Ep: 317 - How having a Full-time Job allows Cory Brown to be an Artist
Most of us dream about quitting our full-time jobs in order to do what we love. In fact, that might just be why you are listening to this very podcast. But what if, instead of thinking of your full-time job as the thing holding you back from being creative, you approached it from the perspective of the thing that allows you to be creative. Maybe not necessarily while doing that job (although this week’s guest one could argue gets to do that too), but thanks to the reliability of that job - you get to make whatever you want to make. Whatever you are most curious about. Without worrying about whether or not you can sell it…
If the conversations here on the podcast leave you asking more questions rather than answers, checking out The Community just might be the best next step for you. The Community is our online membership where makers from all over the world join in supportive dialogue to figure this all out. Rather than the free-for-all posts of the massive Facebook groups out there, The Community has intentional monthly themes where we can dig deep on anything from Instagram (our June theme) to pricing (last month’s theme) to finding your ideal clients (our theme happening right now!).
If you’ve been feeling like trying to crowdsource answers to questions on the internet has been wasting yoru time, and scouring through endless YouToube videos haven’t really answered the questions either - this is the place for you! Learn more at makersplaybook.com/community
