Ep 267: Jamhot co-founder Graeme McGowan on the creative industry landscape in the latest revolution
Was there ever a good time to start a business?
Jamhot and I both entered the creative industry during the financial crash of 2008. Do we now look back and make a distorted comparison to the insanity of today? Or do we recognise that there was never a good time to throw ourselves into this creative life?
We discuss:
- Storytelling and surviving
- Receiving reckless emails
- Being open to change
- Lunch clubs and the need for in-person community for optimal creativity
- Not forming ideas from assumptions
- Balancing rest and productivity
