Creative Elements talks with today’s top creators. Through narrative interviews, Jay Clouse explores how creators like Tim Urban, James Clear, Tori Dunlap, and Codie Sanchez are building their audiences today. Not what worked 2, 5, or 10 years ago, but specific strategies and tactics that are working for them today. You'll also hear the specific elements of their personality, style, or approach that have helped them succeed – elements like focus, vulnerability, revision, and constraints. By learning how these creators make a living with their art and creativity, you'll gain the tools and confidence to do the same.
