About the show

I'm Sean Low, and I've been lending practical business advice to those in the business of being creative since the early 2000s, including accomplished notables such as Preston Bailey, Vicente Wolf, Nate Berkus, Sawyer Berson, Style Me Pretty, Marcy Blum, Michelle Rago, and Sylvia Weinstock--to name a few. The key to my own success has been my ability to help artists build their businesses in a way that most honors the art that is behind them. I'll give you straight up, no holds barred advice on handling what happens from deal to done. The journey with your client begins when they first connect with you, whether digitally or in real life. And from that moment until the project is finished, you have the power to manifest an experience and journey with them that's transformative for all. Everyone should be creative. Whatever your art is, it should invigorate you and bring you joy. And if it happens to be your business, it should bring you the money you need to KEEP being creative. Hopefully, I will challenge you each week to do just that. So, let's not just think outside the box… Let's erase it!

Episode 266: Is It Frivolous?

When you see what it all costs to create, it is very easy to say, why? When the world demands crisis, how can you talk about things that are not in crisis? How do you navigate the responsibility of living as opposed to surviving? It is called being an artist and appreciating the timing of it all will always lead back to you.

Episode 265: Just Swim

There is always a better way, better than what I might offer, what you might offer. Who cares? There is no end to better, only the work to get to the very place you will never reach. When the delusion of better resides at your fingertips, we give up the search and the meaning of the search itself. Let's talk about a dog swimming in the ocean.

Episode 263: Can You Be A Chameleon?

Art is impactful to the patron as they find themselves in it. We enjoy art from our own worldview. The ultimate Rorschach Test. Artistry, on the other hand, is a singular journey.
