"Good little girl mentality goes back to the myth of the meritocracy" He urges people to let go of their desire to be told what to do so they can get a gold star.

Hey hey babes — this week we're welcoming my friend & collaborator, grace allerdice, back to the pod for a conversation at the intersection of creative practice and self-employment.

Grace and I have a chat about what's been happening in our businesses lately, then discuss what it means to be a creator-led business, how constraints help our creativity flourish, and why we want to make less content, not more.

Join us for a friendly chat between two business BFFs, then click here to get on the mailing list for Living Systems. 🌬
