//podcastplus.net/feed/artistceo~cb5a9e45 Some know Shannon DeJong as a writer, performer, and artist. Some know her as a brand and naming consultant. 
Businesswoman. Advisor. Coach. Some just call her Shan. She’s all of those things and more, of course. She coaches others to find and live their truest self; she is obsessed with the craft of identity creation and truth-seeking — but she’s also friggin’ tired of everything having to be so…BRANDED. So, this is where she puts raw thoughts, new work, and experimental creations without needing to know what they are or whether they’re “marketable.” Thus, here she remains: UNBRANDED.

(And how that led Kerri to discover Human Design) - Kerri's imperative to become a full-time ArtistCEO in her own right and perform on stage again.  And much more!

And it’s my birthday. Creative freedom vs making money: I’ve been exploring this all my life. I really don’t think we have to choose. How can we feed our stomachs/families and feed our souls? We find ways to craft our jobs or businesses as vehicles for creativity and self-actualization. Don’t worry, I’ll explain. I’ll be writing to you once per month in the hopes it helps, inspires or entertains. I hope you’ll stick around.
