PODCAST INTERVIEWS
“Preparing for the creative industries” with Tawsif Akkas and State of the Creators Podcast
“Kerrie Allen is best known for helping creators connect to the industry.
She also works as a consultant for small to medium businesses, and also has a product line under the label of ‘hey control freak’ which sells products aimed to help business owners to control their chaotic life. So we talk a little about running a business too.
This episode is going to be slightly different because Kerrie is not a creator in the traditional sense the likes of whom I usually have on this show.
We speak a bit about Kerrie’s journey, what it means to be creative in a business landscape, and what you need to do to prepare for the creative industry.”
