The Mindful Creator Podcast
by Brett Henley: Writer + Storyteller + Content Strategist
For creative entrepreneurs, there will always be more finish lines to cross, more outcomes to achieve, and more rough edges to polish. Successfully navigating this wild age of opportunity is not always about what we do or how we do it, but whether we can show up to our work with confidence and stay present on the journey (both of which are critical to business and personal growth). With a healthy mix of up-and-comers and grizzled vets at my side – The Mindful Creator will explore what it takes to cultivate meaningful work without losing ourselves along the way.
