Do you rebel against structure - or do you crave it? Does the idea of managing others or being managed make you feel supported or smothered? And how can you find the freedom and flow to bring true creativity into your business? The surprising answer - constrain yourself!

This week, Annie P. sits down with Project Management all-star, Molly Beran. Molly knows that a lean, well-oiled, and responsive system is actually the best foundation for creative work - as long as you're structuring with your nature and your needs in mind!  Then, leaning into the old adage "tidy house, tidy mind," Molly introduces Annie to the Netflix sensation The Home Edit (which itself started as a small 2-woman business). It's a must-listen if your creative juices aren't flowing so freely. It's time to unclog your mind!

Anna Delvey - branding or fraud? Case study or criminal case? Where does a compelling brand story end and a lie begin? And how can we - regardless of our background - build something bigger than ourselves, inspire others to join in our vision, and provide complex, emotion-rich, consistent experiences?

This week, Annie P. is joined by branding supernova Ari Krzyzek. Together, they unpack the critical components of a thriving online presence, the "which comes first - the message or the brand?" quandary, and how to seduce hearts and win minds without sacrificing your values. Then, Ari and Annie shift their focus to the enigmatic (and dare we say brilliant) Anna Delvey/Sorokin, her particular brand of genius, and how it was ultimately misused on the path to making ADF a reality. By her own admission, Anna Delvey is a f*cking legend, and by this episode's end, you'll be well on your way, too.
