Creativity as a State of Mind with Nick Onken
Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 65!
Today, I’m sitting down with Nick Onken, self-described creative alchemist and photographer behind the colorful brand Photographs by Nick Onken, the podcast NIONlife, and hat brand Onken Hats.
Nick is a multi-talented, multi-passionate creative who lives by the creed Always Be Creating.
I love how Nick talks about creativity as first something we do for ourselves before we monetize it for business or use it functionally.
Throughout today’s podcast, Nick is honest about his journey and his point of view, and I can’t wait for you to listen to him talk about creativity and entrepreneurship.
