EGGS! The Podcast is a long-running interview show where business advice and creative life keep crossing paths. The recent run is especially practical. Episodes move from decision-making for entrepreneurs to course creation, heart rate variability, emotional intelligence, agency systems, pricing strategy, intellectual property, and the economics of an art career. The show does not sound like a boardroom. It sounds like a curious business conversation that is willing to leave in the rough edges. A phone rings during an intro. A guest gets space to build a full answer. The interviewer circles back, paraphrases, and looks for the useful point inside the story. That makes the show feel direct and occasionally loose, but rarely abstract. Its center of gravity is execution: how to price work, screen clients, protect assets, build systems, manage stress, and make better decisions under pressure. The creative angle is not treated as decoration. One episode turns art pricing into a larger conversation about maturity, self-expression, demand, and perceived value. Another episode frames intellectual property as a possible asset for service businesses that want more than fee-for-service income. Another conversation gets into client fit, profit, and the discipline of saying no when the return is not there. Other episodes bring in leadership, health, and performance without drifting far from business usefulness. Sponsor reads can take up noticeable space at the front of episodes. Once the conversation starts, the value is in the plainspoken examples and the guest-led explanations. EGGS! suits founders, agency owners, consultants, creators, and ambitious professionals who want practical operating lessons with a human pace. It is especially good for listeners who like hearing how people think through messy problems rather than receiving neatly packaged tips.
Made for: EGGS! The Podcast is for founders, agency owners, consultants, artists, course creators, and working professionals who want grounded advice on building, pricing, protecting, and improving their work.
What sets it apart: Its strength is the mix of creative-business range and plainspoken guest depth: a pricing conversation can sit beside stress tracking, IP strategy, leadership habits, and an artist’s path to self-expression without feeling like separate shows.

A practical episode on pricing, client fit, and using a 10X return lens before quoting service work.
Pricing a service business is framed here as a question of fit before anything else. In a conversation with Marcel Petitpas, profitability comes before the quote, with prospective clients screened by their revenue and profit over the past 12 months and by whether a 10X return on…
A clear, practical argument for treating intellectual property as business value, not just creative output.
Sharon makes intellectual property feel less like an abstract legal category and more like a practical business lever for a professional-services firm. The episode is clearest when it separates client work from assets that can keep creating value after the workday ends.
A grounded look at how creative work can move from paid production toward a market for personal expression.
This episode gives the art-business conversation a practical frame: a creative career may start with work that is bought and sold almost like a commodity, before taste, judgment, and self-expression begin to shape what an audience is willing to value.
Marketing shifts fast; distinctive expertise may outlast the tools delivering it.
The episode looks at the uneasy moment when a platform change can erase a dependable revenue stream overnight. A visual designer wonders whether creative work will still exist later in life as computers take over production and entry-level tasks, and Mike connects that fear to…
Joe Sullivan makes niche B2B marketing feel like finding the right audience, not the biggest one.
