This week’s episode of the Artist Academy Podcast features an Atlanta-based multi-passionate artist Elise Garcia. Elise has a positively infectious energy about her that I know will spill onto you to brighten your day. Her outlook on living a fearless life is commendable as she has some hilariously terrible travel incidents to share with us today.

On the art side of things, Elise is still very much in the building phase of her business and trying anything and everything she feels called to.

One big tip I picked up from this interview is something I will 100% be implementing this year: collaborations. The best way to attract your ideal customer is to go somewhere they are already hanging out… like on another person’s Instagram page. Since everyone is on the social media hampster wheel of creating reels nowadays, my plan is to take some of that work off their to-do list (because I like creating videos) in trade for being seen by their audience. How can you be of value to someone who has what you want? Something to think about this Monday.

Let me know what you think of this week’s episode with Elise Garcia.
