Hello and welcome to Being Boss, a podcast for Creative Entrepreneurs.

I'm Emily Thompson and I'm Kathleen Shannon.

I'm Julia Kurt and I'm being boss.

Hey guys, if you've been thinking about your role as a creative, but also as a citizen in this political landscape that we're experiencing right now,

this episode is for you.

We're speaking with Julia Kurt.

Julia is an experienced community leader who has led statewide nonprofit

organizations for more than 18 years. She currently serves as the

executive director of Oklahoma's For the Arts. Her organization works with the state legislature and municipalities

to support public investments and arts education across Oklahoma. Julia is

also running for State Senate in Oklahoma's District 30 because she cannot stand on the sidelines anymore.

So I hope that this episode inspires you guys as much as it inspired me. You can find all the resources and links we

mention on our show notes at www. Being Boss. Club or sign up for our

newsletter and we'll deliver them straight to your inbox.

All right, can we talk about customer service for a second?

One of my biggest pet peeves of all time is calling a company only to talk to a robot that doesn't understand what I'm saying

or being put on hold with elevator music for 10 minutes before I connect with a

real human being and who am I kidding sometimes that 10 minutes is more like an

hour. Freshbook's Cloud Accounting has an award-winning support team.

So not only are you going to be able to invoice your clients and get paid faster,

you're going to have a real human being who answers the phone when you call.

And they never treat you poorly, no matter how dumb your question is.
