Podcast, Publish and Profit: Building Multiple Streams as a Creative Entrepreneur
---------------


Welcome to another episode of Minding My Creative Business, the go-to podcast for creative entrepreneurs who want to master strategy, structure, and self-development. In this episode, hosts ShySpeaks and Ron "iRonic" Lee Jr. sit down with Jonathan Speaks Jones—an accomplished author, coach, and podcast host—to unpack the real business of creativity. Jonathan shares his journey from paying his own father $5,000 to write his first book, to building a thriving brand through writing, speaking, and of course, podcasting.

You'll hear candid reflections on the belief and investment required to turn creative ideas into profitable ventures. Jonathan dives into the evolution of his business, breaking down how he leveraged his books to kickstart a speaking career, the power of bundling products and services, and the nuts-and-bolts of launching and monetizing a successful podcast. From finding your authority voice to practical advice for structuring your workflow, this conversation is packed with actionable insights.

Whether you’re an author, a speaker, or someone looking to build a brand through podcasting, this episode has something just for you. Plus, discover why charging family for your expertise could be the best lesson in valuing your time, and get inspired to move from sitting on your “dope ideas” to actually doing the work.
So grab your notepad, tune in, and learn what it really takes to mind your creative business.
