297 - Why Creatives are Struggling and Where to Refocus Your Energy with William Deresiewicz
“There’s never been a better time to be a creative person!”
You’ve heard this before, but is it true? Is it your experience?
Best Selling author William Deresiewicz decided to try and answer this question by interviewing hundreds of artists (spoiler: I was one of them!) and diving deep into research. All of his remarkable findings are in his new book “The Death of the Artist: How Creators Are Struggling to Survive in the Age of Billionaires and Big Tech”.
In this episode we dive deep into this work and tease out the pitfalls to watch out for, as well as areas where it’s smart to invest yourself as a modern creative.
This book and this interview is a gift to creatives and I hope you find it as cathartic and validating as I did.
