Episode 72: Creativity + Capitalism (A Clotheshorse.world Crossover)

Today’s episode is extra special!

This week at clotheshorse.world, the blog team has been sharing personal essays about our experiences with creativity and capitalism. We have been releasing one each day, so when this episode comes out, the essays from Karrie, Haley, and Meg will be available on the blog. Amanda's essay will be available on Thursday.

In this episode, you’ll hear two conversations about our essays. First, you’ll hear from Karrie and Haley, and then from Meg and Amanda.
And we will tackle the final pillar of capitalism: incentive.

Links to the essays:

Overworking for Self-Worth by Karrie Witkin
Creative Boundaries and Boundless Capitalism by Haley Burson
Walking The Capitalist Chorus Line by Meg Chellew
All Tightrope, No Net by Amanda McCarty (coming Thursday!)
