09 - Lessons for Liberated Artists from Rick Rubin’s, The Creative Act: A Way of Being


In this unconventional book review episode, we delve into the insightful book The Creative Act, A Way of Being by Rick Rubin.

Inspired by Rubin's suggestion to open a book randomly and find connections in whatever we see on the page, we explore various passages and their relevance to the journey of fine artists. From embracing the practice of living as an artist to breaking the conventional rules, we discuss the importance of maintaining an entrepreneurial mindset and spotting opportunities beyond the studio. Additionally, we explore the power of a beginner's mindset in marketing and business, the multifaceted nature of success in the art world, and the need for artists to redefine their own niches and avoid being confined by traditional branding norms. Join me as we uncover valuable lessons for liberated artists and offer insights to inspire and guide your artistic journey.

Whether you're a fine artist looking to expand your horizons or seeking inspiration to break new ground, this episode offers practical advice and wisdom to help you thrive as a liberated artist. Don't miss the opportunity to discover alternative perspectives on marketing, branding, and the creative process, and learn how to carve your unique path in the art world.
