Podcasts by I See What You Mean with April Kae
April Kae knows what it’s like to feel stuck as a creative. For years, she worked jobs from Wall Street to Public Radio. But on the two-year anniversary of landing her “dream job,” she realized she wasn’t dreaming big enough. So, she quit to pursue creativity full-time. Since then, April has built a six-figure freelance creative business, cultivating careers in music, modeling, and social media. And now, she’s here to help you get unstuck and live your creative dreams, too. On "I See What You Mean," April asks creatives in a variety of fields to share how they overcame barriers limiting their self-expression—and achieved success and artistic freedom. Join every other Tuesday for candid, enlightening, and witty conversations on creativity, personal growth, and finding meaning.
