Breaking the Myth of the Starving Artist with Jillian Todd

Business as Activism with Elijah Selby

May 14 2024 • 1 hr

"I love talking about rich artists!" That's what Jillian Todd wrote on the her google form to be on the podcast and I instantly knew I had to talk to this woman!!! The cultural narratives we hear greatly affect us--and most often they are holding us down and holding us back. In this episode we talk about:

•Breaking the stigma of artists being "starving" and finding financial stability through creative careers.

•Generosity, self-love, and harm reduction in activism.

•The binary of "starving artist" vs. "luxury VIP" and finding a balance. •Investing in art, finding local artists, and making money through various means.

•Defining success for creative entrepreneurs, with a focus on financial stability and making a living while honoring values.

And so much more!! I am so excited for you to hear this conversation. Please subscribe, review, and share--I need a village to get the word out there! Thank you.
