147: New Constraints, The Underneath, An Apple Tree...

Business of Being Creative with Sean Low ·

2024/02/27

Constraints are nothing new. Creative businesses have always operated in a window. I have never met a designer who is perpetually free to create as she sees fit without regard to budget, style or even geography. The new reality we all find ourselves in is that a new constraint has been foisted on all of us. The price of every physical human interaction is now perpetually present. It means the intrinsic nature of art has become ever more indelible. Enter the underneath, an apple tree and horses for

145: Imagining The Future

Business of Being Creative with Sean Low ·

2024/02/13

Creative business is literally about creating a world that has never existed. To imagine. Too often though we get trapped into the curse of knowledge, and lose the humility to know that you do not know. History has shown that failure to imagine the future is the curse of intelligence and the demise of the well intended. For creative business, it is the road to commodification and irrelevance. So let's talk about how to avoid tunnel vision. Listen in... Original Episode Number: 39 | Original Air

144: Race To The Top

Business of Being Creative with Sean Low ·

2024/02/06

By all accounts 2021 will be a rebirth for creative business. We will hopefully put the pandemic behind us and art will reemerge. The question will be how to handle it. My advice, race to the top. To do so you will have to be radically, unapologetically, idiosyncratic. You will need to convince yourself that best is indeed a verb, not a noun because when you do you will invest in the best of you, you art and your creative business. And from there you will justly reap the rewards of being on the top

Business of Being Creative with Sean Low ·

2024/01/30

Pricing is a fraught subject no matter the time. Through in a global pandemic and cultural upheaval in the United States and the rubber band stretches ever thinner. As with all things foundation is everything. What "it" costs is not the same thing as what you cost. Oh and cost is for toothpaste, investment is for art. Let's talk Mercedes and leather seats and speaking of leather seats, let's talk Bentley. Original Episode Number: 12 | Original Air Date: 7/28/2020 Links & Resources: Host: Sean Low of

Business of Being Creative with Sean Low ·

2024/01/23

Faith is the courage of conviction. Faith is the prerequisite to courage and integrity. Faith is facile and simultaneously hopeful and hopeless. Faith is what you need to see your creative business through. Enter the story of the swimming dog, Craigslist and letting kids have cake for breakfast. Listen in...

Business of Being Creative with Sean Low ·

2023/07/18

We all grew up and are taught the value of a factory. Efficiency. Low cost. Scale. And you have tried to force your creative business into the paradigm. You measure volume of work, hours, effort, not ideas, emotional intelligence or really anything reflecting the value of relationship. Your creative business is not a factory so stop acting like it is. Links & Resources: Host: Sean Low of The Business of Being Creative Have your own opinion on Sean's tips and advice? Talk Back!!
