So consider this your home for go-to advice, inspiring stories, tips, tricks and actionable strategies for your creative business.Hosted by Entertainment-preneur Blessie Pica and joined by special guests along the way, the heart of this podcast is to help millennials, the purpose driven creatives, entrepreneurs and do-gooders navigate through the process of going after your dreams. By design, this is the place where you are empowered to take the actions towards your curiosities, with alignment and fulfilment at its core. ]]></description>
