Professional artist, entrepreneur, teacher and author Jodie King visited with Studio 512 about what’s new.

Jodie has a new podcast out – 10 episodes now – revealing the secrets to how she turned her passion into a thriving business. “In a society that often tells us to find our passion and follow it, few people ever take the time to learn what it takes to actually make a living doing what they love.” Jodie pulls back the curtain on what it takes to build a thriving art business. This encouraging show aims to teach listeners everything they need to know about making their art dreams a reality. Jodie says that the motivation is not just for artists; whatever journey you’re on, hearing the ups, downs and breakthroughs of Jodie’s – and other artists’ – journeys can inspire any person in any industry.
