Staying true to oneself in the creative industry - Liz Mosley Mar 25, 2024

Show notes

"Even though you feel like you're seeing a lot of my life, you're only seeing 5%. You are seeing what I've chosen to show you. It is curated."

Radim Malinic interviews Liz Mosley, a designer and host of the Building Your Brand podcast. They discuss the importance of authenticity in social media and the misconceptions that arise from only seeing curated content. ~
Liz shares her experience with diversifying her income and the challenges of managing multiple streams of revenue. They also explore the balance between sharing personal and professional aspects of life on social media and the impact of oversharing.
Throughout the conversation, they emphasize the need for intentionality and staying true to oneself in the creative industry.

Key Takeaways:

Authenticity is crucial in social media, and it's important to remember that what is shared is often a curated version of someone's life.
Diversifying income can provide financial security, but it can also be distracting and overwhelming. It's essential to find a balance and focus on the income streams that align with your goals.
The concept of mystery in personal and professional life can be valuable, as it encourages curiosity and deeper connections.
Social media has both pros and cons, as it can inspire and spark creative ideas, but it can also lead to comparison and feelings of inadequacy.
It's important to set boundaries and be intentional about what is shared on social media, considering the impact on personal and professional life.

How often do you pause and ponder about the words you read?
