Artists have more access to fans, inspiration, and promotion than ever, yet so many aren’t taking advantage? Why? Because they’re scared. Or frustrated. Or have too much negativity in their lives. Cut that shit out! In this episode, taken from an Instagram Live from a couple months back, I share some of my thoughts on how you can get over whatever mental barriers are keeping you from sharing your art with the world in the digital age.
