Episode 25: Spreading Yourself Too Thin

Creative Type Podcast: Conversations for visual artists and art lovers

In today’s episode of Creative Type Podcast, Lori and Jaime meet in Lori’s studio and chat in person about spreading your time too thinly over too many things and how that isn’t a productive way to accomplish business.

They chat about having too many galleries and/or retail stores to keep things fresh for all of them. As well as too many social media accounts to keep up with. It’s best to figure out which 2 or maybe 3 if you’re really organized.

Finally, even having too many lunches with friends and saying yes to too many family or friends can make you feel like you’re spreading yourself too thin.

CALL FOR IDEAS FROM LISTENERS: Lori and Jaime are planning a fun episode of chatting about movies or books that contain artists. We both love to watch a movie or read a book that has an artist as the main character or at least a close side kick. Send us your ideas via email or dm on any socials for this podcast by including any movies or books you’ve read or even just heard about. It can be fiction or non fiction and doesn’t need to include your review unless you’d like to share. Links to what your suggestions are would be much appreciated but not necessary. We’ll mention your name for your contribution to the show! Thank you for joining in the show!

Usually, in each episode, we include bits of our personal lives into the discussion. Think of it as sitting with your two artist friends chatting about art, the art biz and life. Grab a cup of your favorite beverage and join us.
