It's a milestone worth celebrating! The Profitable Graphic Designer Podcast is proud to announce its 100th episode!

Over the past 100 episodes, we've had the privilege of hosting some of the sharpest minds in the creative industry. Our guests have shared their experiences, tips, and strategies that have empowered designers to run profitable, simple and sustainable design businesses they love!

None of this would have been possible without YOU - our incredible listeners. Your support, feedback, and dedication have fueled our passion to bring you the best of the design & business world.

We've received hundreds of messages from designers around the world who've found inspiration and practical advice through our episodes and I, as your host, want to thank you! 😊 The journey to 100 episodes is just the beginning. We're excited to continue providing you with valuable insights, expert interviews, and a platform to thrive as a creative business owner.

In this podcast episode, we have a fantastic guest, Chris Do, and we’ve touched on many different business topics that will help design business owners improve their business.

Chris Do shared how he started his business, how he got some of the first clients, when he started outsourcing, hiring, and how he grew his business into a successful creative agency in LA. Chris also touched on how you can start getting high-paying clients that you would love to work with!

He also helped us understand why clients choose the designers they choose and how you can position yourself and your business as the best possible option for those dreamy clients. It’s very easy to understand and implement in your business, so I would encourage you to go through it.

And, Chris Do also talked about how you can start creating content that will attract dream design clients. Really, the whole episode is full of value, and I know you will find it super valuable if you are a brand, graphic, or web designer trying to build a sustainable design agency.
