What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Sean never fails to hit me right in the gut, when I need it the most. This podcast is always inspiring me to push myself into a different sphere of creativity and the way I run my business.

Shannon Griffin Photography · Mar 2024

I follow Sean and everything he does via my wife and partner, Andrea Eppolito. She has been a member of Sean’s private group, the Business of Being Creative (commonly referred to as the “BBC”). It has changed her business, and her outlook on business. Sean forces you to see things from a different perspective. That doesn’t mean that you have to agree with him. He forces you to THINK and evaluate your position and arguments and whether or not they are the correct ones for you. I love that Sean is finally doing a Podcast - this is simply a taste of what you can get in the BBC. If you want to be pushed outside your comfort zone, grow and develop your business senses - then listen to Sean and subscribe!

I have been working with Sean Low for years, and he is the best! Sean has one of the keenest minds that I have ever encountered, and his passion for the business side of things is inspiring. I am a much more confident business owner today because of the work we have done together, and I highly recommend him and his podcast.

Andrea Eppolito · May 2020

Shawn has been inspiring me, and my business, for years and his newest adventure in podcasts is no exception! He always finds a way to get the wheels turning in my brain to think about my business in a new light. Thanks for continuing to share your insight and spark conversation! 💜💜💜 Rachael
