Being an artist who is trying to do something with her work, the Startist Society is a gem of a podcast! I enjoy listening to Laura and Nikki and always get informative and thoughtful tips from either them or their guests. So happy to have found them!
I loved the witty banter between Laura and Nikki! The episode on crafting an elevator pitch was insightful with helpful tips on how to craft one. Thanks ladies! Loved it.
So rare to find a podcast that actually walks you through the steps of how to go about doing something. So many other pods give vague descriptions of marketing by saying “just post to Insta every x days” or “submit your artwork by following the instructions on the company website” but not many walk you through the steps of doing that, explain exactly what to post, submit, etc, or explain the why. Thank you ladies! Keep it up. Would be happy to support in other ways if you ever need it.
Relatable, funny, full of good content and guests. Listening since the very beginning and LOVE it. If you’re a creative or an artist, this is a must listen
