How do you start up your own creative business with just your own capital, and transition that from hobby to part-time work with employees under you? Well, luckily today’s guest has that blueprint worked out.
In today’s Season Finale, Danette chats with Founder of the zine More Than Melanin, as well as being the associate producer of Melbourne’s Emerging Writer’s Festival. And she is also the social media manager for Magical Learning.
They chat about how siblings and cousin can teach us to be better collaborators, how building a platform to amplify people actually gives you more opportunities, and how we can all manage difficult conversations a bit better.
