 On this week’s episode:

“I think sometimes we forget that [collaboration is] even an option until we are a part of community, because it’s like, well, ‘I work alone’.”  -BrandiSea

 

 

“We all have weaknesses, and when we can get together and share them, then there becomes this common language of being able to relate and fill those together.” -BrandiSea

Benefits to having a creative community:

—Talk through your ideas with people who understand

—Practice your sales “pitch” with people who can give constructive feedback 

—Get advice in areas that may not be your expertise

—Find ways to be mutually beneficial

—Use opportunities to learn something new
