In today’s episode, Chris sits down with his business coach, Keir McLaren. They answer questions like what is the value of a business coach? And what exactly does a business coach do?

Creatives have a habit of perfecting their craft, so much to the point where they neglect the business side of things. Whether you’re an independent freelancer, or own your own studio, knowing how to grow your business, market yourself, and land new projects is crucial.

Unfortunately, that curriculum is not always offered in design classes. But a business coach can definitely help with that.

Keir McLaren is a creative business coach, and often works with creative entrepreneurs, just like Chris Do. He knows that there’s a gap in the education, where all the attention goes to the skill and artistry of making, instead of learning how to earn a sustainable living with that.

Keir shares his perspective on the changing tides of the industry, and how he helps creative entrepreneurs create new opportunities for growth.
