Creative Business Academy with Jewel Tolentino and Auret Esselen

Hi! Jewel and Auret here.


We are full time, multi-passionate Creatives and Founders of Creative Business Academy with a passion for helping others live out what they love doing most.

In 2010, we decided to ditch our unfulfilling scripted lives of becoming a doctor and nurse, in order to pursue the unwritten script of entrepreneurship, creativity, freedom and fun.

Auret followed her dream of becoming a Performing Artist, still writing and performing today, and is also a Digital Designer. Jewel followed the path of the digital content creator, developing a particular obsession with video creation. It’s a combination that led us to launch our Essetino Artists Youtube channel in 2015 dedicated to teaching creative entrepreneurs how to grow their business and establish a solid presence online. 

Today, the channel has surpassed 34,000 subscribers and continues to grow with 1000+ subscribers each month.


Since making that decision in 2010, we have helped over 72, 000 students through our online course community and private coaching services, as well as millions more through our YouTube tutorials.


We are SO excited to open our Creative Business Academy doors to you - it is our mission to share with you what we've learned to help you gain more visibility online and make more money doing what you love. ❤️
