Hello my friend! I have some BIG news to share with you today. This podcast has a new name! This show is no longer named Creative Elements. Moving forward, this show will be named Creator Science. Don’t worry, there’s nothing YOU need to do – it’s the same RSS feed that you’re already subscribed to. You’ll just see it pop up under the name “Creator Science” instead of Creative Elements and you’ll notice some slight differences in the new artwork.
Rebrands are really hard. But I have two mantras for 2023:
1.) Simplification
2.) Ripping off the band-aid
I’m on a mission to simplify my business and any time I can do that, even if it’s scary, difficult, or painful, I’m going to rip off the band-aid and make that change.
So in this episode, I’m going to talk about why I’m renaming the podcast to Creator Science.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Brennan Dunn is a friend and a man of many skills and accomplishments – he’s a writer, marketer, developer, and even designer.
Brennan built Palladio, the tool I used to create my email templates. He co-founded RightMessage, an incredible software for segmenting your email subscribers. And these days, he writes a fantastic blog called Create & Sell where he’s documenting all that he’s learned over the years.
We were talking over email recently and he told me he’s actually creating something new under the Create & Sell brand – a platform that pulls in EVERY course lesson he’s ever made and will create custom learning pathways based on a student intake survey.
This is what he wants to build as a single product offer over the coming months and I REALLY wanted to dig into it with him.
So in this episode, you'll hear a conversation between Brennan and me talking through what that might look like.
We talk about positioning, pricing, marketing, and more.
