trying to convince myself it's okay to step away. But here's the thing – you can absolutely take time off, unplug, slow down, AND your business can still thrive. You just need to plan for it.In this episode, I'm spilling the tea on exactly what I do in my business every summer to create space, stay visible, and keep the money flowing while traveling, resting, and living life at a slower pace. Whether you're running a course business, coaching practice, or done-for-you services, there are strategies here that will make your summer feel like the breath of fresh air it's meant to be – not a financial meltdown.What You'll Learn:How to automate money-making with payment plans and mini funnels that work while you're off the gridThe "passive visibility" strategy using low-cost ads and smart content batchingWhy affiliate campaigns are perfect for summer income (with zero delivery required)CEO-level reflection prompts that lead to breakthrough business insightsHow to batch an entire summer's worth of content using AI toolsThe mindset shift that lets you step away guilt-free without your business collapsingWhy summer is actually the perfect time to run ads (hint: they're cheaper!)Resources Mentioned:Senja.io: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/senjaThrivecart: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/thrivecartConvertKit: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/convertkitManyChat: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/manychat Support the show

Hannah Cole is back on So Money — and just in time. You may know her as the founder of Sunlight Tax, or from her game-changing workshops that help creatives and freelancers make sense of their money. But today, she's here to share insights from her forthcoming book, Taxes for Humans, which might just be the most approachable — and dare I say, funny — tax book you'll ever read.In this conversation, Hannah and I dive into the emotional baggage so many of us carry around taxes: shame, intimidation, even fear. She opens up about being dismissed by a traditional accountant early in her career, and how that lit the fire for her to become a voice for those often left out of financial conversations — women, artists, freelancers, anyone who's ever felt like a “weirdo” in the world of money.We talk about how to avoid the dreaded tax bill shock, what the IRS really cares about, why freelancers need to understand quarterly taxes, and what you should know if you're married and your spouse is handling the taxes (spoiler: pay attention!). Plus, Hannah shares the number one thing new business owners should do to feel confident and in control of their taxes.
