Episode 109: How to Turn Your Why Into Revenue

"Why do you create art?" is a question that stumps many artists, but it’s one everyone should know the answer to. Why? Because your WHY is your most powerful business tool, and getting clear on it may be the thing you need to sell more art in 2025.

But here’s the thing — it’s already something you have inside you. It just needs to be uncovered. In this episode, I’ll show you how to do it, and you’ll walk away with practical exercises you can use to get introspective, regardless of where you find yourself in your art career.
