    SEASON TWO OF LET’S GO AGAIN HAS ARRIVED!

    This season of LGA has a very specific flavor: let’s call it Ghost Pepper.

    It might sting a little, but it’s also going to clear your sinuses and reveal that your lungs have about 15% more capacity than you originally thought.

    The deep breaths will just be that deep.

    With this season, I have one very specific intent: to convince as many independent artists as possible that they are holding a stacked hand. And then, to play it.

    Is this Self-Help? Is this Motivational Speaking? Is this Warm and Fuzzy Feel Good Stuff™?

    No.

    K, then what is?

    This, as the subtitle alludes to, is a philosophical and practical guide for indie creatives. Not only will we discuss how-to kinds of things:

    * tending to the long term artist-audience relationship

    * figuring out your content plan vs. art plan

    * how to write cold emails that you actually feel PROUD OF

    * the revenue *right in front of you* (on THAT table, yes)

    * making industry connections in a way that doesn’t induce a shame spiral

    But ALSO things like:

    * how applying an intentional infrastructure to your career is a safeguard against crazy dystopian uncertainty

    * building new worlds, universes, and thought patterns in the collective so we can have nice things again

    * the role of the artist in society

    * the way making art ends up making social media and other annoying non-negotiable things both irrelevant and negotiable

    And a plethora of other surprises along the way!

    IN TODAY’S EPISODE, we’ll answer these questions:

    * What do you actually want from “breaking in” to the [insert your industry (mine is film) here]?

    * How’d people be artists in the 20th century?

    * How’re people being artists now, in the 21st century?

    * What do we have to embrace/reject to be a 21st Century Artist?

    * What does writing have to do with getting attention?

    * What’s the big mistake when it comes to posting your work?

    * Is teaching the only way to make money as an indie artist?

    * Why is a POV so important for indie artists?

    * What is the ultimate goal of working outside of the system?

    One last thing, if you like this episode…

    Please consider texting it to a friend. :)

    Okay!

    That’s it!

    Enjoy!
