This episode's guest is close friend and longtime collaborator Isaiah Colthrust known online as Isaiah Improves. Isaiah's creativity takes many forms, most notably on his YouTube channel where he documents his journeys of self-improvement while giving his viewers actionable ways to grow along with him.
He's also a professional in marketing and digital enterprise, graduating with distinction from one of Canada's most prestigious universities in the field. I've been very lucky to regularly pick his brain on how to creatively bring value to different audiences and domains.
Most importantly though, this conversation gives you some of his tremendous insights into hidden opportunities in today's content landscape, as well as some ways to juggle a prolific creative schedule while also working a demanding day job.
