#84 - From 9-to-5 Hell to an Audience of 220K doing One Thing w/ Janis Ozolins

In this episode of The Nomad Solopreneur Show, I chat with Janis about his path from a 9-to-5 IT job to becoming a successful creator & visual artist.

We explore the impact of having a messy brainstorming process, handling financial risks, and the role of authenticity in content creation.

Janis and I also discuss navigating the challenges of inconsistent freelance income, leveraging audience growth, and the influence of AI on the industry.

We highlight the importance of trust, personal connections in course creation, and living abroad as a bilingual content creator.

Join us as we dive into Janis' journey and insights into building a sustainable career as a creator.
