Episode Notes

Jeff is the bestselling author of “Real Artists Don’t Starve.” I’ve wanted him to come on this podcast for over a year. Because he knows the secret to become a “thriving artist.”

“That’s somebody who makes money so they can make more art,” he said. The key is to combine your art with a business sense (even if it’s just the basics).

Start with your natural talents. Turn those talents into skill (through practice). Develop a business sense (more on this in the podcast) and figure out “what does ownership” look like in your space.

This is the guide to becoming a real artist. A wealthy artist. (You’ll even learn HOW to ask for money.)
