WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE BRIONY STEWART
“You know what I am just gonna try and do the thing I most want to do first, and if it doesn’t work and if I turn out to be really crappy at it, life is long and I’m sure I can pivot and find some other job I can do”
On today’s show we are talking to multi-award winning author and illustrator Briony Stewart.
With over 25 children's books to her name and a trophy shelf full of industry awards, Briony is a true powerhouse in the world of children's literature :)
In this conversation we cover her creative process, business advice for artists, how she defines success, dealing with set-backs and rejection, long service leave for creatives, how to negotiate your first book deal, balancing motherhood with work, burn out, creative fatigue, the importance of finding your creative tribe and so much more!!!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
