Ep. 41: Building Creative Independence (Jay Clouse, Creative Companion)
This week our guest Jay Clouse joins us to discuss his work as a full-time creator. That life as a creator is made up of working on his podcast “Creative Elements,” where he interviews creators, a newsletter, and online courses and workshops too.
In this episode, we sat down with Jay to talk about his creative endeavors and how he brought them to life, the benefits of having a podcast (even if you’re a total beginner.) Plus we cover the first thing he’d do if he was at the beginning of building an online business, and more.
