0:07.4

I don't care if you're sitting in your car.

0:08.8

If you're jogging down the path, if you're lying in bed, listen to this.

0:13.1

Put your hand in the air if you are a creator or an entrepreneur and you've ever had questions around pricing.

0:28.0

I mean, like everybody who I know has had questions about pricing, yours truly included.

0:36.7

And I spent, I don't know, 20 years or so actually figuring out how to navigate that. And in today's micro show, I take a live call from Katie,

0:43.4

who is a creator and who we do go deep on pricing. Now, Katie happens to be a photographer,

0:52.2

but I believe that there is very tactical advice I give her

0:57.0

specifically about photography, but there's conceptual advice around how to think about pricing,

1:02.6

which really helps, I think, cement your value as a creator and how you might want to think about it. So again, I know you're

going to love this show. And by the way, if you have topics that you want me to cover on the show

1:17.1

in a future micro show, I'll tell you what I'm going to give you my number and you can text me

tune into this conversation between yours truly and Katie the creator. Hey, before we get into the show,

1:50.7

1:56.3

crushing. Thanks so much to the support from you, this community. And so I got two asks. One, if you do not have the book, my goodness, I would invite you to pick it up. Again, it's called Creative Calling, available anywhere books are sold. I put my entire life, all my experience around creativity, entrepreneurship, about pursuing your dreams, getting unstuck to do the things

2:19.7

that we are put on this planet to do. So if you don't have a copy, please pick it up. And part two,

2:23.8

if you do have a copy, and right now you're going, yeah, yeah, I got it when you first wrote it,
