Скачать или смотреть Freedom or Food: The Artist’s First Trade-Off

In the first episode of The Artist’s Mindset, I explore one of the hardest decisions creatives face:

Do you pursue art full-time and accept the compromises that come with making money from your craft…
or keep your art as a passion and protect the joy that made you fall in love with it in the first place?

Being a full-time artist can mean playing gigs you don’t love, taking commercial work, or bending creatively to survive. Staying a hobby artist can preserve your freedom — but often limits your ability to earn from what you love.

There’s no single right answer. Only the right answer for you.

This series is about the real psychological and philosophical challenges artists face -musicians, writers, creators, and anyone trying to build something meaningful.

This episode will also become Chapter 1 of an upcoming booklet built from these conversations, so you’re seeing the ideas develop in real time.

If you’re an artist navigating your own path, I’d love to hear your experience in the comments.
