Notes: "On Art & Money"
Mon Aug 11 2025
In this episode, I talk about the balancing act of creativity with making a living. Money and music. Rent and riffs. I share ideas I’ve collected over the years from musicians, writers, and artists I respect - people who’ve figured out how to keep the lights on and make work worth making.
You don’t buy a motorcycle just so you can buy gas. You didn’t start creating just because the money it could make you. The goal isn’t just to survive - it’s to make something great, and making enough money to keep going.
