    Navigating AI and uncertainty as a creative business/freelancer
    Mar 17 2026

    On today's episode I chat with graphic designer Izzy from House of Wynn to discuss how she has been coping as a creative freelancer in these uncertain times. With the rise of AI, change of political leaders and economic uncertainty, it's a tough time to be a creative entrepreneur and freelancer right now. Izzy generously shares how she bounced back from losing almost all of her clients over night when a new ChatGTP feature came out and what she had to do to keep her business afloat. This episode is a breath of fresh air, sharing the real stories of what it's like to be a small business right now and both Izzy and I offer our business coaching tips on how to navigate the fast paced change.
