My Creative Entrepreneurship Journey and a New Blog Interview Series
The journey continues….
Since embarking on the creative entrepreneurship journey that is FreelanceMikey, I’ve been inspired on a daily basis by starting out doing relatively small jobs with big impacts. Where so many other people live for the weekend, I’ve learned to treat my weekdays ast days to be lived. Now, I spend my days helping ambitious people fulfill their need to get their creative ideas out into the world and I’m thankful for it every day. From creative writing and editing assisting clients with plays, screenplays, memoirs and novels, to the more specific personal one-on-one consulting to help propel personal and professional confidence in my clients, each job and each client gives me a variant on a practiced and consistent sense of purpose in what I do—not just as a creative and entrepreneur but as a air-breathing human being who likes to help people. To this point, my music and audio mixing work has been one of the most rewarding parts of my creative work: making music mixes and mashups for personal use for everything from wedding songs to dance recitals—and even a routine for America’s Got Talent got wrangled in there somewhere. In all cases and get the great privilege to help my clients dream just a bit bigger and express a deep love for what they’re doing. It’s a rich reward I will never ever take for granted in the least.

Updated 5/23/18: New Blog Interview Series Coming! Conversations About Creating with Michael LaPenna
(We are slightly delayed due to the tornado-like weather that hit the New York area last week. Thanks for being awesome and patient).
Do you like art at 45 degree angles? Do you like people who paint spaceships and sing jazz? Do you like yoga AND psychology? So often, creativity is thought of as a static thing like painting, theatre, music, writing, and the like—but what about what's between those nooks and crannies, between the cracks, the twilight between all these?
I'm interested in the inspiration behind creative work and the lives inspired by that spark.
New things are coming your way and evolving starting with a new blog interview series called Conversations About Creating. Conversations About Creating will explore everything from creative yoga for for healing mental trauma, to neo jazz funk music artists to make you love life just that much more!
