© 2025 Passion To Profits - Make Money From What You Create
Description
You’re a creative expert. You might already be earning an income as a writer, author, videographer, photographer, filmmaker, musician, or artist. And you're looking to transition from being a freelancer for hire to monetizing your creative expertise.
Perhaps you’ve been thinking about starting a podcast, launching a product, building a course, writing a book, forming a community, starting a YouTube channel, or hosting a live event. You want to leverage your experience, skills, and knowledge to build new income streams for yourself so you can get out of the “rat race” - stop trading your time for money.
I get you. I'm married to a creative person. We've built several income streams together. And I work with creatives to package, price, and promote their expertise all the time.
On this podcast, I'll discuss and bring on guests to discuss proven frameworks (like marketing funnels, value ladders, marketing flywheels, and building communities from podcasts).
And, we're going to make it fun. In between all the serious talk, we're going to throw in some humor, dad jokes, to make this process playful and entertaining.
I'll coach creatives, in real-time on the show, how to transition from freelancer to expert. We'll discover together what income streams are right for you, so you can create new income streams and get paid whether you're working or not.

As part of my ongoing exercise in trimming and pruning my life, I spent the last 2 weeks prayerfully thinking about and writing down a Pro's and Con's list of the 18 things that I have been doing for work. That process helped me narrow my work-life down to 5 main areas of focus. And, I balance them with 1 main area of focus personally. I share it all in this 3rd-to-last episode of the Courage Cast before my long 5-month planned hiatus.

I've gotten so caught up in trimming, that I've forgotten to trim. You heard me right - I take a taste of my own medicine, via my wife. She hands me a doozy that really gets me thinking about the questions that help me to decide whether to trim something or not. Do I have the TIME for it? Do I have the TALENT for it? Do I have the PASSION for it?
Author, Joshua Medcalf recently posted this on Twitter... "None of us are getting out of here alive.
