03/03/23 • 97 min
In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Andrew Simonet, a choreographer and writer who shared his insights and experiences on making a life as an artist. We also discussed the importance of cultivating a strong work ethic, building a supportive community, and taking risks in pursuit of one's artistic goals.
Andrew reflects on the unique challenges faced by artists, including financial instability, self-doubt, and the pressure to constantly innovate and create. He offers practical advice on how to navigate these challenges, emphasizing the importance of staying focused on one's vision, staying connected to one's values, and finding joy in the creative process itself.
