136 - Influencers vs. Creators, and the Importance of Sharing Your Process

DSpeaksEpisode_136

This week Brandi interviews Sean Wes, a fellow creative, as he recounts his journey to teaching “the business side of art”. From sharing your “process”, to gathering inspiration (sound familiar?), Sean discusses how to achieve your goals and gain that creative and financial freedom we all so desperately crave as creatives.

” I think that a lot of people kind of discount the fact that getting through the things that might not seem good is how you get to the thing that will be good.” -BrandiSea
