Unpopular Opinions Every Author & Artist Needs to Hear

I’ve been in the creative marketing space for over 10 years, and there are some opinions I’ve sat on for a long time: things I believe but don’t always say. Today, I’m saying them. Some of these might ruffle feathers. Some might be things you’ve thought yourself but haven’t heard anyone say out loud yet. Either way, I think they’re worth talking about. Whether you’re an author, artist, or maker, some of these might make you think twice... In this episode, I reference another podcast episode that pairs well with this discussion.
