    Came for Hayley prices episode and stayed for more! I’m not an artist myself, but as a PR coach for many artists and creatives, I’m always looking for resources I can recommend them. (And just as someone who loves art, these are powerful stories) Diversity often gets thrown around as a buzzword, but not in this case! Love that Alyson is highlighting such diverse artists!

    What a terrific show this morning! I began painting less than 4 years ago. I’m 72 now and can clearly see how the work adds up. Just launched a website to get my work out there for sale. Struggling artist and all that! Your show really hit on my own situation and hopefully will give me some guidance going forward as I’m economically insecure in every area. Thanks for a really useful podcast Alyson! And thanks to Alissa Grant for her wonderful story.

Will you be ready if your art goes viral? with Jenny McCarty (277)
Q: What sparked the National Parks Sticker Project and how did it start to go viral?

You know what to do but you're not doing it: ADHD and your art business with Georgie Coote (273)
Q: What practical tools does Georgie suggest for artists to manage ADHD in their business?
Practical tools include visual systems like Kanban boards or Trello, post-it note dashboards, time-limiting strategies, body doubling for accountability, movement before tasks to boost dopamine, and experimenting with small 'tiny steps' to lower the starting barrier.
You know what to do but you're not doing it: ADHD and your art business with Georgie Coote (273)
Q: How does ADHD show up in creative people?
ADHD often brings a flood of ideas with difficulty in selecting where to start, challenges with task initiation, and a tendency to lose time in 'flow' while neglecting other business tasks; however, once in flow, creators can be highly engaged and productive in their art.
