I WAS KIDNAPPED FOR THIS EPISODE. LOL

My good friend Tabitha ambushed me after her episode and decided to interview me instead, find out things I haven't thought of in a while about my life and my career as a creative living in Ghana. On this episode, I share my experience on my journey so far, where I'm headed and how some of the learnings I've picked up over the years as a creative entrepreneur can help other people grow as well. And oh, October is my birth month so if anybody wants to gift me with a free book or some animation courses online, i'd be grateful lol. Also, an apple watch won't be bad *coughs* Ok bye.

SOCIAL MEDIA & CREATIVE MENTAL HEALTH

Being a creator on today’s digital age requires that you put yourself and your work online.

CREATING CONTENT FOR STARTUPS

Playing the social media & content game can be a very tricky one. Especially if you're trying to sell goods or services. It can either be a blissful flow of dopamine as a results of lots of love and engagement or a sad cycle of never-ending experiments that leads to crickets all the time. In today's episode, we sit down with Yayra Nutakor, Co-Founder of Fooveo (a digital video marketing agency) and our one and only Instagram Queen of reels to discuss what small businesses and creative freelancers can do to grow their following, build community and most importantly generate leads from social media.

WHAT'S STOPPING YOU?

Being a medical doctor is not something that is normally simultaneous with art as a whole. The existence of this doctor friend of mine defies this 'sort of' unspoken rule over here that the sciences and the arts do not blend smoothly. He's a full-time doctor and a full-time CG Artist and on this episode, we take a look at his story and how this is even possible in the first place. But in the wise words of Dr. Onyina, "nothing is really impossible if you put your mind to it, there's always a way around it" A bit of a disclaimer: we're going to be geeking out a lot about some 3D terminologies and creative language. If you're not a 3D artist, please bare with us. There are still awesome gems to be picked from the episode regardless. As always, don't forget to take notes & share some of your learnings on social media. *wink *wink Find Yaw on the internet: @yaw_cg_md on Instagram Yaw Onyina on artstation Shameless Plug.

PERSONAL GROWTH & HOW IT UNLOCKS CREATIVITY

Personal growth and development is one thing not many people are very intentional about. We mostly grow into roles and narratives we're used to and comfortable in, but barely question why things are the way they are. In this episode, we hang out with Miss Tabitha, Mother of 4 creative dragons and a few cats, product designer, creative director, and pattern designer to find out how she began her journey to self-discovery. We also discuss how that journey reflects in her work and how she's able to juggle all her dragons without breaking down. lol As always, don't forget to take notes & share some of your learnings on social media. *wink *wink Her Favorite Podcasts: Enjoying Everyday Life by Joyce Meyer The Call to Mastery with Jordan Raynor A bit of Optimism by Simon Sinek Honestly, IDK (of course lol) The Futur with Chris Do Her Favorite Books: Kindly go Back and listen To the last 15 minutes of the podcast ;) Check out all Tabitha's baby dragons on the web Quest Handmade Accent Rattan Mindful Inking Geomadic Her Personal Instagram: @dearlytabby Shameless Plug.
