Prestige or freedom: a turning point

I met Mel Mitchell-Jackson in the best way: through a newsletter ad, a ‘wanna chat?’ email, and many texts and virtual coffees since.

Today, they’re here to talk about their path from art school to working at Apple HQ to leaving that behind for creative self-employment.

Tune in to hear us explore:

• How to cultivate creative community
• The realities of what it takes to “make it” in art school & beyond
• Chronic illness, Long COVID & find a pace you can sustain
• 3 common traps of over-giving in online business
• Ways to center anti-capitalist values & praxis in your work
• The pros & cons of building an audience through Youtube
• & much more!
