Ep.72 | Shootin’ Your Shot & Becoming a Full-Time Content Creator with LaShonda Brown, Tech Educator

Want to land MORE opportunities WITHOUT adding more pressure to grow your business online? If you’re nodding “YESSSSS” then this episode is for you.

LaShonda is truly a breath of fresh air in this online & digital creator space. Her approach is focused on BALANCE; working less & living more. And that’s def not something you hear too often from other full-time content creators lol

In this conversation, we pulled back the curtain on what it takes to create content on your OWN terms, whether that’s a full-time thing, like LaShonda, or creating content online for marketing purposes as a business owner.

We bounce around ideas between strategy & doing the outer work, while also tying that together with energetics & the inside work.

It’s truly a fantastic episode filled with different perspectives & the deeper layers of combining the online world, with the off-line world.
