About this episode

the creator economy is worth $250 BILLION dollars, so it’s safe to say THERE IS MONEY TO BE MADE, but let’s be soooo for real about the other side of “making a lot of money” as a creator (or should i say creator CEO). this episode is part 2 of the raw, unfiltered lessons from scaling to half a million dollars as a creator ceo. here’s what i wish i knew:

1. you won’t always get the recognition you think you deserve—keep going anyway

2. hustle is addicting, just bc something is “familiar” to do, doesn’t mean it’s the best way to do something.

3. it’s one thing to make money, it’s another to manage it: your mind needs to catch up to your bank account

4. there’s a lot of waiting

5. don’t rely on brand deals

6. people-pleasing will hold you back

7. taxes are actually the worse thing ever (i cried)

8. success may not feel like what you imagined

9. cultural expectations around money make things complicated

10. grit is IT!!!
