IN THIS EPISODE WE LEARN:
In this episode, host Jason Davis (aka “Mr. Fortify”) and William Warren dive into the intersection of creativity, business, and faith. They explore:
William’s origin story: from a comics-obsessed kid (e.g., reading Calvin & Hobbes, The Far Side) to art-school graduate to corporate marketing job, and eventually launching his creative business side-hustle into full-time entrepreneurship.
How he discovered that his gift wasn’t just for “fun” but could serve others in the marketplace and mission-driven contexts.
The power of visual thinking and communication: how using icons, images, layouts can make ideas stick, not just for artists but for all professionals.
Business fundamentals for creatives: moving from “my passion” to “my product,” pricing your work, scaling a team, and building systems so the business doesn’t always rely on “you.”
Stewardship of gift and vocation: integrating faith into creative work, understanding that creativity is an offering, and how to lead with purpose rather than just profit.
Practical take-aways for listeners who are creatives, freelancers, business owners or those with a visual-thinking style who want to build sustainable careers aligned to mission.
