005 - Drawing Maps & Starting a Blog with Brenton of Lightheart Adventures

This is Episode 5 of Roll Play Grow, the podcast for tabletop rpg entrepreneurs, creators, and fans. I am Courtney of Lightheart Adventures, and in this podcast, we talk to the creators behind the brands in the tabletop role play gaming space about who they are and how they are turning their passion for gaming into a career. Today’s episode looks a little different. I mentioned back in Episode Zero that I’d be bringing Brenton on to chat with me about Lightheart Adventures, and today we’re going to take a look at a lot of the lessons we’ve learned over the last year. Interviewing your spouse and business partner is a bit of an amusing time when you know most of the answers, so it definitely turned into a bit more of a discussion as we went on. Some of the topics we go into are why our first DM’s Guild publications completely bombed and what we’re doing differently now, tactics Brenton’s using to get past his dislike of social media, the value of growing your email list, blogging with consistency, and the journey your art style can take.Before we dive in, I wanted to make sure you know about Found Familiar coffee.
