Alondra discusses her own personal metrics for success that she uses in lieu of social media; the importance of contributing to your creative community; "trends" and "cringe" in content creation as an artist; and the pressure I think we have all experienced at some point or another to create faster than we're comfortable in order to appease the algorithm. In this episode Alondra also considers what it means to show up as your best authentic self online. Listen today to hear her thoughts on these topics and more!

In this episode Maggie is joined by Michelle ( @littleredheartart / @mmarketingbroward ) to talk about common places that artists are largely missing the boat in the world of business and opportunities. Michelle discusses places where all artists need to be putting themselves out there, even when that's asking us to step outside of our comfort zone; the easiest way to take back your time and energy in content creation; how to stand out online and in person as an artist; and the biggest mistake Michelle sees artists make that turns into lost opportunities (hint: it isn't competition!). In this episode Michelle also considers who is really in charge in the Art World™️. Listen today to hear her thoughts on these topics and more!
