The Independent Creator's Playbook
An arts podcast from Aaron Dowd
Includes transcripts
What does it take to be a professional content creator, musician, or podcaster? My name is Aaron Dowd, and in this show, I’m going to share everything I’ve learned about being an independent creator since I started recording podcasts, videos, and music back in 2010. I’ll take you on deep dives into lessons I’ve learned the hard way and talk candidly about gear, process, mindset, collaboration, struggles, overcoming obstacles, imposter syndrome, earning money, promoting your work, staying healthy, and so much more.
