www. Being boss dot club.

Okay Kathleen I have a challenge for us today.

What is it?

Let's not talk business.

Yay!

As much as possible, I think we need to like maybe use the word a couple of times to draw proper comparisons,

but like not talking business is the name of this episode. of where all you're doing is being a creative. So let's talk about that instead.

I'm stoked to talk about this because creativity is one of my core values.

Same.

Since I was little and it extends so much beyond business and I think that we've been lucky

that we've been able to monetize our creativity along the way but whenever we get back down to the essence of who we are and what we're doing here

on this planet Earth, it's about being creative.

Right, and we spend so much time talking about business and the importance of business and

the importance of understanding how business works, especially as creative business

owners or entrepreneurs. Being a business owner is important.

And we have been here talking about business because,

no, whenever we started this podcast, there was no one talking about creative business.

Like we were the first one showing up and talking about what it was like to be a creative and to use your unique

skill set to make money for yourself on your own terms. So we sort of built a platform for ourselves talking about business and that is what everyone has really encouraged you and everyone is talking about business these days, I feel like.
