If I had a dollar for every time I heard of a creative who wanted to pivot, my life would look quite different.

Here's how it usually goes.

You start your business from a passion, but along the way an idea or an opportunity comes to you that feels bigger and better than the last.

So before you know it, you're pivoting or diversifying and wondering if you've lost your mind.

Maybe, but isn't that what makes the best creatives?

Jokes aside, the branding messaging of the world encourages you to niche, focus, get specific, and that can leave multi-passionate creatives

feeling like they're doing something wrong.

Welcome to Being Boss, a podcast for creatives, business owners, and entrepreneurs who want to take control of their work and live life on their own terms. I'm your host, Emily Thompson.

And from one multi-passionate creative to another, there's nothing wrong with you. You've just got to know how to work with what you've got,

especially when what you've got is a lot. In today's episode, I wanted to talk with you about being a multi-passionate creative business owner,

and to help me have this conversation to either fuel you on your journey ahead or maybe even talk you down from a couple of big ideas. I invited two multi-passionates

along for the ride. You'll hear from Deanna Joy Spencer, a Being Boss Community

member who you'll hear us referring to as both Deanna and Joy throughout this episode,

who's a multi-passionate educator community builder and content creator who believes

having many passions is a gift, not a burden.

Her mission is to rewrite the narrative around choosing one thing,

being the only path to success.

Through her content, live workshops and online community, Joy teaches multi-passionates how to make

friends with focus, craft impactful personal brands, and live a life of creative abundance.

But yes, she also designs and sells products

and I'm a proud owner of a couple of her shirts,

which you'll love too if you're a creative,
