This year challenged creative business owners, including The Brief Collective, in ways we never expected.
We faced tough lessons in leadership, made really BAD big investment decisions, and learned how to be more intentional with our time.

In this episode, we're getting real and reflecting on the missteps we made and the valuable insights we've gained as we head into 2025, stronger and more focused than ever.
