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 269: Kill Hope

When you think about it, the statement "I hope…" is almost always about something external happening that may or may not directly affect you, but is certainly in your universe. You have no control over "I hope". The results of "I hope" are as random as a flip of the coin. In the context of your art and your creative business, please, pretty please, kill hope and find your faith.

Episode 267: Greed Is For Fools

Knowing what you need to live the life you wish is the key to your success as a creative business. How much do you need and how much do you want to work?

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.
