Summary

Well, hello and welcome to this rather different episode where Alice is put on the spot (gently!) by Jo McCarthy who works as a mentor for creatives - and also within Connected Artist Club (it's open now - but we close on 31st May, so don't delay!)

This conversation digs a bit deeper into what it really means to build a creative life... is it always easy? And if not, then why is it so important? ‘How does she do it all’ could actually be the wrong question - why does she do it all

We talk about a focus on relationships, not just transactional and documenting the messy parts of being an artist. Is that where the real work lies? What if it's not comfortable - how do you decide what to share?

And we finish with ideas for what would be on your vision board - and talk about sea-salted chocolate!

Connected Artist Club is open until 31st May 2023

Quick! You can join here now before we close! ⁠www.soulrocketstudio.com/may⁠

So let's go for it. Joe, tell us a little bit though before we do it because I'm kind of just going to hand over to you so do a little bit of an introduction. So my role in

2:38.0	My roles before that have been really working one-to-one with clients who want to sell online. So with artists, with makers, with shop curators and so that's a little bit about me but I think that's enough about me
