Sixty-plus hour weeks. Nights spent catching up. That feeling of always being behind the eight ball.

That’s where these three creatives were when we started working together. Now one is on pace for 30% revenue growth, another has client retention climbing, and all of them have margin they didn’t have before.

None of them needed a bigger vision. They needed someone beside them to build the operations that could carry it, a way to protect their magic.

If you’re a creative who’s ready to go from accidental to intentional, let’s talk. You create. We operate.

Jump on a call today. Link in bio and comments.

Books are born out of other books.

Tomorrow I'm releasing a bonus chapter of Creative Work, and it's the shelf behind the book. We'll cover the four books every new Partner at Chief Creative Partners gets first, and the two that live on my desk every day.

Not a reader? Use them as coasters and get the audiobook.

Comment "pod" and I'll send you the link as soon as it's live.

Chief Creative Podcast. Running your creative business by design.

Dallas, I’m back.

SALT26 kicks off tomorrow, and I get to be on the workshop speaker lineup again. I’ll be honest, I never get tired of this. A room full of creatives, a lot of coffee, and people who are tired of making great work in the middle of chaos.

I’m teaching two workshops in the Creative Process track:

The 4D Creative Process. How to move a project through each phase, keep your team aligned along the way, and capture what you learned so you don’t relearn it the hard way next time.

The 12-Month Outlook. How to plan your year with Horizon Mapping, pick the initiatives that matter, and adjust when life (and clients) change the plan.

Both come from the same belief I hold with my clients: creative freedom works better inside a little structure.

If you’re at SALT, find me. I’d love to hear what you’re building and where it’s getting messy. (I promise I won’t make you fill out a spreadsheet.)
