Burnout is a huge issue for community theatre creatives. We have too much to do to keep our organisations running, let alone producing shows.

Today's episode was recorded after a day of meetings that had me fired up. I spoke with two very different Australian creatives (one a maker of theatre, the other a maker of beautiful things and both struggled to accept their value as the major element - the super power - of their own brand.

You're allowed to be proud of your work and, in fact, your passion for your creativity is what will connect with your audience and build your online presence.

I hope today's episode gets you excited about pursuing your creativity and sharing it with a world that so desperately needs it.
