Can You Actually Make Money Doing What You Love? | Advice Night with Stacy Jolley and Paul Pape

Welcome to the very first episode of the Advice Night Podcast! 💋 I’m Stacy Jolley, and I am SO excited you’re here! Advice Night is all about YOUR questions — relationships, work, family, friendships, money, business, life… honestly, nothing is off limits. You bring the questions, and I’ll happily get all up in your business. 😉 In this episode, we’re kicking things off with a big one: Why do we ignore red flags in relationships? 🚩 We talk about recognizing the behavior we know isn’t right, understanding why we sometimes choose to overlook it, and remembering that you deserve to be treated well. Then I’m joined by the wonderfully talented Paul Pape, aka the “Santa for Nerds”! Paul has spent more than 20 years creating custom props and incredible pieces for some HUGE names, including Disney, Universal, Nickelodeon, Nintendo, Peacock, and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Today, he also helps creatives turn what they love doing into profitable businesses through Gamify Business. Together, we dive into some brilliant viewer questions: ✨ Should you give up on your creative dream if it isn’t paying the bills? 🎨 How do you know what to charge for your art or creative work? 📱 How do you actually become “TikTok famous” — and should fame even be the goal? 💰 Why creatives need to charge for their time, materials AND profit. 🙋 Why selling yourself can be more powerful than simply selling your work. 🎮 And why you should stop living like an NPC and become the hero of your own adventure! There are laughs, honest conversations, business advice, a giant pimply nose (yes… really), and plenty to think about. Most importantly, Advice Night is powered by YOU. Got something keeping you up at night? A relationship problem? Work drama? Family situation? Career dilemma? Or something you just need another perspective on? 👉 Send me your question at advicenight.com And yes — you can submit your question anonymously. 🤫 Don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss the next episode of Advice Night! 💻 Find Paul Pape: Gamify Business — gamifybusiness.com Paul Pape Designs — paulpapedesigns.com 💋 Until next time… send me your questions so I can get all up in your business! #AdviceNight #StacyJolley #Podcast #LifeAdvice #RelationshipAdvice #CareerAdvice #CreativeBusiness #Entrepreneurship #PaulPape #GamifyBusiness
