Ep. 17 - Quinn Bryant Of “What Would Jay-Z Do” On How To Train Your Inner Creative

There is a train of thought that you must be creative to be an
entrepreneur in today's accelerated business environment. We
believe this to be an absolute truth. Storytelling, creating
designs, inventing names, logos, brand style and writing copy for
social media and advertising are super skills that all
entrepreneurs *must* have in order to start and launch a business
and compete against giant brands that spend millions a minute to
capture your attention. If you don't have these types of skills or
the confidence to get them, you may go broke hiring trained and
professionally educated brand strategists before you even make your
own dime! In comes Quinn Bryant. Quinn is a serial creative first
and an entrepreneur second.  She is the author of new book
"WHAT WOULD JAY-Z DO?," a "bible" for entrepreneurs with daily
affirmations based on the lyrics written by JAY-Z, designed to
inspire the hustle and grind culture. This episode led by podcast
creator JinJa Birkenbeuel and co-host Esther Ikoro is designed to
reach vibrant entrepreneurs and start ups that appreciate the
creative development process, music, strategy and the diverse
business perspectives of hip hop artists that are now driving
global culture. (Portrait art created by Chloe Bartlett,

season of the Honest Field Guide Podcast, we present some of the
world's top entrepreneurs that are quietly and consistently
creating their own masterpieces of success through their businesses
and ideas. They are not famous and are not Instagram stars--yet.
Rather, they are thriving in their creativity, diversity,
authenticity and are in some way, creating social impact through
entrepreneurship. We are going beyond celebrating and rather are
peeking inside the minds of business owners that keep making money
moves and bringing their processes of invention to the forefront.
Often, we are so busy working in and on our businesses, we forget
how amazing we are and even the small tactics we deploy to push
beyond barriers should not be taken for granted. As an
entrepreneur, always remember that our natural instincts can be
honed and repackaged and used again and again to keep growing our
businesses. Our conversations on The Honest Field Guide are a
reminder of our extraordinary talents--despite the fact that we are
diverse, unique and dare we say creatively divergent.
