Unleashing Your Inner Creative Badass
“What can you do today to move yourself one step forward?” asks Dave Conrey of FreshRag.com.
Dave’s story of resilience after being laid off from a twenty-year design career is a compelling example of reinvention. He turned a difficult career transition into a new path that supports creative entrepreneurs, and his generous, upbeat approach makes his lessons easy to apply. While much of his work focuses on helping people turn hobbies into sustainable businesses, the mindset and strategies he shares are relevant for anyone looking to create meaningful work.
One practical offering is Dave’s free Creative Badass Challenge, a short program filled with actionable steps designed to help you overcome common creative blocks. I took it and found it full of useful exercises that push you past hesitation and toward consistent progress.
Beyond his public work, Dave has been a friend and mentor to me. His technical know-how and steady guidance made launching Harder to Kill Radio far simpler than it otherwise would have been — I’ve lost count of how many times his help saved the day.
In This Episode of Harder to Kill Radio, You’ll Hear:
- How to find and sustain creative flow.
- How to envision and shape your ideal work.
- Mindset techniques Dave uses to shift away from the “starving artist” narrative.
- What it’s like to be considered unemployable by traditional standards, and how to use that as an advantage.
- How to thrive in a relationship-driven, “thank you” economy.
- Why Dave chose his primary creative medium and how it supports his business model.
- The three fundamentals that make a creative business resilient and profitable.
