by The Creator's Journey
The Creator’s Journey is a podcast serving creative people who are committed to shipping their work. Each week, I’ll interview creative leaders who consistently push through the fears and obstacles that every creator faces to produce their work. Because ideas and inspiration by themselves are not enough to carry you through times of anxiety, we’ll talk about the processes that allow each guest to persevere when darkness settles around them and obscures both their light and direction. Please join me each week for the words of encouragement that our guests have to offer to challenge you to create – and ship – the work you do so that you can make an impact. I would be honored if you would share the show with one person who you believe would be encouraged by it. ~ Charles Gupton, Host
