Welcome back to another episode of the Hella Chisme Podcast

This week we diver bak into a conversation with Ryan and Mike Brown.

The dream you're chasing shouldn't cost you your peace or your rent.

On our 100th episode, we sat down with multidisciplinary creatives Ryan (visibility coach, founder of Get a Grip, host of Lion Ryan) and Mike Brown (award-winning podcast producer, creator of The Art of Letting Go) for the conversation most creatives avoid: how to keep making art when the algorithm, the bills, and the burnout all want a piece of you.
