About the teacher
Hey, I’m Justin Shiels.
I spent 7 years as a creative director in advertising and over 15 years working in the world of communications.
I know what it’s like to have a full-time job that demands everything—and still feel like your best ideas are sitting in your Notes app, waiting for permission to be seen.
For me, that permission came in the form of an email newsletter.
Since 2019, I’ve sent out Good Morning Sunshine, a weekly email that’s helped me reconnect with my creative voice, define my personal brand, and build a community of over 6,100 subscribers.
That list became my lifeline when I left my toxic corporate job. It gave me freedom, clarity, and eventually—revenue.
If you’re overthinking your way out of starting, this is the workshop I wish I had when I was right where you are now.
