Everyone says you should 'build an audience", so you try. But as you struggle to get attention, you feel more and more isolated from the people you want to share your God-given creative gifts with.

Is it possible that audience building is the problem, not the solution?

Focusing solely on audience building can be the fastest way to burnout, disconnection, and an unsustainable creative business. Here’s why:

1. It Creates a "Product Mindset" Instead of a People Mindset.
2. It Leads to Premature Burnout.
3. It Does Nothing to Build Connection Between Members.
   
   

In this episode, we break down why the audience-first mindset is hurting your growth—and what you can do instead to create lasting impact, deeper connections, and a business that doesn’t burn you out.

Hit play now and learn how to shift from chasing followers to fostering a thriving, engaged community that supports your creative work for the long haul.

Could you possibly achieve ALL your financial goals and yet be out-of-step with God's plan?

Many creatives struggle with money - either feeling like they don't have enough, or feeling guilty for wanting more of it. In both cases, the inability to manage money wisely and make sound financial decisions can drain your creativity - and create a wedge between you and God.

But if you can pursue the right goals with your money by seeking His will, everything could change. And that's what our guest will show you in this episode.

Our guest, Katie Jones, has dedicated much of her life to empowering individuals to manage their money in alignment with their faith. As a youth pastor's wife, mom, foster mom, a graduate of Colorado Christian University, avid traveler, real estate investor, and Certified Christian Financial Counselor, Katie's diverse experiences have shaped her understanding of the intersection between faith and finances.

In this episode you'll discover:

• Why paying off all of your debt may not give you the peace you desire
• Why Christian entrepreneurs often struggle to charge what they are worth
• The eye-opening way to change your perspective on money and budgeting
• How to decide which creatives dreams are your dreams and which are God's dreams for you.

Have you ever had customers who didn’t pay you on time - or at all?

It's the WORST. Doing your best work for a client - only to be left waiting for payment that never arrives.

It's a frustrating experience that can leave you feeling undervalued and discouraged. But let's be honest - are you setting yourself up to be taken advantage of?

In this episode, we tackle the thorny issue of non-paying clients head-on. As creatives, we often shy away from discussing money matters, but it's time to change that narrative. We'll explore practical strategies to ensure you get paid for your hard work, and how to set clear boundaries from the start.

What you'll learn in this episode :

• Why non-payment happens and how to prevent it
• How to communicate payment terms clearly
• Why certain payment methods might be encouraging clients to ignore you
