Episode 166: Build Your Own Art Reset This Fall (Nobody Else Will) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every January, artists promise themselves this is the year they finally show up consistently in the studio. By February, the sketchbook's still blank. Jodie has a different theory: fall, not January, is the real reset, because it doesn't ask us to rely on willpower the way New Year's resolutions do. In this episode, Jodie walks through why the September feeling never actually leaves us, even once nobody's handing us a new school year anymore. She shares the three questions she asks herself every
Episode 165: Why Your Art Isn't Selling on Social Media (Even With Followers) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Your comment section is full and your inbox is empty. In this episode, Jodie breaks down why an engaged audience and a buying audience are not the same thing, and the four specific things missing from almost every art post that keep followers from ever becoming collectors. Jodie walks through the psychology of familiarity and parasocial trust, why price transparency matters more than most artists think, and the story behind a painting she sold called Finding the Way, using it to show the differe
Episode 164: The $20,000 Decision I Made With Zero Proof It Would Work (opens the original)

Jodie also shares the story of Studio Elite alum Jodie Gear, who applied the night before the deadline with shaking hands, and has
Episode 163: Playing Small Isn't Humility, It's Fear In A Costume (opens the original)

That's fear, dressed up in a really convincing costume. In this episode, Jodie names the three lies keeping artists small, even ones who are already selling: that success will cost you the joy, that visible ambition means public failure, and that claiming this life means giving up who you already are. She shares stories from h
Episode 162: She Called Herself an Artist for the First Time ft. Sue White (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Six years ago, Sue White picked up a paintbrush for the first time. Before that, she spent decades building a career in the furniture/design industry that came with a lot of perfectionism and people pleasing standing between her and calling herself an artist. But then everything changed. In this episode, Sue joins Jodie to talk about the exact moment that changed, an offhand comment in an airport that turned into the first time she said the words I'm an artist out loud. Not long after, she sold
