My guest today is creative professional extraordinaire, Paul Jarvis.

Paul is founder\xa0and launcher of a plethora of\xa0online products for creative professionals including Creative Class, Chimp Essentials, Project Prescription, 4 Wordpress Themes and his weekly emails\xa0The Sunday Dispatches.

Paul also has his own podcast called, The Freelancer, which you 100% should check out because he drops wisdom bombs like they're going out of style on a regular basis.

Paul\xa0currently resides\xa0in the woods of Canada, on an island with his\xa0wife Lisa and their\xa0gang of pet rats. He rocks cheap beer toques and meditation beads (typically at the same time). He also has\xa0way more tattoos than you. (I ripped this little about part from his site so that's how I know he has more tattoos than you.)

I stumbled across Paul when a friend of mine recommended I check out his Chimp Essentials MailChimp course which was hands down one of the best courses\xa0I've ever taken. The course\xa0is on hiatus right now but will be back soon. I'll let you know when it's back because it is great.

Just from taking\xa0that course I got the sense that:

a) Paul really knew what he was talking about

b) he genuinely seemed to care about the people he was speaking to

c) he seemed like a really awesome person I'd like to talk with.

So, I hit him up and he responded and we set up a time to chat and this podcast is the fruit of that (very easy to do) labor.
