068: Balancing Creativity and Business with Alex Palumbo of Slack Tide Films

I welcome filmmaker Alex Palumbo of Slack Tide Films to the podcast this week to talk about how he uses film to help other creatives communicate with potential clients. Alex shares his journey with film, which didn’t initially begin as a full time job for him, but he was able to successfully make the transition from corporate life to creative. We both discuss the challenges of running a creative business, and how hard it can be to strike the right balance between running a business and actually spending time making your art. Many interior designers face this same challenge, so we share how we are managing to build a better balance for ourselves.Guest Bio Alex Palumbo lives at the intersection of commercial and documentary storytelling. He is a filmmaker and photographer who searches for truth and showcases human stories through a lens of authenticity.His films have been featured at film festivals around the world. And his camera is how he connects best with others.
