Creatives Rule the World

Welcome to Creatives Rule the World. Hosted by, Tracy Matthews — multi-7-figure entrepreneur,  visionary, and mentor to thousands of creative founders who’ve turned their ideas into profitable, purpose-driven companies. She's helped thousands of creatives generate millions of dollars _ all by doing it my way… with creativity first.  This show is for creators who are done playing small — the ones who know their ideas aren’t just a passion… they’re a portal  Here, we’re rewriting the rules of entrepreneurship. Forget cookie-cutter blueprints and burnout culture — I’m here to help you grow a business that feels good, pays well, and  the kind of personal freedom that only comes when you’re brave enough to do things your own way. Through solo episodes and honest conversations with creative entrepreneurs, artists, and founders, I’ll give you the mindset shifts, marketing moves, and business tools you need to grow with clarity, flow, and profitability. You’ll learn how to build wealth on your terms, show up with confidence, and finally trust that you don’t have to choose between creativity and success — you get to have both. So if you’re ready to step into your next level, grow your income, and build a business that actually works for your life, you’re in the right place. Because creatives aren’t just dreamers… We rule the world.

What if I told you that the most successful entrepreneurs aren't the ones who hustle hardest, but the ones who master their energetic frequency? My guest Anna Lozano proved this when she scaled Love Powered Co from a kitchen table idea to a successful exit—but here's the plot twist: her biggest transformation happened AFTER she sold. Anna shares the raw truth about identity loss post-exit, why sitting in "the void" is actually where all possibility lives, and how she's now calling in million-dollar months through nervous system regulation and feminine magnetism rather than masculine force. If you're ready to build a business that feels as good as it looks, this episode will completely shift your approach to success. In this episode, you'll learn: * [1:49] How Anna scaled Love Powered Co from startup to exit and why alignment mattered more than just the numbers * [17:41] Why your emotional well-being is directly tied to your financial success and how to regulate your nervous system for abundance * [19:53] The truth about sitting in "the void" - why it's not punishment but the portal to pure possibility * [26:10] How to expand your nervous system to hold bigger visions (like million-dollar months) before you have evidence * [43:07] Practical tools for calling in your next level: visualization, breathwork, and using AI for manifestation Here are the resources mentioned in the show: * Follow @_annalozano [https://www.instagram.com/_annalozano/] on Instagram * Anna Lozano’s Website [https://annalozano.com/] * The Pink Skirt Project Event [https://www.thepinkskirtproject.com/], June 12, 2025 in Kelowna, BC (Use code TRACY2025 for 10% off tickets) * Join the waitlist for Desire AI [https://www.flourishthriveacademy.com/desireAI] Are you enjoying the podcast?
