“Once you launch in, there’s no going back.” Paula Wallace is the Founder and President of the Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD) - a world leading comprehensive university for creative professionals. Paula invented SCAD in 1979, and she has most definitely not looked back.   Paula has continued to reinvent the way we learn and the way we teach the combination of creative, art, business and now even AI. She writes her own rules.   In this episode, Paula and Amy Jo talk through Paula’s formula for reinvention, her approach to how she makes decisions and what Paula is seeing with AI on the horizon.   You’ll also hear Paula’s fascinating Why Not Now? moment, which is the origin story of SCAD, as well as the pillars that have guided Paula through multiple big changes over time, and why starting with the past is so important when you begin your approach to reinvention.   Lastly, Paula shares the trends that she feels will truly shape the next few years and beyond.   Paula is a Renegade in every sense of the word. Her new book “Lessons In Leadership” is out now.

This is the final episode of Amy Jo’s 3 part series all about reinventing your relationship time and money. We encourage you to listen to Part 1 (Ep 313) and Part 2 (Ep 314) before pushing play on Part 3. In this last installment, Amy Jo focuses on the money side of things. To be clear, this is not investment advice, but you will learn how to potentially earn more and save more. Amy Jo shares her specific money story and how that has changed over the last ten years. The net/net? Sacrifice does not equal success. Period. Our earning potential is highest when we are expanding our capacity and optimizing our bandwidth. Sometimes that means spending money to create more time. Amy Jo explains how. She also shares what she is looking at specifically in her budget, and how she uses that data to determine if she is operating at her full earning potential. You’ll learn the importance of assigning a value to your hours, and start making decisions based on the value of your time, as well as the difference in approaching finances from a confident place as opposed to doing so out of fear, and with a scarcity mindset. Finally, Amy Jo takes you through the 5 Renegade Rules as a refresher so you can apply the rules to what you’ve learned over the last 3 episodes and beyond.
