Eps 115: Be an Honest Thief, Guest Jeff Goins

September 20, 2017

Welcome to another Wednesday Audio release!

Best-selling writer, Jeff Goins says that too many creative people are hampered from making a living from their art because of a "Starving Artists Mentality". In my conversation with him today we discuss some of the most pervasive ways creative people fail to have "Thriving Artist Mentality" and how to make the switch–so that doing what you love most can be how you make a good living. His book details many case studies of how people did just that–including his own story.

We also cover some of his personal journey into becoming a best-selling author, "stepping into your calling", the purpose of making art, the thievery needed to be a good artist, creating a "portfolio life", and the best way to find a mentor or gain an apprenticeship.

Today is very practical and encouraging if you make things or if you want to take your art or creative life to the next level. Get all the EXTRAS, like links to people, books, websites, and places mentioned, at the special price of $1 for a whole MONTH of extras! -JUST CLICK HERE-
