One of the most fascinating things about the Web is how it has evolved. By that, I don’t mean so much the mind-blowing speed of growth, but rather how the foundational languages, APIs, and browsers have been able to adapt to an ever-evolving, ever-changing environment. With ...

In this solo episode I touch on client outreach, one of the backbones of any creative business.  Smart artists don’t wait to be discovered, they go after their opportunities.

In this show we touch on why reaching out to clients is extremely important, how often you should be doing it, and what is an effective framework you could follow. I’ll also discuss the main mistakes that I see artists making when they do client outreach and share with you the effective method that I use to do that myself in my business today.

If you’re running a solo business, this episode will help you get focused and get better results. If you’re thinking of making the leap, it’ll provide you with steps that you can implement today to get those first assignments.

In this solo episode I address a common question among artists and creatives: should I go freelance?.

In my experience working with hundreds of artists, interviewing dozens of them on this podcast and being a freelance artist myself, I understand the reasons why an artist may want to go solo with their business. In this episode, we discuss the motivations behind most artists wanting to open their own studios and the things that stop many from making the leap. We will touch on the things that going solo as an artist will require from you and how you could prepare yourself for taking that step.

If you’re thinking of going freelance, this episode will give you tools to find clarity and get you going. If you’re already freelancing, it will help you make an audit and think of ways to improve your results.

Lauren is a designer, letterer, and educator. A self-proclaimed "artist with a business brain", she picked up hand lettering as a hobby while studying advertising at the School of Visual Arts. Over the next few years (and thanks to the power of the internet), she leveraged a few clever passion projects into a thriving design career.

Known for her bright color palettes, playful letterforms, and quirky copywriting, Lauren has created work for clients like Vans, Google, and Adobe. She loves sharing what she's learned with others through her blog, Instagram, and library of online courses.

Lauren dropped so many pearls of wisdom. I’m sure you’ll love this episode with her as much as I enjoyed doing it.
