Following Her Curiosity and Making New Connections After 60 with Jan McCarthy (#158)

In this episode, I talk with Jan McCarthy, who
wants you to know that there is plenty of life to live after 50.
And even 60.


She describes herself as a maker because, in her eyes, that term
encompasses more than the word “artist.”


Jan has started businesses, founded organizations, designed
interiors, organized fundraisers, dinner parties, retreats, and
workshops, and made plenty of products and art.


Jan and I discuss:


The creativity workshops she has organized for corporations.

How she has brought together monthly mastermind meetings of
women, and why a casual dinner party was the best format for
them.

Why her project Art for the Heart is important for her as
someone who has lived with heart disease for more than 25 years.

How she makes connections with interior designers, what the
best social media platforms are for designers, and some of their
concerns.

How she gets such great photos of herself.



While I’m in the midst of discussing multiple income sources on
this podcast and on YouTube, I don’t think Jan thinks of her
efforts in terms of income sources. She just follows the themes
that interest her. If they turn into income sources, well, that’s
fine, too.

️ COMING UP: THE MONEY PLAN


If you aren’t clear about where your money is coming from, I
strongly encourage you to figure it out. It’s only with that
clarity that you can plan properly for the future. I can help
with that.


Soon after the release of this episode I’ll be leading The Money
Plan artist success workshop. Seating at the live sessions of the
workshop—where you can ask questions and interact with other
artist-planners—will be limited, and there will also be a replay
available. But if you want to attend live, you need to get on the
interest list. You can hit pause right now and go to
artbizsuccess.com/moneyplan to make sure you don’t miss it.


️ The Art Biz is recorded on the traditional land of the
Cheyenne, Arapaho and Ute tribes.
