Howdy Reader! Quick question… have you opened Canva lately and thought, “Wow, this is a lot”? Between new tools, new buttons, and new features arriving every other week, even seasoned creators are feeling the pressure to keep up. And if you’re running your business, making content, and trying to stay consistent online, design can easily chew up more time than you planned. That’s why I’m excited about this week’s Creator News Live.
I’m bringing on Maliha Khan, a designer and strategist who’s done the homework on Canva AI so you don’t have to. She lives right where most creators get stuck, the messy middle between planning and actually producing, and she knows how to turn these tools into something practical instead of overwhelming. Here’s what we’re digging into:
If design takes too long or you keep putting off creating graphics because you’re stretched thin, this episode will make your week easier. We go live Friday at 10am CT. Bring your questions because Maliha has answers. See ya there, -Jeff P.S. While you're decking the halls, why not upgrade your livestream setup too?

Howdy Reader! What a week. If you’re in half of the U.S. right now, you’ve probably been hunkered down with the winter storm.

It was WONDERFUL! Have you ever thought about writing your OWN book? Maybe you thought, “I should write a book,” then immediately talked yourself out of it. Do books still matter when...
Howdy Reader! A night (actually morning) in the museum, anyone? I’m sitting down with my good friend Amy Kehs, a PR expert who’s spent decades helping museums (little ole museums like the Smithsonian! I know, right?) stop getting ignored and start building real community around what they do. And no, this isn’t a “museum-only” conversation. We’ll be digging into: Why getting attention feels harder than ever (and what to do about it) Where marketing hits a wall, and how PR plays a different...
Howdy Reader! Quick heads-up: there’s no live show today, I’m in beautiful Orlando for Podfest. But next week? We’ve got a great one planned… I don’t come to Podfest just to sit in sessions (though there’s plenty of excellent content there). It’s also my yearly creativity boost: catching up with friends, swapping ideas in hallways, and refilling the tank. Last year, Paul Gowder and I did a show on the ROI of live events. Here are a few takeaways and why I’m bullish on conferences in 2026:...
