Creeeeeaaaaatoooooooors!

What’s going on folks, how are we holding up this week? I’m a bit in shambles while taking care of Gene Jacket, my brand-new corgi puppy, as he attempts to drain me of sleep and sanity.

While he’s a sweet pup, he’s still a puppy nonetheless, and with that, he’s brought some incredible energy into the house.

It’s only been about three days with the little dude and I’m already feeling more fired up. From renewed energy to create content, to feeling hungry to chat with other passionate creators (grab some time on my cal if you want to chat!), I’m pumped to keep things pushing with CreatorPad as we create the best possible tool for creators to grow their audiences and make their passion for creation their full-time career.

What has been getting you readers hyped up to create recently? Any tips or tricks that you have for getting out of a funk for other readers who may be feeling stuck? Let’s keep things collaborative, people! Reply to this email with your tips for getting over a creativity block to be featured in next week’s newsletter!

PS - if you get to the end of this issue, you’ll be rewarded with a ton of really interesting stories that I couldn’t cover in this issue that you should definitely check out. I also always pose a question at the end of each issue, so be sure to peep that and shoot me a message as well! I hope you enjoy this week’s read. 😌

This Pup Makes Big Bucks 🍑 

Ok, I’m acknowledging that I might be a little biased this week as I’m covering a product sold by the iconic Little Chonk herself, Maxine the corgi, but I promise this is a story that’s commanding the space!

For the uninitiated, Maxine is a star. Boasting over 1.3M Instagram followers, Maxine the corgi is a scroll-stopper of a pup, and her owner is an incredible creator and entrepreneur as well.

Maxine’s owner, Bryan Reisberg, is the brains behind the beauty (sorry, Bryan. You’re a handsome guy but Maxine’s got ya beat). Bringing in over $1M on their first product, a corgi backpack, Bryan and Maxine are back with their newest invention, the Lil Gulp.
