In this week’s episode of the Creative Introvert podcast I talk to Joanna Penn, NYT Best Selling Author and host of the brilliant the Creative Penn podcast.

Todays guest is kind of a big deal.

And not just because she’s a New York Times best selling author, or because she was voted as one of the Guardian’s Top 100 Creative Professionals of the Year or any of her other awards and accolades – Joanna Penn is a big freakin deal because it was her podcast – the Creative Penn – that was responsible for me entertaining the idea that one day, may be I too could have a podcast.

Ok – so may be that’s just why she’s a big deal to me. But if you aren’t already a fan of JP – her books, blog or podcast – then I’m willing to bet you will be by the end of this interview.
