A life-giving experience being featured on I AM A CREATOR

Isa Adney is someone I am truly thankful to know. She and the ConvertKit team approached me to do my episode on “An Education in Food and Community” and the process of working with Isa to develop this episode was quite literally a life-giving experience! The time she took to research my work before setting up our interview, and the care and effort she put into writing and producing the final story was truly an honor to say the least. Thank you for this incredible opportunity to share my story on the I Am A Creator series! I am forever grateful! Very Warmly, Daniella

Encouraging, educational content and engaging delivery

Isa Adney is a gifted storyteller and her reading of the stories she writes draws me in. Her delivery is smooth, comforting, and keeps me listening.

Each story brings an encouraging reminder of how other creators have persevered and followed their unique journeys to get where they are today. The accounts have helped me learn about new industries and their examples motivate me to keep growing as a creator myself.

The episode are relatively short and I find myself ready for another as soon as the closing music starts to play.

Well done, Isa!
