Ep 37: Thriving or Surviving?

In this episode of The Creative Shit Show, we dive deep into surviving—and thriving—in today’s wild economic ride. From the feast-or-famine freelancing grind and pricing pressures to standing out with a killer portfolio, we’ve got you covered. We unpack how to niche down, turn past clients into a referral goldmine, and position your work to show real value. Plus, we tackle AI’s big shake-up—Midjourney, Canva, and beyond—and how designers can lean into strategy, intuition, and storytelling to stay ahead. Tune in for raw talk on networking, portfolio power moves, and the skills (hello, UI/UX and brand strategy) that’ll keep you in demand. Chaos? Sure. Opportunity? Hell yes. Listen now.
