Encouraging
I just discovered this podcast and it’s what I needed to encourage me to keep my creative business going 😊 some days (like this whole year) it’s been tough to get motivated but this is a
breath of fresh air. Jay has a “down to earth tone” and I appreciate the variety of the guests being interviewed.

Amazing creative practical knowledge + inspiration
Not to be dramatic, but this podcast has changed my life. Ok, maybe not my life, but at least the hum-drum-hoping-for-something-good-to-happen career path I was on. I love the creatives Jay features on the show and I have truly been so inspired by their solid advice. I feel like I can glean a small piece of wisdom from each episode, and Jay does a great job at keeping the discussion focused, while still maintaining an organic flow of conversation and not being dull or monotonous. I also appreciate how practical and approachable each episode is. If you’re a creative, and you need some GENUINE inspiration and advice from REAL creatives, listen to this. Thank me— I mean Jay— later.

Tremendously motivating
I first learned of Jay Clouse and this podcast through another podcast (Ian Paget: Logo Geek) and I was so profoundly motivated by that single episode that I instantly started following this dude on all the social media channels, signed up for his newsletter, subscribed to THIS podcast, and will be purchasing his courses for Freelancers in the very near future. I went for a long drive just to binge-listen to episode 1 and 2, and I’m hooked.
I’ve had a fine art and design business for almost ten years. I’ve got the art thing down, but I’ve never been so excited to learn what I can do to be better entrepreneur and perhaps go fully freelance.
Also, for anyone that judges a podcast by the voice, this dude’s voice is like butter on a warm slice of toast. :)

A perfect podcast for creatives
I discovered Creative Elements a month or so ago — as I went through Jay Clouse’s Freelancing Foundations video course on LinkedIn Learning I knew it should be worth listening to but it’s so much more than worth listening to. The podcast features interesting (and sometimes famous) guests who give tons of useful and sometimes fun information and Jay always asks great questions. Highly recommended for creatives in every field.

Grateful
I am so grateful for this podcast! It was right when I got the temporary lay off from my second job that I came across this podcast. Since then I’ve watched every single episode.. and I feel all the more successful in doing so.. the road is long and it seems so unforgiving but with the info and discussion that I get from creative elements I believe the future doesn’t have to seem so Grimm. Started a little side hustle and getting prepped for all the small and fast fails so I can get where I need to be in the future! Stay healthy stay safe! And thank you jay clouse, wife and mixer!! And thank you guests!!

I’m hooked!
Jay has the ability to tell people’s stories while focusing on the topic at hand. I always end an episode being well-informed and encouraged. Looking forward to the next episode! Thank you so much.

ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!!
If you are a creator of any sorts, this will be your favorite thing to listen to!! I honestly do not remember how I came across this podcast. Whether it was through my avid listening to “Stuff You should Know”, of mere curiosity in the podcast realm, but it is absolutely LIFE CHANGING. Jay is one of the most efficient, captivating and porous interviewers. He knows what to ask an introvert that would have them rambling for hours!! I am Galen aback by how Jay is able to deliver such profound answers through his questions and the people he chooses to interview give you such intricate advice, you are driven to CREATE. Love it and will be listing 4Life!

Can’t get enough
A friend recommended this podcast to me as a prescription for some perspective issues I’m having with my own creative business. After only 2 episodes I’m already on a different path, one I’m way happier with. Super great podcast, great audio quality, really doing a lot for my life right now. Couldn’t recommend it enough.

Insightful/relevant questions
Listened to the Cat Coq Interview after studying Cat’s website and Instagram feed a bit. Jay, you ask great questions! Very helpful info. Will check out more and listen while I work in my illustrations :)

Jay = 🐐
Jay is at it again. Both Upside and Creative Elements podcasts have a permanent place in my podcast subscriptions. I thoroughly enjoy Creative Elements, especially, because the content hits much closer to home in regards to my personal experiences. It’s apparent that the guests enjoy Jay’s interviews, as well, as they often compliment Jay on his ability to ensure his interview questions are unique.
Give Creative Elements a try - you won’t regret it!

A must listen for any creatives!
I love this podcast! Jay interviews fantastic guests, each with a story to tell and a tangible takeaway. As the guests tell their stories, I find myself thinking of questions and next thing I know, Jay is asking that question! He is a great interviewer and makes sure his listeners walk away from each episode well-informed and inspired. I highly recommend this podcast to any creative individual or entrepreneur. I’ve found value in every episode I’ve listened to, even when I was hesitant at first if the content would relate to me. Great job Jay!

For the creative - and the aspiring creative
Excellent content that has my mind racing around several different topics. I’m not a typical creative person, but I’ve learned a lot of principles here that I can apply to both career and life pursuits.
