  • Summary

  • Do you practice your craft as much as you “do” it? In this episode, Nick sits down with Mike Perry, Chief Creative Officer and Founder of TAVERN, to explore why creatives should train like athletes. From design warm-ups and drills to refining your communication and management skills, we’re diving into how practicing more can make you a better designer—and a more confident creative professional.


    We’ll cover:


    How to warm up your design skills with drills and sprints.

    Why practicing presentations, client onboarding, and negotiation is just as important as designing.

    Simple ways to make creative practice a consistent part of your routine.


    Plus, Mike drops incredible insights from his work with food, beverage, cannabis, and hospitality brands—don’t miss this one! And be sure to check the show notes for links to the designers Mike mentions in this episode. 🎨✨
