    I really enjoy Andrea and her podcast. Something I really like about Andrea is how open and free she is with information. Often times artists keep tips, tricks and pricing to themselves because they have a scarcity mindset. It is refreshing to listen to someone with an abundance mindset

  • Down To earth sharing realness for artists

    Andrea is one of my very favorite podcasters, she seems so genuine and so freely offers so much great advice to other artists. I also love the way she mixes up the topics and guests for her podcasts, a great listen while I paint or driving in the car-thanks for all the interesting conversations :)

    SO much good information-it’s helped me so much in my art business. If she doesn’t know how to do it, she asks another artist. I learned the business side of art and how to continue to find out what I don’t know.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

444. Nina Valkhoff - Europe - May Mural Month
Q: How did you get started painting?
Nina explains starting around age 18–19 while studying in Rotterdam, taking on a first wall for a salsa venue, and gradually turning these commissions into a full mural practice.
443. Peachzz - Europe - May Mural Month
Q: How did you get your first mural jobs and make the leap to full-time work?
Starting as a prolific graffiti artist doing small walls, she gradually earned money for paint, increased earnings, and eventually left two jobs to pursue murals full-time after recognizing the growth and demand for her work.
438. Tetyana Bibik - Canada - May Mural Month
Q: What role does winter play in your scheduling and income?
Winter is a slower season outdoors in Toronto, so I focus on indoor projects, applying to RFPs for public art, and building relationships for the spring-summer rush while managing a family-centered schedule.
438. Tetyana Bibik - Canada - May Mural Month
Q: How do you typically reach out to potential clients?
I use a small Gmail-based email template that includes samples of my work and a clear value proposition about transforming a wall, followed by personalized outreach to local businesses. Customization increases response rates, and I follow up within 3-4 days if there's no reply.
434. Behind the Scenes of a Multi-Million Dollar Photography Business with Scott Proposki
Q: What is your core offer to other photographers who want to turn their passion into a sustainable business?
Identify a clear, tangible offer, learn to articulate it in a concise 30-second pitch, and focus on sales calls and follow-ups; coaching then expands to group/community support to sustain growth.
