    How to Turn Your Art Into Products People Actually Buy ft. Angie Chua | Episode 4

    How do you turn something you love making into an actual business? This week on Creator Juice, we sit down with Angie Chua, founder of Bobo Design Studio, to talk about what it really takes to build a creative, product-based business from scratch. Angie didn't start with a business degree, formal art training, or some perfectly mapped-out entrepreneurial plan. She started by teaching herself how to sew so she could make Christmas gifts when money was tight. Friends told her she should sell what she was making, and that small side hustle eventually grew into Bobo Design Studio. Today, Angie designs stationery, creates the Wanderlust Passport travel journal, and runs a brick-and-mortar stationery store in Palm Springs. In this episode, we get into the entire journey: building a business while working a demanding corporate job, finding product ideas by solving your own problems, putting money behind physical inventory before you know whether it'll sell, quitting a successful career, developing a loyal niche audience, opening a retail store, and figuring out how to keep going when entrepreneurship gets hard. We also talk about why perfection can easily become procrastination, why your first product should be something you genuinely want yourself, and why grit might ultimately matter more than talent. In this episode: • How Angie accidentally became an entrepreneur• Building a side hustle while working a 9-to-5• Knowing when it's time to leave your corporate career• How the Wanderlust Passport was created• Finding product ideas by solving your own problems• Sharing your creative process online• The financial risk of launching physical products• Why perfection can become procrastination• Creating a minimum viable product• Building for a small, loyal audience instead of everyone• Staying focused when you have too many creative interests• Why analog creativity still matters• Finding mentors and peers who understand your journey• Going from artist to business owner• Building a brand around a real person• What artists get wrong when designing products for retail• Choosing your first physical product• Why creative entrepreneurs need grit• Angie's advice for anyone building something creative If you're an artist, designer, creator, or entrepreneur who has ever thought, "Could I actually turn what I make into a business?" — this episode is for you.

    Building a Creative Career by Just Keeping Going ft. Adam the Illustrator | Episode 3

    What does it actually cost to keep showing up online, every single day, for years? This week on Creator Juice, we sit down with Adam Bosley — the Toronto-based illustrator known online as Adam, the Illustrator, whose bold, feel-good artwork celebrating friendship, mental health, and creative exploration has built a following of more than 800,000 people. Adam built his signature style out of a pandemic-era habit of illustrated "how-to guides," and turned it into six years of showing up, two to three times a week, without fail. In this episode, we get into the real cost of showing up online every single day, what it's like watching the algorithm work against you, and Adam's brutally honest take on AI. We talk about: Why he almost made a bitter, cynical guide to 2020, and switched the tone at the last minuteHow a pandemic hobby of illustrated "how-to guides" became Adam, the IllustratorWhy he still thinks of himself as an artist and designer before a content creatorWhat it's really like watching the algorithm work against youWhy he's gone to therapy to deal with the pressure of showing up onlineThe crayon drawing from his six-year-old niece that made him want to retireAdam's honest, unfiltered take on AI as a working illustratorHow to protect your creative career in the AI eraWhy "happy mistakes" matter more than perfectionBuilding in-person community through his Toronto doodle sessionsTurning his characters into physical toysHis dream of throwing a full art showWhy he believes it all comes down to just stacking days Whether you're building a creative career of your own, feeling the weight of the algorithm, curious about where AI fits into creative work, or just need a reminder that consistency pays off, this episode is packed with practical advice and heart. 🎙 Creator Juice is the podcast where creators share the real stories behind building careers, brands, and opportunities through creativity.
