  • 019: 4-Step Formula to Deliberate Practice

    11/10/2013 Duração: 46min

    Practice is good, but purposeful practice is better. Practicing deliberately is what will produce tangible results rather than mere passive improvement. Learn to set clear objectives to help squeeze more productive juice out of the time you already spend practicing.

  • 018: Like Count, Follower Numbers, & Value Perception

    09/10/2013 Duração: 41min

    Likes, and hearts, and shares—oh my! With running counters next to nearly everything you see, words like "worth" and "value" start to have diluted meanings. Let's look beyond the floating numbers above everyone's head for real value. Numbers are relative, and we must not let relativity misrepresent actuality.

  • 017: Perseverance & Finding the Drive

    04/10/2013 Duração: 47min

    Where does ambition come from? How do we stay motivated? Goals can help inspire us to take action and work towards something, but the source of long-standing perseverance cannot be derived from the goals themselves else it dissipates once the goal is reached. We must go deeper.

  • 016: Making Sure Things Get Done – Are you Setting the Right Goals?

    02/10/2013 Duração: 44min

    Often it seems like other people are getting a lot more done than we are. But what are they sacrificing? We all have limited time and doing one thing means giving up another. We have to set the right goals and sacrifice the right things to accomplish them. For all we know, someone else could be sacrificing personal health or family, yet all we see are the accomplishments. While it is dangerous to compare, sometimes seeing the success of others can provide a needed reality check on the various time-wasters we have that keep us from getting more done.

    27/09/2013 Duração: 35min

    25/09/2013 Duração: 41min

    Creating a reliable stream of revenue when it comes to an unconventional job requires a diversification of your income sources. I share a three-pronged approach to reliable income and making a living within a niche.

  • 013: You Design The Content

    20/09/2013 Duração: 40min

    I get "harsh" on being a professional and telling your clients that the content dictates the design. Aaron and I also respond to listener feedback on the topics of art vs. design, business, approaches to billing, payments, and of course, designing for the content.

  • 012: Quitting: What Are You Not Doing to Make Something More Important Possible?

    18/09/2013 Duração: 33min

    In a slight deviation from his usual pep, Aaron divulges the inherent struggles related to his desire to move to Austin. In what ends up being more of a low-key, personal discussion with Sean, the two discuss the difficulties of quitting what might currently be a good thing to make way for something potentially better.

  • 011: Defining the Right Type of Client

    13/09/2013 Duração: 41min

    Aaron and I record our first in-person show, and talk about how to define the right type of client. (Hint: it's going to be a lot more introspective than you think). Passion, Projects, Process, Professionalism, and bold statements like "There's no such thing as 'Clients from hell'" just scratch the surface of what was discussed in this super concentrated episode on selectivity.

  • 010: Why You Already Have a Personal Brand, and How You Can Shape It Instead of Letting It Shape You

    11/09/2013 Duração: 41min

    What story are you trying to tell? Does everything you do promote the impression you want to make? What you project determines your reputation. You have to ask yourself the right questions to keep your projections in line. You're either consciously shaping your personal brand, or subconsciously being shaped by it.

  • 009: The 3 Groups of People and How Learning Can Set You Apart

    06/09/2013 Duração: 28min

    We got to talking about learning and whether a love for learning is simply something you're born with or whether it can be acquired. Understanding the distinctions between the 3 different groups of people and where you fit in can help you position yourself for success by strategically choosing those with whom you surround yourself.

  • 008: Unlocking the Power of Value-Based Pricing (Hint: It’s More Than Flat Rates)

    04/09/2013 Duração: 01h13min

    Special guest Matt Riopelle joins us to tackle the challenging issue of Value-Based Pricing and charging what you're really worth. This simple-yet-freeing concept can help you break away from a purely effort-based compensation model that's focused on hourly time, or fixed rates. We discuss tailoring your pricing structure to effectively match the value of the results that you're providing to the client. This is a really big one, so hold onto your hats, it's about to get real!

  • 006: How to Know the Right Time to Ship What You’re Making

    28/08/2013 Duração: 46min

    Should you publish work you're not completely happy with? It can be hard to know if a project is ready to be launched or if it could use more tweaking. Sometimes you may have to decide if it should simply be scrapped altogether. Aaron and I discuss when you should be shipping, how to utilize time constraints to promote a consistent publishing schedule, and making practical use of perfectionism.

  • 005: Introversion & Making a Point to Build Relationships

    23/08/2013 Duração: 34min

    Connecting with other people is not only healthy, but a huge part of building your career. Aaron and I discuss the difficulties introverts face when it comes to networking, and how to overcome your default state in order to facilitate relationships. We also talk about personalities, and how knowing your own type can help you better understand your strengths and weaknesses.

  • 004: Guilt-Free Free Time

    21/08/2013 Duração: 43min

    Working, learning, relaxing... balancing all three can be a huge struggle. How do you know when to put in the overtime effort vs just allowing yourself to take a break? Great achievements often require more time investment than the status quo, but we mustn't lose sight of the important things in our lives (Hint: it's not work).

  • 003: How I Sold My First Business & What I Could Have Done Better

    16/08/2013 Duração: 01h07min

  • 002: Embracing Your Unique Voice in a World Where Everything Has Been Said

    14/08/2013 Duração: 34min

    It's a common excuse to say that you're not publishing your own content because you feel someone else has already said what you wanted to say, and far more eloquently than you might put it. But we talk about why you should be embracing your unique voice and how nothing out there is a wholly original idea anyway.
