Aligned Values & Creative Business (Mark Pasternack)

entrepreneurship mental health Feb 27, 2023

"You can be a leader wherever you are at."

As creatives, we want to be successful, right? But that word can feel like a never-ending pursuit. When you get a little further along in your life, maybe with a family and “grown-up responsibilities” it can be difficult trying to figure out how to strike a balance between your work, your family, and this never-ending pursuit of “success”.

Today I sat down with my friend Mark Pasternack, a filmmaker, who is passionate about building financially sustainable businesses and helping families work well together. We discussed setting goals that are aligned with the lifestyle you want, making space to be a HUMAN (we have to be reminded about that sometimes don't we?), and how to find a community of like-hearted people who will better you every step of the way. Hope this conversation encourages you that there is no one path to success. We define it. We are creators, aren’t we?

FROM TODAY'S EPISODE:

Building a creative business that doesn’t run you.
Systems and processes to balance work and family
Challenging what we are told “success” means
