In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty is joined by George Kourakos, founder of AMG Media and a Forbes 30 Under 30 entrepreneur, to unpack what it takes to build a thriving startup in Europe's evolving market. George shares how he turned student-run events into a marketing powerhouse working with brands like HP and Lenovo—without any outside funding. The conversation spans key mindset shifts, strategic bootstrapping, the real reason big brands sponsor, and why AI will never replace human touch in high-performance businesses. A must-listen for founders, freelancers, and growth-driven professionals. About the Guest:George Kourakos is the founder and CEO of AMG Media, a full-scale marketing and event agency that began with grassroots student events and now partners with global corporations. Recognized by Forbes 30 Under 30, George has led major campaigns across Europe and mentors startups on sustainable growth, branding, and strategic planning. Key Takeaways: Bootstrapping works when you focus on high-value, human-first service. Pitching to sponsors is less about glam and more about timing, clarity, and trust. European startup growth is more structured and fund-accessible but requires a deep understanding of country-specific needs. AI is powerful, but without human insight, it can't deliver meaningful long-term growth. Staying grounded comes from constant learning, late nights, and a strong personal vision—not from external accolades.

Ever been to a spa? You get a menu with 12 fancy options… and no idea which one you actually need. Do you need the Ocean Quartz Detox Wrap for $149 or the Rejuvenating Himalayan Sound Bath Experience for $399? You have no idea. Now imagine you're about to spend $5K to $10K (or more), and you're handed the same kind of “pick-your-own-adventure” PDF. This is exactly what I've seen freelancers do in their sales process, and it's losing you clients you should've closed. In this week's episode of the 6 Figure Creative Podcast, I break down the “spa menu pricing” trap, and show you how to sell like a doctor instead. Doctors don't give you options. They listen, diagnose, and prescribe. That's what your clients want too (bc you're the expert of your domain). If you want to... Close more gigs Speed up your sales cycle (i.e. how long it takes to close a client) Charge what you're truly worth ...then don't miss this one.

Topics include: the hosts views on violent cinema, the strange life of “the world's most interesting man” and Peckinpah's friendship with Pauline Kael.

Hey there, hero!If you're a professional, acting can take all kinds of forms.TV. Film. Stage. Commercials. Digital. VO. Audiobooks. And so much more.But the rarity of on-camera work is even more pronounced now than it has been in the past.The numbers are very different in some categories than in others. Like, say, audiobooks.Lots more opportunity than in any mainstream on-camera work.But the numbers are, even in audiobooks, nuanced by your engagement and your acting ability and your mad skills in showing that off.If where you engage your acting skills are at least the same level of engagement you place your technical skills, you're going to move the needle in your favor.It's a reminder and a significant difference.Do you keep in mind to focus on the acting part as well as the tech and the project management?

Tap to send us a text! Is it possible to discover God's "why" in the creation story? It may seem impossible to be able to figure out God's mindset and purposes when He is all-knowing and we are not...but it's an essential question to ask if we want to truly be fulfilled as creatives. As artists, musicians, and freelancers, we often focus on the "how" of our craft, but beyond the "how" is a "why." And there's a profound connection between understanding God's creative purpose and unlocking our own creative potential.As we unpack these ideas, which we explore in depth in our new YouVersion reading plan "The Creator's Purpose", you'll gain a fresh perspective on your artistic calling. You'll learn to see your creativity not just as a skill, but as a divine gift with profound purpose.Want to read our new YouVersion bible reading plan with our community?
