For the final installment of their month long theme of COURAGE, Melissa and Lisa talk about what it is like to take risks as an artist; specifically distinguishing between entrepreneurial risks and artistic risks. They address common concerns for artists that will help you work through some of the most common risks creatives are faced with. This includes a discussion on what it looks like to leave your day job to become a full time artist, or to explore different platforms in which you can get your art into the world. This episode is just what any creator, artist or maker needs to hear as they contemplate taking that next step.
