We are continuing with the Where are They Now series. I expect I might get a little teary because my mom is not here for the first time in years, but I am going to do my best this week. I am getting to interview one of my favorite guests from the years. I have interviewed Scott Biersack, quite a few times over the 10 years of the podcast. 

Here are a few things I love about Scott:
1. He is willing to try new things
2. He loves learning
3. He is empathetic and hasn't had it easy, and isn't afraid to tell those hard stories
4. He is inspiring, he is willing to get dirty, and commit to practicing his craft on a weekly basis.

There are many other things and he has had lots of learning and changes since we last spoke in 2018. I hope you will join me for this episode.

At Creatives Ignite, we know that you want to be a focused, confident entrepreneur with clear direction. In order to do that, you need to get out of your head and learn from other creative entrepreneurs. The problem is you're a solopreneur with limited knowledge and experience on what your next steps need to be which makes you feel uncertain and alone. 

I believe every entrepreneur should be supported, challenged, and encouraged as they grow their business. I understand how overwhelming and demanding building a creative business can be because I have been growing my business for over 20 years. 

Find out more. So you can stop being stuck and doubting your value and your decisions and instead start seeing growth in your mindset and in your business.

Our guest this week is my good friend Dimi Lazarou. He is always pioneering new techniques and new technologies. He has been using AI (Artificial Intelligence) for years. He started making images before anyone else I knew was doing it. He has also figured out ways to use text and visual based AI to get the results he desires. 

This might scare you. As I write this there is a writers strike happening in America in the entertainment industry. Some of the writer's demands have to do with AI and how it is used in the industry. 

There are a lot of ways AI will be useful to us. There are some jobs that AI will render obsolete. As we continue to advance do you find yourself embracing new technologies or resisting? 

I hope it gives you a new perspective and helps you to understand more where you stand on the issue.

This week we go back to the archives, I interviewed Nathan first back in 2013 and the latest time was after he moved more to an illustration focus back in 2016. It will be great to catch up with Nathan this week and see where his business has been and where it is now. 

On this entrepreneurial journey there are a LOT of unknowns. We dive deep into this and what Nathan has held onto in these uncertain times. This episode will be centered around his faith and where his focus on Jesus in his life takes his business.

We continue with our Where Are They Now series this week with my friend Meena Khalili. I first met Meena when she was teaching graphic design and illustration at Virginia State University back in 2013.  

Meena has learned how to stand up for herself and has learned a lot about negotiations and sacrifice. She is a driven multi-faceted creative who is a mom and works with her spouse. Her story is inspiring and is full of experimentation. She is an artist who pivots, explores, and breaks out of boxes. Meena creates more than collage illustration which she is best known for, we will find out what she has been learning and researching.

Meena shares what how different her life is since we last talked in 2017.
