In this episode of The Artist Business Plan we sit down with artist and mental health advocate, Rich Simmons. Rich leads an awesome masterclass on identifying your brand as an artist and finding your creative release. Figure out how you want to present yourself and how you want to improve the world and the rest will fall into place. Enjoy the victories as you go and create space for yourself to breathe, destress, and the creativity will come.
“If I want to get something in life, I could use my creativity to get it.” - Rich Simmons
