Welcome to Ballsy, the podcast where I interview successful artists and creators on how they got the balls to sell their art, and turn their art practice into profitable businesses. As a former entrepreneur turned artist, I realized that being an artist is basically like running a small startup, and you, the artist, are the CEO. I talk to artists and talk about their businesses, talk real numbers, growth hacks, tools and tricks and how they were ballsy enough to make art their career
