Cashing in on Creativity Returns After 4 Year Hiatus
07/31/2025
Cashing in on Creativity Returns After 4 Year Hiatus
Cashing in on Creativity Returns After 4 Year Hiatus It was 2021 when the last podcast episode of the Cashing in on Creativity Show aired on local podcast platforms. We were in the middle of a pandemic that the World had never seen before and during that pandemic I had started an internet radio station for my trucking podcast. At the time I had a lot of musicians on the podcast and I found the content was starting to mix together. Cogeco’s Your TV picked up the Cashing in on Creativity Podcast for their Summer run of the television shows and still continues to this day. So I now had two shows airing on television, Inspiring Youth TV and Cashing in on Creativity and I was fairly focused on Inspiring Youth at the time. With no clear plan for Cashing in on Creativity I stopped producing new content for the show and just sent old episodes to YourTV. The pandemic however took a toll on guests for Inspiring Youth and after a couple years we have decided to end producing the show and just revive current content as support for the youth community. Where does that leave us? We stopped producing Inspiring Youth, we have found our focus on Lead Pedal Radio so that content is not conflicting with this podcast, and we have renewed our content plan with Your TV. Most of all working with many artists we have seen a need for help in marketing since the pandemic people have been trying to follow their passions, but aren’t sure how. That’s why we renewed the Cashing in on Creativity Podcast and eventually will turn it into a course to help creative people even more. This means after four years we have to start from scratch again rebuilding profiles and our audience but with a new sense of direction we feel we have a strong chance of success. So join us for the journey and thank you keeping the faith with the Cashing in on Creativity Podcast.
