Creating Value With Your Work
If I ever make one thing clear on this show is that there’s no one-size-fits-all creative career path.
What works for me may not work for you.
What works for you may not work for someone else.
What you can do is keep your mind open, share your story/process, and speak from experience.
This alone helps you create value and contribute to the creative community.
Today’s guest, my good friend Eric Friedensohn, AKA Efdot, has blazed his own creative path over the years.
He’s a Brooklyn-based muralist, educator, merch slanger, fine artist, skateboarding savant, and freelancing wizard who’s collabed with big baller brands like Topps, Vayner Media, Pat Flynn, Skillshare, ConvertKit, and more!
More importantly, he’s a critical thinker and incredibly supportive friend.
In today’s episode, Efdot and I chat about:
The importance of patience and exploration.
How to create value and communicate it.
Finding your style through play.
The different levels of niching.
Tips for getting started selling your work, and more.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed and looking for a sign that you’re on the right path, then we got you covered like a blanket with this one.
