authenticity in business part 3
Today we’re playing devil’s advocate a little bit with authenticity and talking about the idea that you don’t have to show every aspect of your life for the sake of *authenticity*. Maybe the more boundaries we draw around our business, the more room we create to live a more full and honest life.

Why Creatives Suck at Making Money
Culturally photographers, graphic designers, artists, we just don’t make a lot of money? But, How many times have you heard that your job is easily replaceable? But who’s fault is it? Popular blogs will tell you that it’s “creatives not being assertive enough” or “creatives building themselves into a box”. And I’m calling bullcrap on it. Today we’re diving into the idea of where the norm of starving artists came from and how to change the narrative for good!

Money Hustle Culture in The Creative Industry
In this episode, we talk about the good and the bad messages we hear in the creative industry around money. On one side you hear "hustle and focus on money because it's the primary goal to get more sales" and then you hear the complete opposite "Money is greedy and evil, don't ever strive for it." So how do we balance the two messages and why is it important to talk about money as creatives?
This episode is a real deep authentic talk along with all of your opinions and ideas submitted to discuss!

GIMME THE MONEY: Client payment horror stories
In this episode, we share the great lengths that your clients went to, just to not pay you. You all submitted great stories, and it was so great sharing more reality of what creative entrepreneurship actually looks like!

Me, myself & I: introducing Carli Anna
I started my business at the tender age of 19 and I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I felt like a crazy wacko for having difficult clients, I couldn't get the client to pay, and felt compelled to do exactly what everybody else was doing to find success. Nobody was telling me any real solutions to find success *insert five vague and generalized ideas to get money freebie here*
So I started finding the only clues to success I could see, which was an aesthetic and business personality that I thought I needed to survive. Spoiler I survived but found myself incredibly unhappy, burnout and tired.
In this episode, we talk about why it's so important to be yourself and have fun in your business. The whole reason for this podcast

Welcome to C-E-OVER-IT
Just a good ole fun podcast for graphic designers. I'm Carli Anna and this is a chill podcast for those who want to have fun and make badass money. We'll be sharing cringy stories, hilarious advice, and decent commentary. Want to know what other graphic designers' worst "oh crap" moments were? Or some of the worst advice they've ever received? We're not going to be sharing wholesome how-to guides, we're just going to get super real about creative entrepreneurship while having a ton of fun.
