In Episode 354, the guys talk directly to the reality most creatives avoid: slow season fear, debt, no savings, and the pressure to spend during the holidays. The big mindset shift is simple: you are not a consumer, you are a producer, so make something instead of buying something. They share ideas for meaningful gifts that cost little to nothing, ways to pick up skills that help your career (content creation, editing, learning tools), and even how acts of service can pull you out of isolation when work is slow.
