Creatives: Get more DONE by thinking like a Producer | Tara Mewis
About this episode
Creativity and business can often feel like two opposing forces, one requires flow and emotion, while the other demands strategy and structure. But to move forward with your creative work, you have to think like a producer.
Today, I connected with Tara Mewis, the President of Honey Cut Studios, a creative agency known for its innovative storytelling. Tara has written, filmed, and produced content for nearly 20 years. In this conversation, she shares how she’s learned to balance creative vision with leadership, why you need to practice embarrassment, and the key mental shift that helps creatives finish what they start and get projects across the finish line.
