163: Perfectionism vs. Vision

Business of Being Creative with Sean Low ·

2024/06/18

Perfectionism lives within so many artists. Cliches abound: “Perfect is the enemy of good”, “Be the best”, “Profit and perfect are mutually incompatible.” Really it is a conversation about Creation versus Craft. Enter Jiro Loves Sushi.

162: Be Grateful: Shun The Non-Believers

Business of Being Creative with Sean Low ·

2024/06/11

Creative business is built on the microscopic. For so many creative businesses, the very idea of serving more than 500 customers in a year is silly. Most are built on less than 50. And yet we speak in platitudes and generalities not radical authenticity. We do it because we have framed the conversation in terms of fear and rejection. How about we consider being grateful as we shun the non-believers. Listen in… Original Episode Number: 26 | Original Air Date: 11/3/2020 Links & Resources: Host: Sean

161: Emotional Resonance, Professionalism, Stillness,...

Business of Being Creative with Sean Low ·

2024/06/04

Emotional resonance is what separates you, the artist, from the rest of us. While you have a gift at your craft, that is not why you are paid. You are paid to be professional, to make us feel and to feel while not getting lost in the emotion of the moment. Simultaneously, engaged and removed from the situation. Enter stillness, a flashlight and generosity. Listen in… Original Episode Number: 8 | Original Air Date: 6/30/2020 Links & Resources: Host: Sean Low of The Business of Being Creative

Business of Being Creative with Sean Low ·

2024/05/21

Transparency is not Saran Wrap. It is being secure in what you charge and then knowing how you are going to earn it. As clients get smarter, value is not about being relative to competition, it is about knowing what you earn and when. Let’s talk bananas.

I am going to talk about a story that is near and dear to me. I have told this story and its importance to creative business many times. I have even told it at a college commencement speech I was so honored to give a few years ago. It is the story of Dick Fosbury and his path to winning the gold medal for the high jump in the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City. You might say, huh? What does this have to do with my business?

157: Treating Great Customers Better

Business of Being Creative with Sean Low ·

2024/05/07

Most creative businesses are caught in the new client trap. They take on a project and then use the success of that project to get another (and another). Very little is ever offered to the great client to treat them better. It does not have to be this way. Let’s talk about Soul Cycle and Peloton.

156: Risk, Vulnerability And Purpose

Business of Being Creative with Sean Low ·

2024/04/30

Every business takes a risk, that is the very nature of business. The question is whether you are properly paid for that risk. If risk is being vulnerable then the choice to be vulnerable has to be yours. Otherwise, you turn singular risk into exploding risk. Defining risk requires purpose and purpose requires intentional idiosyncracy.

2024/04/23

When we contemplate what is next, too often we want to be derivative of what has come before. Sure, we need to acknowledge the benefit of history, ultimately though we have to stretch beyond the realm of possible. Let’s talk about the movie War Games.

In the midst of the existential crisis we find ourselves in, all creative business is being upended. Sure, some are busy, but most are suffering from a prolonged winter — actors, musicians, event professionals, chefs, just to name a few. So the house is coming down. To rebuild it, design first. For design to come first, you must be judged, you must take concentrated risk. Enter a discussion about placebos and Ralph Lifshitz from the Bronx.

Business of Being Creative with Sean Low ·

2024/04/09

We all might say that we want to make real change, but the inertia to change is real. We hope that yesterday will carry us forward and doubling down on the old will prevail against the new.

Art is shaped and shapes culture. If you are in the business of creating art, what does that exactly mean for you? How are you to incorporate this responsibility into touchstones of your work? Defining a market is nothing new, but defining culture with the market? Getting paid to honor culture and shift it? That is new. Enter Loving v. Virginia, The Ivory Trade, and End of Life Services.

Business of Being Creative with Sean Low ·

2024/03/12

The story of your art and your business are not the same but they rely on each other. The key components of story is trust, tension and resolution. How you hold each component is what sets the path for your success as both an artist and a business. The real question is that if I scratched your name off of your contract would I know it is you?
