It's unavoidable. You know you need to post on social media to promote your creative projects —but the process is just.... exhausting.

For podcasters, musicians, writers, dancers, and creatives like you who wear every hat, producing consistent content - especially video - is like getting on a never ending hamster wheel.

Whether you're a solo podcaster trying to grow your show on YouTube Shorts, or a singer promoting your latest single with behind-the-scenes clips, one thing is clear: you’re expected to become a full-time video editor—on top of everything else you do.

What This Episode Unpacks:

• Why artists are burning out trying to keep up with video-first platforms
• How the pressure to constantly edit and post clips kills creativity
• The myth of needing a full studio team to “do video right”
• How to solve your content bottleneck using the power of AI video tools like Vizard without breaking your budget

Think LinkedIn is just for job seekers or corporate professionals?

That perspective might be costing you daily, every time you don't show up there.

In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on why LinkedIn is quickly becoming one of the most powerful platforms available to creators — musicians, podcasters, writers, and artists alike.

While the majority of creators are chasing trends on Instagram or TikTok, LinkedIn offers a fresh way to build meaningful relationships, connect with decision-makers, and open doors that actually matter.

Plus, you'll get a sneak peek at an upcoming masterclass with LaShonda Brown, where you’ll learn how to jump into LinkedIn confidently and authentically, building networks that fuel your creative career.

Whether you’re skeptical or just curious, this episode will change how you think about LinkedIn — and give you the inspiration you need to show up in on a platform that will reward your creativity and authenticity with opportunities for income and influence.

Do you know WHY you are here?

That's a BIG question that deserves a powerful answer - especially as a faith-focused creative. God gave you a special gift and you should embrace the purpose you've born to fulfill.

The biggest question? How can you actually live in a way that will achieve your God-given purpose?

To help you discover and embrace your God-given purpose, we're joined by Josefa Benjamin, founder of the Born on Purpose Project. Josefa's journey from a 30-year career in law enforcement to creating a movement dedicated to helping others find their purpose is nothing short of inspiring.

You'll gain powerful insights on:

• Recognizing the difference between a job and a calling
• How to listen for God's guidance in unexpected places
• The courage it takes to step into your purpose, even when it's scary

This conversation is packed with wisdom for any creative questioning their path or feeling stuck in their current situation. Josefa's authenticity and practical advice will help you to take your next step toward living out your purpose, even if the full picture isn't clear yet.
