  • Best brain boost!!

    This podcast helps me get through creative blocks, burnout, and other things I struggle with as a comic artist. It’s jam-packed with fun metaphors, wisdom, vulnerability, and knowledge built from interviews with other creatives, children’s books, marketing, psychology. It’s an everything-pizza of creative motivation. 🍕5/5 would eat
