What’s the biggest challenge creatives face when building a business? According to Creative Entrepreneurs founder Carolyn Dailey, it’s the lack of role models—people who’ve successfully turned their artistic vision into a sustainable venture. In a fascinating interview with The Wick, she shares why these stories matter and how her new book, The Creative Entrepreneur, lifts the curtain on the business journeys of top creatives like Roksanda Ilinčić and Nile Rodgers.
Dailey also tackles the long-standing divide between creativity and business, arguing that understanding the business side doesn’t stifle creativity—it empowers it. She explores the impact of AI on creative industries, highlights game-changing businesses to watch, and reveals the best advice she’s ever received: “Be absolutely true to yourself.”
