4: The League of Creative Minds




Mountain Shores: The (Un)Productivity Podcast show

Summary: In an act of courage, Milo takes on chatting with not one but two Germans in this episode. With web designer and illustrator Markus Freise, we met on Skype to discuss Markus’ decision to ditch a well-paid and safe job as CEO of a web design agency in order to become a freelancer. Anticipating the inception of a defense league against office boredom, we talk about how to turn competitors into clients, the job descriptions of creative minds, self-responsibility, and how to learn to play tennis. (Spoiler: You learn to play tennis by playing tennis!)
