Episode 128 – Maintaining a Daily Art Practice with Alanna Cartier

Do you struggle with keeping up an art practice? Do the 100 day challenges you see on social media overwhelm you? You are not alone! On today’s episode, we have Alanna Cartier, an illustrator, to share some of her wisdom on creating and maintaining a daily art practice. We loved this conversation and left inspired and ready to get back to creating daily!

About Alanna
Alanna is an illustrator, collector of cookbooks, mother to one fat cat, and cultivator of genius hair. She believes that talent is a myth that can stop us from pursuing our creative passions, and that practice makes progress and perfection is imaginary (and boring to boot!). She believes in community and collaboration over competition, and helps run the Everyday Creatives, an online creative cooperative. Alanna is a self-professed nerd for learning, and spends a generous amount of time on Skillshare, where she teaches and hunting for new classes to love.

Episode 124 – Navigating the Amazon Jungle with Rob Schad

Have you thought about selling on Amazon? Us too! There are a lot of myths about selling on Amazon as a maker so we needed backup. Rob Schad is a successful Amazon seller and also helps sellers up their game. We are so excited to have him on the show to answer all of our Amazon questions. As a bonus, Rob will be in the Facebook group if you have more questions after the episode. See you there!

About Rob
Rob made the decision to go left when all go right and “opt out” of going to college. In a short 13 months he started a business and grew it too over 250k in revenue. Since that point he has gone on to launch multiple other ventures including another Amazon based storefront and an Amazon marketing agency. He now focuses on working with purpose driven companies sell more of their product via Amazon.
