#3 Pivoting With Ease Into Creativepreneurship

Years ago Steven and John were two guitarists in and out of bands wanting to change the direction of their creative careers. This journey would lead them to become producers and then content curators. Through this journey, they've both had to find ways of preparing for the shifts in their careers. This episode goes over the lessons Steven and John learned on shifting careers and how the book Pivot by Jenny Blake takes 10 years of hard life lessons in pivoting and gives a blueprint on how any creative can make the jumpy from part-time to full-time without going poor and starving themselves.
