The Myth of the Starving Artist

The stubborn myth of the “starving artist,” the threadbare but exuberant poet who has to choose between ink and food, isn’t just false, it’s toxic. Notions like this drain your energy and either get you chasing dollars for all the wrong reasons or encourage others to take advantage of you by undervaluing your work.  In this episode, we talk about how believing in the myth is a self-fulfilling prophecy and how we can start to change our attitudes toward money. Enjoy!
