Send us a textHave you ever felt uncomfortable promoting your creative work? That internal resistance to "shouting from the rooftops" is something nearly every artist faces. Today, I'm diving into why self-promotion isn't selfish—it's necessary.As creatives running small businesses, we wear countless hats. The marketing hat often feels most awkward, but it's essential for connecting your work with the people who need it. I share my own journey of promoting my studio through everything from $5 social media boosts to local billboards, while emphasizing that authenticity trumps perfection every time. Your unique creative voice—the way you draw a line, mix colors, or approach your craft—deserves to be seen and celebrated.The community you build around your work becomes your most powerful marketing engine. When someone experiences what you offer and tells a friend, that connection sparks a chain reaction that no paid advertisement can match. I've witnessed this firsthand as my studio has grown, with visitors often mentioning they followed me online or heard about my space from someone else. These connections fuel my transition from healthcare professional to full-time studio owner, allowing me to fully invest in my creative community.Remember that sharing your work isn't about ego—it's about inspiration. Your creative journey might be exactly what someone else needs to see to begin their own. Whether you're creating to sell or simply for personal fulfillment, your authentic voice matters. What creative passion are you ready to share with the world?Support the showCatch the doodles on YouTubeMy socials:Sign up for my monthly newsletterPortfolio website: Brewtifully.comInstagram: /BrewtifullyFacebook: /brewtifullyTikTok: GettingSmallwithGrandmaLinkedIn: Tracy Dawn Brewer

He also held the position of Manager of Artist Development for Curb Records, representing such label acts as Tim McGraw, LeAnn Rimes, Jo Dee Messina, and Hank Williams Jr. In addition, Bob oversaw the Christian retail division for the label, and helped develop it into a million-dollar division for the company, eventually becoming the Director of Sales for Curb Records. Bender went on to manage the legendary Michael Martin Murphey's record label “WestFest Records”. Under Bob's direction, Murphey re-released his 1970's hit single “Wildfire” as a new mix with the popular country group “Lonestar”, appearing on mainstream radio after an absence of over 20 years, with over 400 country stations playing his hit song, along with appearances on television, including CBS's “Late Night with David Letterman”. Bob has also overseen television promotion and infomercial marketing campaigns for various country, pop, and Christian artists. He has produced, co-produced, and marketed numerous concert DVD projects, including Tommy Cash's “Fade to Black” concert and Eric Durrance's “Turn It Off” video (which climbed to #17 on GAC's “Country Countdown” charts).

Bush's 1989 presidential inauguration, the “Billy Preston Live in Atlanta” concert, and the USO's “Operation Homecoming” television concert special filmed aboard the USS Ranger aircraft carrier during Desert Storm.  In 2015, Bender entered a new direction by beginning production on a television series titled “Songs in the Spotlight,” the first season of which was picked up by Hulu.  In addition to his television credits, Bob has produced multiple album projects, including a live-in concert CD for Grammy-award-winning artist Billy Preston, Gospel recording artist Joanne Cash (Johnny Cash's sister), Americana act Steven L.

In this episode, Sam Mollaei and Neil Tyra discuss why legal skills alone don't guarantee success and share strategies to help you thrive in today's competitive market.Learn the essentials to run a law practice like a business, how to take calculated risks, and use marketing to stand out.This episode shares insights on how to balance introversion and stay ahead of tech trends, plus tools to turn challenges into growth opportunities.Key Takeaways from Sam and Neil:1. Not Learning the Business Side of LawWhile many lawyers are skilled in law, few are taught business essentials like financial management and client acquisition, making it harder to grow their practice.Investing in business knowledge or hiring experts for accounting, marketing, and operations can bridge this gap.2. Not Understanding Marketing in a Saturated SpaceWith intense competition in law, standing out now requires a proactive marketing approach beyond legal expertise.Mastering digital marketing basics like SEO and social media—or partnering with specialists—will help attract clients early on.3. Staying in the Comfort Zone and Not Taking Enough RiskRisk aversion limits growth, especially as competition and technology rapidly transform the industry.Lawyers who evaluate risks and take bold, calculated actions are better positioned to advance their practices.4. Being Introverted or Extroverted When a Balance Is NeededBalancing introversion with extroverted skills is essential for building trust, networking, and connecting with clients.Adopting an approachable presence—both in person and online—helps create client confidence and professional credibility.5. Failing to Keep Up with Changing Industry Trends and Tech InnovationsAs technology accelerates, lawyers must adapt to stay relevant and meet clients' evolving needs.Staying updated on tools like CRM software and AI enhances client service, efficiency, and competitiveness in a fast-paced field. "If you're an introvert, you cannot just be an introvert in business. God favors the bold, and God wants you to be a well-rounded person." — Sam Mollaei"Lawyers are particularly risk-averse…we're trained to be risk-averse, and that's not consistent with creating a great practice. You have to take risks." — Neil Tyra
