    Artist Interview: Patricia Griffin

    Artist Interview: Patricia Griffin

    Another terrific artist took the time to chat with me! Fine Art Ceramist Patricia Griffin and I explored several topics in this podcast. We explored her transition to becoming a full-time artist. Her transition to opening a public space and becoming a retail shop owner. And we took a journey into her most recent and equally profound career changes. Along the way, you will hear some smart business and marketing concepts and you can easily apply them directly to your art business.
    And it is all told, in this quick 45-minute podcast, with the depth and clarity I expected from this very smart and successful artist.
    Head's Up! You MUST listen to the very end because there is a super-duper marketing tip that shows up that I hope will be the key to your future success. I may have over-used the word brilliant towards the end of the podcast, but that won't stop me from saying one more time: This woman is BRILLIANT!

    Who Is It For? EP 44

    Who Is It For? EP 44

    And... What is it for?  
    Well, well, well. A series of clicks found me re-visiting an amazing talk by Seth Godin. It's from December of 2017, but it's still so relevant today. And, it will be just as relevant two or twenty years from now. Its impact cannot be overstated.
     
    Watching the YouTube video again, I was overwhelmed with a new sense of MY purpose. I found myself thinking of all the artists I have helped, mentored, coached, and hugged (real and virtually) over the years.
     
    And I was reminded that I am a cheerleader and an optimist. I really believe that art changes people's lives.
     
    So this podcast is my "response" to Seth. I can sum it up: Art Matters. Artists Matter.
     
    But the big takeaway for me is: I matter to artists.
     
    Bold?  
    Yep! I am boldly filling this week's podcast with extra Aloha and even more ways to Find Loving Homes for Your Art. I do this by believing in "My Golden Words" and remembering all the artists I have made a difference for.
     
    Please listen and then bring your thoughts to the comments. Is there more that I can do? What more would you like from me? Have I helped you? In what ways?
     
    Please share your stories!
     
     
    As promised here is the link to Seth Godin's amazing talk
    (I left out the fact that he is very funny and you will LOL more than a few times watching him!)

    Get on the Brand Wagon ER 42

    Get on the Brand Wagon ER 42

    Got Brand? The concept of a "brand" can be nebulous. On the face of it having an identifiable brand might seem all about corporate/big business. Yes, the major "brands" have that look and feel and strong ties to giant marketing machines, but artists need to have a branded look, too. And they can really become more human by giving branding some space in their business.
    In today's 11-minute podcast, I will let you in on a few secrets to help you tweak your branding and fine-tune your public-facing information. From your website to your social media and even in your in-person events and art shows, you will connect more quickly and be more memorable if you pay attention to your branding.
    It's another piece of the puzzle that will help you Find Loving Homes for Your Art.
    I suspect that there will be some questions and I look forward to your comments as always!
    Enjoy!

    SQUIRREL! I can't really explain how my squirrely mind came up with this podcast, but I think you will come away with a new point of view. And hopefully, some strong connections that will lead to you finding loving homes for your art.

    Without further ado:

    Put It In Neutral EP40

    Put It In Neutral EP40

    Are you too sexy for your car?* This is bound to be a controversial podcast, but that's never stopped me in the past.
    I know that some people will thank me, but some will shun me. I am talking very frankly in this week's episode. I try to always bring the honest and most intentionally created words I can, but this time I may have created a monster.
    Very interested in your comments. My hope is for some strong dialog on this very important and overlooked issue.
     
    *Lyric from the song released in 1992 (coincidentally the same year my jewelry business started. Go figure!) called "I'm too sexy" by Right Said Fred

    My jewelry means I stay neutral in appearance.
