Producing an Artist Podcast with Miriam Schulman (#34)

*~* This episode is sponsored by the Art Career Success
System, a 1-year training program that gives you the time and
space to build a strong and reliable business foundation for your
art.  See ArtCareerSuccessSystem.com *~* 

Living the artist’s life doesn’t necessarily flow with owning a
business—with gaining valuable business skills that help you earn
income from your creativity.


But every so often I come across artists who are just as
interested in learning about business as they are in being an
artist. And I feature them in my interviews on the podcast and
blog.


Miriam Schulman is one of those artists. She discovered a gift
secondary to her art—a curiosity about how the art business
works. Combined with the fact that she loves to talk and ask
questions, Miriam found her calling in her weekly podcast, The
Inspiration Place.


But it was a lot of work to start, and it’s a lot of work to keep
up. If you have ever considered starting a podcast or sharing
your story on a podcast, this episode of the Art Biz Podcast is
for you.


In this interview you’ll hear about: 


Miriam’s background in engineering and corporate finance and
how she found the courage to transition to a full-time
artist. 

How she promoted her work early on and why she still believes
in using a brag book. 

The teaching spot she created called The Inspiration Place to
collaborate with other artist teachers.

What gave Miriam the idea to start a weekly podcast under The
Inspiration Place umbrella and how she committed to making it
happen a few months later.

The production team and systems Miriam has behind her now and
the coaches and mentors that have helped her along the way. 

Why she feels that podcasting is the perfect platform for her
to share her voice and build her influence. 

Miriam’s decision to focus on business lessons and
translating them as they pertain to artists specifically. 

Her automated process for inviting and booking guests and her
advice for artists who pitch to be on her show. 

Why Miriam plans to keep podcasting every week and how it
serves her in her business.
