Advice for Anyone Who Wants to Help the Artist in Their Life (ep. 208)

This is a letter I wrote in 2017 to help a concerned father

of artists and how they can be most helpful.


My 7 pieces of advice (outlined in the timestamps below) isn’t
given lightly and is based on decades of experience working with
artists.
