The Profitable Creative, with Christian Brim
In this episode of Podcasting in Professional Services, John Tyreman sits down with Christian Brim, founder and CEO of The Core Group, author of Profit First for Creatives, and host of The Profitable Creative and The Chris Project podcasts. Christian shares his journey of pivoting his 30-year-old firm to focus specifically on creative professionals and how he ended up launching his own show after guesting on other podcasts failed to spark the deep conversations he wanted to have. They explore the psychology of money in creative industries, the transformative concept of category design, the true value of business entertainment, and the haunting personal tragedy that inspired Christian's raw, unfiltered podcast on founder mental health. In this episode, you'll learn: • How sharing ideas on money mindset led Christian to launch his own podcast • Why creative professionals struggle with money shame and non-linear thinking • How category design focuses on being different instead of just being better • Why Christian is taking a podcast hiatus to retool his show's strategy • How a client's tragedy inspired a raw podcast on founder mental health • Why business podcasts must strive to engage and transform, not just educate Subscribe to the Profitable Creative podcast on Apple , Spotify , or YouTube CHAPTERS: 00:00 Welcome 01:15 Front Toward Microphone 02:36 Core Group Origins and Niche 05:29 Creatives and Money Mindset 08:34 Category Design Pivot 12:22 Profitable Creative Podcast Strategy 30:05 Chris Project and Closing Thoughts This episode was produced by Red Cedar Marketing .
