[BONUS] Creative Independence on The Accidental Creative Feb 10, 2022

Show notes

Last week I was featured on The Accidental Creative, a podcast hosted by Todd Henry since 2005. It’s one of the most influential and important podcasts out there for creative professionals, and I was honored to be a guest. And it’s great for the show too – I’m sure a lot of new listeners found Creative Elements by listening to that episode.

In this episode we talk a lot about Creative Independence – a topic I care a lot about and think YOU will too. We all seem to strive for financial independence...but I think creative independence is an even more important goal for a lot of us, and I think you’ll see why.

Episode #85 with Todd Henry

Show notes

Wes Kao is co-founder of Maven, the first platform for cohort-based courses. Maven helps creators build a cohort-based course and deliver an incredible student experience at scale.

She designed the altMBA's beloved coaching system, grew the global community, built the marketing engine, and built a team of 40 people to support rapid scaling.

In this episode, we talk about Wes’s early experiences building cohort-based courses, how you can decide whether teaching a CBC is right for you, the frameworks you can use to design your course curriculum, and why Rigorous Thinking helps her to build quickly without wasting time on failed experiments.

[BONUS] Resonance Revisited with Jay Acunzo on Unthinkable Jan 06, 2022

Show notes

I recently started a mini-series of episodes on the show called Jay-Talking with my friend Jay Acunzo. Those episodes are intended to be a little more raw and really feel more like you are a fly on the wall listening to a conversation between the two of us.

Well, Jay recently had me on HIS show, Unthinkable, to continue the Jay-Talking series.

We are talking about one of his favorite topics, the idea of Resonance. As Jay likes to say, marketing isn't about who arrives, it’s about who stays.

We chatted about Resonance and how he can talk about that topic in a way that resonates with guys like me who may NOT yet be focused as much as resonance as we are on reach or revenue.

It’s a fun conversation, and so I’m going to share the episode in it’s entirety today on the feed.
