His online coaching program ‘The Creative Warrior Unleashed' helps creatives make a living doing what they love by better marketing themselves and their talents.
Jeffrey talks about leaving New York and relocating to Miami, his busy life and the need for a "reservoir", the retreat to come back into himself and re-prepare his offering to the world. He also shares with us how he developed his approach to coaching.
"As creatives, we are fundamentally capable of being really good at more than one thing."
