Episode notes

Aaron has a story about violinists who decided to create a yoga retreat for musicians. He says you don't have to have all the perfect qualifications in place before experimenting and even taking a project public. Aaron reached out to some menters for help, including some pretty big names. And he ended up helping me pay off my student loan so that i could return to school with the sense of 'I want to do my music now'

Elaine picked up watercolor painting during her two year, cross country RV adventure with her family. She quickly fell in love with gorgeous nature scenes and found the creative process meditative and healing. But now she’s wondering if her art could be something more. On this episode of How To!, multitalented artist Aaron Dworkin has tips for Elaine and other aspiring artists on how to live a ‘portfolio life’ by finding your signature style, following your passions and ultimately getting paid. He also shares insights for unlocking your creativity even if you don’t fancy yourself an artist.
