Join Jason Murray, Creative Director and lifelong maker, as he dives deep into the art and business of creativity. This episode explores the power of ownership, the process of building your own IP, and what it really takes to grow a creator business in today’s world. Whether you’re a designer, filmmaker, or entrepreneur, you’ll find insights and inspiration to turn your ideas into assets.

💡Takeaways

Ownership beats freelancing. Building IP you control creates sustainable leverage, while trading time for money keeps you stuck in the gig cycle
The Creative 2.0 mindset reverses the traditional service model. Instead of helping brands execute their ideas, create your own work first, then let brands attach themselves to what you own
Self-imposed limitations are the biggest barrier to growth. Most creatives already know what they need to do next but hold themselves back from taking action
Advertising insights translate directly to content creation. Finding unspoken human truths that make people see problems differently is what creates valuable, shareable content
Building a media business provides multiple paths forward. Even if content doesn't generate direct income immediately, it positions you as an expert and brings inbound opportunities
Following your interests matters more than picking a lane. Career paths naturally evolve when you pursue genuine curiosity rather than forcing yourself into predefined boxes
Life and career operate in seasons. What works now doesn't have to be forever, and giving yourself permission to experiment keeps momentum going
