#5 - Infusing Creativity Into Your Career, with Creative Career Coach Juliet Barrett
Career Therapy Podcast e.5 - Infusing Creativity Into Your Career, with Creative Career Coach Juliet Barrett
For Career Therapy Podcast episode 5, we welcome creative career coach Juliet Barrett to the show.
Juliet is a self-proclaimed “incubatress of ideas,” and in this conversation, she and Martin discuss their shared interest in overcoming mental blocks. Juliet also talks about how she became a creative career coach after stints in television, broadcasting (at PBS), and professional mural painting.
Later on in the conversation we learn about Martin’s past as the singer of a ska band, and how he used that exact story in interviews. The two also touch on such taboo topics as tattoos, death metal songs (“The Slam Dance”), and how to put items such as “professional poker player” on your resumé. It’s a fascinating discussion for anyone looking to start their own business or rebrand themselves.
