06 Feb 2024 | 144: Race To The Top | 00:16:35 | |
By all accounts 2021 will be a rebirth for creative business. We will hopefully put the pandemic behind us and art will reemerge. The question will be how to handle it. My advice, race to the top. To do so you will have to be radically, unapologetically, idiosyncratic. You will need to convince yourself that best is indeed a verb, not a noun because when you do you will invest in the best of you, you art and your creative business. And from there you will justly reap the rewards of being on the top. Listen in...

20 Jun 2023 | Episode 127: When You Assume... | 00:11:51 | |
If you start a line of reasoning with a presumption, you can only go one way. For most creative businesses, the presumption makes no sense so you can only go the wrong way.

11 Jun 2024 | 162: Be Grateful: Shun The Non-Believers | 00:17:08 | |
Creative business is built on the microscopic. For so many creative businesses, the very idea of serving more than 500 customers in a year is silly. Most are built on less than 50. And yet we speak in platitudes and generalities not radical authenticity. We do it because we have framed the conversation in terms of fear and rejection. How about we consider being grateful as we shun the non-believers.

01 Mar 2022 | Episode 89: Optimism Is A Choice | 00:16:38 | |
We are all obsessed with something. Your obsession is why you are who you are both as an artist and business owner. We can get caught in the moment. The arrogance is to be defined by it.

10 Oct 2023 | Episode 135: Money And Power Are Not The Same Thing | 00:14:01 | |
The axiom that the client is always right is not true for creative business. If you let someone's wallet dictate the limits of your power to do what you do, it will be lesson in self-inflicted pain.

12 Apr 2022 | Episode 94: Spiritual, Physical, Financial | 00:13:49 | |
When creative business owners stop and think about where they want to go with their art and their creative businesses most start with money, then talk about the effort required to get that money and maybe then think about the kind of work they want to be doing.

23 Jan 2024 | 142: Faith And The Courage Of Conviction | 00:15:01 | |
Faith is the courage of conviction. Faith is the prerequisite to courage and integrity. Faith is facile and simultaneously hopeful and hopeless.

14 May 2024 | 158: Learn To Leap With Dick Fosbury | 00:15:06 | |
I am going to talk about a story that is near and dear to me. I have told this story and its importance to creative business many times. I have even told it at a college commencement speech I was so honored to give a few years ago. It is the story of Dick Fosbury and his path to winning the gold medal for the high jump in the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City. You might say, huh? What does this have to do with my business? Well, close your eyes, jump over the bar backwards and lets find out if you will land safely.

27 Feb 2024 | 147: New Constraints, The Underneath, An Apple Tree and Horses For Courses | 00:17:16 | |
Constraints are nothing new. Creative businesses have always operated in a window. I have never met a designer who is perpetually free to create as she sees fit without regard to budget, style or even geography. The new reality we all find ourselves in is that a new constraint has been foisted on all of us. The price of every physical human interaction is now perpetually present. It means the intrinsic nature of art has become ever more indelible. Enter the underneath, an apple tree and horses for courses. Listen in...
