Lennon Bone, one of my first creative coaches, from «Stop the starving artist», his company that helps artists monetize and build community around their art online. Make a hot beverage and enjoy this heartwarming, laughter filled conversation about business and art and humans and appreciation and the magic of a voice note sent at the right time.
We talk about (amongst other things):
- the gift of internet
- what lies beyond social media
- our matching core values of making people feel seen and heard
- how do you scale kindness?
- how money could equal time
- finding your voice as an artist
- how looking backwards makes the now make more sense
- how business can be a tool that helps you be a better person and overcome fears
- one of Lennons silliest promises for value
- being human and doing what you can with what you have is enough
- the more you do something worth doing, the more you will be chastised for it.
- how ANYTHING can be misunderstood by the wrong person
- the infinite game and checking what you’re playing for
- where do you put your f’s and your efforts
- books!
- to outgrow things and letting go
- how tiny things unexpectedly change your life
- what happiness means to Lennon
- a big fear when it comes to reaches new levels
- sitting down with a new mess and self trust
- anticipation and dopamine and the pursuit vs the result
- a helpful belief when engagement is low
- screenshots and actions to remind yourself of who you are
- meeting friends from the Internet in real life
And of course, the top two things that makes him unreasonably happy <3
