Welcome to part one of our three-part series, 'Killing the Starving Artist Archetype.'

In this episode of the 12th House podcast, hosts Michelle Pellizzon and Katie Dalebout tackle the 'starving artist' myth head-on. They debunk its limiting influence on creatives striving for financial success from their passion. By unraveling the misconception of 'selling out,' they share inspiring stories of artists who've monetized their craft while staying true to their artistic integrity.

Exploring the impact of technology on our views of commercial success, Michelle and Katie offer fresh frameworks for creatives to blend their artistry with profitable ventures without compromising authenticity. This thought-provoking dialogue sparks insights to empower creatives in breaking free from self-imposed limitations and unlocking their true potential.
