In this podcast episode, we dive into the iconic British sitcom Birds of a Feather, which first aired in 1989 and became an instant hit with audiences across the UK. The show follows the lives of Sharon and Tracey, two sisters who find themselves living together in Essex after their husbands are imprisoned for armed robbery. We'll explore how the show became a staple of British television, delivering laughs and warmth over the course of more than 12 years on air, plus a reboot. Pauline Quirke and Linda Robson brought undeniable chemistry and comedic timing to the show, making their characters feel relatable and beloved. We'll delve into how their roles evolved over the series, capturing the complexities of sibling relationships and life's ups and downs.  The episode also examines the role of their posh, eccentric neighbor, Dorien, played by Lesley Joseph, whose flamboyant lifestyle added a new layer of humor and chaos. Dorien quickly became an audience favorite, with her unapologetic attitude and witty one-liners. Her interactions with Sharon and Tracey provided some of the show's most memorable moments, and we'll analyze how her character broke stereotypes and added a layer of satire to the show's portrayal of suburban life.

This week on the show, Sarah, Doreen and Ping are all here to talk about how to stay focused on your own artistic journey. But what is your creative journey? Can you really define it?

The ladies go into depth on the most personal aspect of being an artist.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The ladies start the discussion by laying out the importance of knowing what your journey is and what your journey isn't. Doreen talks about the importance of being self aware on your journey and stopping along the way to take stock of how far you've come.  Sarah sees her journey not as a single straight line, but as many interconnecting lines that have the potential to take her in directions she never imagined.  The ladies talk about the importance of not comparing your journey to that of others, especially those you consider to be more successful.

This week Ping is hosting all by herself, but she is joined by special guest Anna Wilson. Anna is a successful children's book artist and has created works for Bloomsbury, Hachette and the BBC among many others. Anna shares her journey from a career in academia to becoming a successful artist and shares all the lessons she has learned along the way to help you take the next step in your artistic journey.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Anna talks about her journey to becoming an artist. Despite a career in academia, Anna continued to draw as a hobby. When her husband changed jobs this presented Anna with the opportunity to take a look at her career and she took the leap to becoming an artist.  When Anna decided to pursue art as a career she had to retrain from scratch. She talks about the steps she took and some of the courses and skills she learned that helped her along the way. Anna's first big step towards success came when she decided to let go of some of the bad habits she had picked up as a hobbyist. Once she embraced change, she received her first commission which led to her finding an agent. Anna talks about how much she has learned from drawing books as opposed to single pieces of art and shares her knowledge on how you can create better images that will flow as a story.  BEST MOMENTS“Life is too short to not do the thing you really want to do.”“You can't take success for granted. You have to continue to grow and work hard.”“Try not to criticise yourself as much. Your work is a journey, you're not going to be an expert on day one.” ABOUT THE GUESThttps://www.annawilsonink.com/  Anna has spent my life finding magic, often in unexpected places. Someone said to her that she knows how to make even a burning rubbish tip on a riverside look interesting and somehow beautiful.Anna says when she picks up a pen or paint or bottle of ink or an ipad and starts to add lines and colours and create something where there was nothing, she feels like she has come home. She is inspired by people and their stories and she loves to travel. She has been lucky enough to live in Kenya, Mongolia, China, Nepal, Germany, Tasmania, Australia and have travelled through more than 40 countries.Her clients include: Bloomsbury, Hachette, BBC, Cameron Kids Books, BirdLife Australia, Heritage Expeditions, Tribe, Woollykins, Australia Remade, Australian BirdLife Magazine.

In this week's episode of The Best Guest we welcome social media strategist, organic social media specialist, trainer, community manager, and keynote speaker, Dorien Morin-van Dam.We talk about:The Best Ways to Batch ContentHow to Repurpose Podcast InterviewsWhat it Means to Agilify our Social Media CalendarsEvergreen Content Ideas To Reignite our Social Media ConversationsAboutDorien Morin-van Dam is a social media strategist, organic social media specialist, trainer, community manager, and keynote speaker.She has been a social media professional for 10 years and has experience in a multitude of industries. Dorien started out as a local specialist working with both B2C and B2B clients and is currently working with national and international brands. She is a certified Social Media Professional and Agile Marketer. You'll recognize Dorien by her signature orange glasses, a nod to her Dutch heritage.Key TakeawaysBenefits of Batching Content: Batching social media content, such as videos, blog articles, and graphics, can save time and streamline the content creation process. It allows you to focus on one type of task at a time, reducing the need to switch between different creative mindsets. Batching also helps in better planning and scheduling content in advance, ensuring consistent and timely postings.Repurposing Podcast Episodes: Repurposing podcast episodes is an effective strategy to reach a broader audience and maximize content value. Different ways to repurpose include creating audiograms, turning episodes into blog posts or LinkedIn articles, and using various types of graphics and quotes from the podcast. Repetition is essential since not everyone sees content the first time it's posted.Finding Evergreen Content Ideas: To keep social media conversations engaging and relevant, focus on evergreen content. Share behind-the-scenes stories, business highlights, staff events, and community involvements. Highlighting customer success stories and problem-solving content can also be effective. Consume more content to get inspired and generate new ideas for your own posts.Efficient Content Creation for Clients: To efficiently create content for clients, create timestamps during interviews to mark salient points. Use these timestamps to assist your virtual assistant in repurposing content. Remember to find a balance between posting expert guests and guests with a substantial online audience to tap into their followers as well.QuoteEvery single time you talk about the podcast or the episode, you try to highlight something else that they said, right? So it's not the same, but the link goes back to the same podcast each time, because when people, they don't realize they're seeing the same content. They're just realizing you're talking about the same topic.Mentioned in This EpisodeStrategy Talks PodcastOlive KitteridgeThey Ask, You AnswerConnect with Dorien Morin-van DamWebsiteLinkedInInstagram

On this week's show Ping is all by herself, but to make up for the absence of Doreen and Sarah, she is joined by renowned artistic agent Kajsa Blomberg. In a wide ranging interview, Kajsa talks about her journey from being a law graduate to a highly established agent and shares valuable tips and insights for artists that are seeking representation and what they can expect once they have it.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Kajsa graduated from law school, specialising in intellectual property law. After working for Universal music she found herself drawn to working with artists. From there she took the leap to becoming an agent.   Ping and Kajsa discuss the importance of working to your strengths and, in a relationship between an agent and a client, how each must have an understating of the other's role.  Kasja talks about her process of selecting the artists she wants to represent, and gives details of her ‘emotional checklist.' Kasja shares her top tips for artists that are looking for representation, including, surprisingly, asking yourself if you really need an agent.  BEST MOMENTS“The artist can only see the product, the agent helps them see the opportunities.”“Having an agent isn't a golden ticket to making money, you still have to be an ambassador of your own work.”“The most important question for an artist to ask themselves is ‘What do I want?', the answer to this question will help guide all your decisions.” ABOUT THE PODCASTA serious and fun podcast for female creatives hosted by Ping, Dorien and Sarah, three happy artists from Amsterdam.

In this week's episode Dorien is back and the ladies are reminiscing about their lives, hopes and dreams two years ago. But have they achieved what they set out to do or have their plans changed in unexpected ways and what affects has this had on their careers and their artistic journeys?  KEY TAKEAWAYS Ping talks about how, when she recovered from breast cancer two years ago, she decided to make a positive change in her life and follow her dreams, not knowing where she would end up or if it would even work, but she knew she was determined.  The ladies talk about motivation and discipline and the importance of keeping going on a project even if the fun aspect of it disappears.   Sarah talks about how over the last two years, she moved from being dedicated to only creating children's books to expanding into all kinds of illustration and the lessons she has learned from having a more open mind about her career.   Unlike the other two ladies, Dorien admits to not making firm plans and her preference to ‘go with the flow' and expands how this affects her creative flow.  BEST MOMENTS“One of the most important things to have is persistence. Don't take no for an answer.”“Intrinsic motivation brings you discipline.”“Regardless of how much or little we plan, things always seem to come together for the best.” ABOUT THE PODCASTA serious and fun podcast for female creatives hosted by Ping, Dorien and Sarah, three happy artists from Amsterdam.

This week Ping is at a book fair. But don't worry, Doreen is back at the mic and the ladies are looking inward. They discuss the topic of believing in yourself and how every artist should find their way to doing it as it will, ultimately, help you grow and produce your best work. KEY TAKEAWAYS What is the emotional value of art? The ladies discuss this idea and how they think it shapes the way artists approach their work. They talk about how, as children, we only see emotional value in the art we make for others, but at what stage do we lose this idea and can we get it back? If you don't put your work out there, you'll never know what reaction it will get. Are some artists reluctant to share their work for fear of rejection or because they think no one will be interested in it? Doreen and Sarah talk about why you should always try as you'll never know if you don't.  What is the difference between your inner critic and being critical of our work? How do you separate the two and how, once you understand this separation, can it lead to you flourishing as an artist? The ladies discuss the importance of making something from your heart. Don't be tempted to follow trends or fashion as this will only lead you to compare yourself to others. It takes courage to be true to yourself, but the rewards far outweigh those that you may receive from being ‘popular'. BEST MOMENTS “Every artist should believe that what they are making will be interesting to someone, otherwise why are you making it?” “Just do it, and have fun doing it. That's the most important thing.” “You never know what might resonate with someone.” ABOUT THE PODCAST A serious and fun podcast for female creatives hosted by Ping, Dorien and Sarah, three happy artists from Amsterdam.

This week Ping and Sarah are joined by children's illustrator Emmi Smid. In an in depth interview Emmi shares her journey to becoming a children illustrator and storyteller, some of her success and failures along the way, her working practices and why it is important, to her, to share her stories with the world.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The guest, Emmi, discusses her journey as an artist. How she started working in fine art, then made the realisation that most of her paintings were narrative based. One day, looking at her bookshelf, she had a moment of inspiration, realising that she had always been fascinated with childrens books, from there, she took the leap to being a children's illustrator. The ladies discuss the difference between art being a hobby and a career. Do you lose the hobby aspect of it once you start to be paid for your work? Do friends and family take you seriously if you choose a career as an artist? And, what do the ladies define success as? What are your work habits and how do they compare to others? The ladies share their different approaches on everything from sketch books to full projects and discuss the need for each individual to understand what their unique process is and why they shouldn't compare it to others.  Emmi talks about the importance of working on personal projects. She talks about how it helps her figure out what is important to her and how, through sharing her stories and perspective on the world, she may be able to help others see things from a different viewpoint or realise that they're not alone.  BEST MOMENTS “You have to believe in yourself and follow the path that you are on.” “Society has conditioned us to think we are only successful if we make money. But this is not true, if you are doing the thing you love, then you are already successful.” “You've got to accept who you are, but at the same time, continue to push yourself.” EPISODE RESOURCES Instagram: @studio.emmi.smid ABOUT THE PODCAST A serious and fun podcast for female creatives hosted by Ping, Dorien and Sarah, three happy artists from Amsterdam.

This week, Dorien is busy on a big project, but Sarah and Ping step up and talk you through planning studio time. The ladies pack their years of experience into a fun filled thirty minute episode and share some valuable tips and tricks that guarantee to make you more productive in your studio. KEY TAKEAWAYS The ladies discuss how spending time in your studio to make it tidy and organised is as important as the time you spend in there to work. But remember to personalise your space, decorate not just your walls, but your pen holders, workbooks and bookshelves…remember you are an artist! Remember that lighting your studio is important. You have to find a balance between a lighting set up that makes you comfortable and creates a productive working environment, but also one that will show a true representation of the colours you are working with. If you want to improve your productivity, why not make a diary of what you do in your studio over a week. After that week is over, review your diary and find out what you actually spent your time on. You might be surprised! The ladies discuss the idea of splitting your studio time into sections. Such as, Play Time' - Where you create art for fun, or ‘Business Time' - where you concentrate on generating revenue, or ‘Contribute TIme' - where you try to help your colleagues, your community, a charity or some other third party.   BEST MOMENTS“My studio is a stage and I am a performer, so I need my stage to be organised.”“Sometimes allow yourself to be unproductive, to daydream, to create distance from your work.”“Every morning, prioritise your tasks from most urgent to least urgent.”“Know your “Why”, and then everything you do will be easier.” ABOUT THE PODCASTA serious and fun podcast for female creatives hosted by Ping, Dorien and Sarah, three happy artists from Amsterdam.

This week, Dorien is missing, but don't worry Sarah and Ping are here and they're going to get personal. This week, the ladies are going to give you an insight into their lives but not the exciting projects they are currently working on, instead they are going to talk about their personal lives and the effect it has on their work. KEY TAKEAWAYS The ladies agree that hard work is the key to success. But advise you to remember to take time off for yourself. If all you are doing is working, then you won't be able to look at your problems objectively and have any perspective.  The ladies discuss the benefits of a work life balance and how a healthy and happy home life will benefit your mental health and ultimately benefit your work  Sarah is currently not working on a big project. Whilst some people perceive that as her going through a bad patch, she is grateful for the break. It is allowing her to analyse her work and improve the areas she is not happy with. Ping discusses the need she has for her work to have meaning. She is not content with just making a living from selling her work. What she really wants is for customers to buy her works because it resonates with them. The ladies discuss bad moments in their lives and how they would tell themselves “Once we are better, we are going to do so many things.” They agree that it is important to remember that feeling once they return to the normality of daily life   BEST MOMENTS “Most importantly - enjoy this life you have chosen” “Take time to learn to grow.” “Find time for yourself, even if it's just 5 minutes a day. Do something that makes you happy for those 5 minutes.” “Never forget why you started the journey you are on. If you get stuck, lose sight of your goals or lose heart, then ask yourself, ‘Why did I start?'.” ABOUT THE PODCAST A serious and fun podcast for female creatives hosted by Ping, Dorien and Sarah, three happy artists from Amsterdam.

Sarah and Ping are joined by Ema Malyauka, a self taught children's book illustrator, whose Belarusian surname translates to ‘drawing'. Ema discusses her creative process, sharing invaluable advice for young artists, and her journey as a self taught artist from knowing nothing about the industry to becoming a successful illustrator KEY TAKEAWAYS Ema struggled at school with regular lessons, but attended art classes outside of school and constantly received high praise from her teachers. Despite this, Ema decided against attending university to study art and began a journey of self teaching, learning from books, short courses, friends and other artists. Ema is a lifelong fan of childrens books. From an early age she collected childrens books and images from the internet. When she finally decided to become an illustrator she did not hesitate to specialise in childrens illustrations. Ema's first professional experience was working with a friend who self published their own books. She recommends this to all young artists as it was an opportunity to learn her trade and make mistakes without the pressure that comes with working with an established publishing house. When she started her career she didn't know anything about the professional world of illustration including publishers and portfolio's, but she found advice and guidance from fellow artists online that helped her career flourish. To generate her own stories, Ema asks herself a question central to her idea and then makes a library of images and thoughts as well as researching other fairy tales through books and podcasts to ‘feed her brain.' Ema also recommends creating a nice environment to work in. She finds that she has more inspiration if she covers her sketchbooks in colourful fabric instead of leaving them with their natural covers.   Some of Ema's favourite illustrators include Adolf Born, Jiří Šalamoun, André François and Varya Yakovleva BEST MOMENTS “It's a great time for the illustration world because of the increase of mobile phones and tablets, everything has to be more visually pleasing.” “I always recommend young artists to try a project with a friend. You'll be more relaxed, not afraid to make mistakes and get an understanding of the process.” “Find people in the illustration world online. They are lovely people and will be happy to help and advise you.” “Don't compare your journey to others. Your journey is what makes you unique as an illustrator.”   EPISODE RESOURCES Ema Malyauka www.instagram.com/ema_malyauka Adolf Born https://historiek.net/de-wondere-wereld-van-adolf-born/146693/ Jiří Šalamoun https://www.pametnaroda.cz/en/salamoun-jiri-1935 André François https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/André_François Varya Yakovleva https://www.instagram.com/varya__yakovleva/following/?hl=en     ABOUT THE PODCAST A serious and fun podcast for female creatives hosted by Ping, Dorien and Sarah, three happy artists from Amsterdam.  This podcast will inspire you to make a living out of your art.

Devon Holzwarth is an award-winning picture book illustrator, author, and painter. She joins Ping and Dorien to tell you all about her life as a Children's Book Illustrator as well as her creative journey that led her there. Listen in for some great advice from someone who has broken into the illustration industry for themselves.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Devon went to Rhode Island School of Design art school where she majored in textile design. She majored in this because she thought that it had better job prospects than if she had chosen painting. She graduated in 2000 with a BFA. Devon moved her life to Germany when her husband was offered a job there. It was only supposed to be for a few years but she now calls the place home. The great thing about being an artist was that she could work from anywhere and the new environment could lead to new interesting opportunities. The moment that will take you to the next step can be scary and uncomfortable, which makes it hard for many of us to take it. Devon's moment of taking that step was more of a push, so she didn't have the opportunity to become wrapped up in whether or not she was comfortable or not. One piece of advice that has stuck with Devon is when she was told ‘you need to put ten years into something before it begins to become successful'. This freaked her out because she found something she enjoyed and didn't want to wait ten years for it to come to fruition. This lit a fire in her and gave her focus to succeed faster than the ten years she'd been told. Devon decided she should make her own dummy book of her story about a boy and a bee which she took with her to Bologna. She showed it to the people she met there and one of the pieces of advice she got was to separate the one story into two. So she had one story about a bee and one about a boy. That advice she received really paid off after receiving a publishing offer.     BEST MOMENTS   ‘I can do the same thing from somewhere else and be somewhere more interesting' ‘Sometimes it's a matter of knowing who you are, it's difficult to unravel in some ways' ‘You just need one more little push then you recognise that your path' ‘If an art director tell you to send them something, you better send them something'   EPISODE RESOURCES   Devon Holzwarth Devon Holzwarth (@devonholzwarth) • Instagram photos and videos devonholzwarth@gmail.com   ABOUT THE GUEST   Devon Holzwarth is a picture book illustrator, author, and painter. She is a recipient of the Schneider Family Book Award and a notable Sydney Taylor Award, as well as a Society of Illustrators gold medal winner. Born in Washington D.C., Devon grew up in Panama surrounded by nature and her dad's art supplies. She has lived in many other places, including Germany, where she currently resides with her husband, two kids, a galgo dog from Spain and a little dachshund from Romania. Devon earned her BFA in 2000 from the Rhode Island School of Design focusing on screen printing and painting. She has written & illustrated “Found You” and “Sophie's Stories” and has illustrated a number of picture books including “Tia Fortuna's New Home”, “LISTEN, How Evelyn Glennie, a Deaf Girl, Changed Percussion” and “Everywhere With You”.   ABOUT THE PODCAST   A serious and fun podcast for female creatives hosted by Ping, Dorien and Sarah, three happy artists from Amsterdam.  This podcast will inspire you to make a living out of your art.

This episode is the first in a series of shows that we recorded but for various reasons, they didn't get released in a timely fashion. This first episode is one that we recorded at Summer Swelter Beerfest last summer. We sat down with Dorien from Whims Brewing which at this point was recently opened. They took over the the space formerly occupied by Atco Brewing. Visit them when you get the chance because their beer selection was excellent

Sarah is back on Thriving Women Artists and this week she's brought the topic of what to do when you're feeling jealous of other artists. Listen in as Ping, Dorien, and Sarah talk about how they feel jealous, what they do about it, and how jealousy isn't always a negative thing. Find out what positives can you take from this feeling to drive your own work and achieve your goals.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Jealousy is not only for artists starting out, no matter what stage you are on your journey you will look at someone else's work or where they are and feel envious. Feeling jealous of other people's work is not necessarily a negative feeling, we can use it to drive our own work, find passion, and grow as an artist. The negative side of jealousy is being overwhelmed, we've all spent far too long scrolling through Instagram and feeling like you'll never have what other people have. You should take action and change your mindset from scarcity to abundance. We all feel jealous of each other, you don't get that ‘wow' feeling at your own work. We aren't surprised by our own work but the choices other people make are a surprise to us and it makes us feel jealous. Embrace your own uniqueness and your own skill set. Be proud of yourself and use that as a base to build off, don't be jealous of others but be inspired instead. Confidence is the difference between being envious and inspired by others.     BEST MOMENTS   ‘I was depressed because I thought I couldn't do it, I didn't pick up my pencil' ‘If you want something you can grow and learn and practice' ‘It's not going to change by itself' ‘When I know what I'm capable of then I don't worry about what someone else is doing'   ABOUT THE PODCAST   A serious and fun podcast for female creatives hosted by Ping, Dorien and Sarah, three happy artists from Amsterdam.  This podcast will inspire you to make a living out of your art.

Today is a special episode because we have a guest on Thriving Women Artists, Jennifer M. Potter joins Ping and Dorien to talk about her career as a children's book illustrator. Find out about how Jennifer left her corporate job to follow her creative and artistic passions. Don't worry, Sarah will be back soon, she's currently recording some courses for Domestika.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Jennifer was a graphic designer and art director in the corporate world before she had the idea that she wanted to make a webcomic. She worked on it for a year and while she was doing this she saw and signed up for a course in children's book illustration. Jennifer made a lot of really good friends through the Make Art That Sells community and that really helped her when she was struggling to make the adjustment to being her own boss as a freelancer and not having a communal environment. There's a tip Jennifer has for getting out of her comfort zone. She is the type of person who over-prepares for everything, so by over preparing for the things that are outside her comfort zone it makes her feel more prepared for the challenge. There is a downside to over preparing, that is procrastination. We prepare so much we don't ever get around to doing the thing. Ping has a solution for this, that when you're 70% prepared you just go for it. The right feedback is priceless, but they are just people's opinions so you need to know who is the right person with the right advice for you to listen to as an individual.    BEST MOMENTS ‘I learned how much I took for granted moving from working with people to working alone' ‘The only way to make something comfortable is to do it' ‘70% is good enough, you don't need that extra 30% just to be perfect'   USEFUL RESOURCES 1) Miroslav Šašek https://thamesandhudson.com/miroslav-sasek-9780500023341 2) Edward Gorey https://www.britannica.com/biography/Edward-Gorey 3) Barbara Westman https://www.amazon.com/Beacon-Hill-Christmas-Barbara-Westman/dp/0395247268 4) Jennifer M.

  Dorien Nuñez is a New York City native, amateur astronomer, and former professional Sax player. He has celebrated 50 years on Wall Street, is a first generation college grad from Harvard, and is a proud alum of the New York City public school system. He is a co-founder of a group of Harvard Black and Latinx alumni serving on corporate boards, and is a Senior Fellow at Intentional Endowments Network.   Dorien Nuñez's journey to understanding the racial wealth disparity began in his childhood, growing up in Brooklyn but attending an elite mostly White high school in the suburbs. He was inspired by the achievements of people like Benjamin Banneker, and had mentors like his schoolteachers, who helped him develop his talents. At a young age, he began to understand the importance of money and developed entrepreneurial skills. With the help of his mentors, he was accepted to prestigious boarding schools and eventually Harvard Business School. His experiences gave him the insight to understand the systemic issues in capitalism and banking, leading him to dedicate his career to helping others to invest and create wealth. With his commitment to mentorship, Dorien Nuñez is helping to close the racial wealth gap and empower people to create and achieve unlimited success. 1. Exploring the economic disparities between white and black people in the US. 2. Investigating the role of mentors and how they help individuals succeed. 3. Decoding the secrets to becoming a millionaire by investing wisely.     Chapter Summaries:   [00:03:21] The wealth disparity between black and white people. What does it mean when we talk about generational wealth?   [00:08:47] Dorien was born in Harlem and then moved to Brooklyn. Got a scholarship to go to an elite white boarding school, St. Paul's School in Concord, New Hampshire. His first mentors were his school teachers. Ended up going to Harvard Business School.   [00:14:55] When he was nine years old, he saw an article about the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His mentors saw something in him and nurtured it. This leads him to try to find and mentor high school students and college students.   [00:17:32] As a child, he was entrepreneurial. "The hardest job to get on Wall Street is your first job." His advice to anybody out there is to learn about money. You can't get rich if you don't know about money.   [00:23:53] Credit scores are important and people can raise their credit scores. All kinds of free services will help you repair your credit. More and more entities are providing capital to people with lower credit scores. Things are getting easier and better, but you still have to take responsibility and get your budget in order.   [00:31:10] "Well, when I went away to boarding school, it was practically all mostly white boarding school. I was there to get a good education, to learn what I could, and to take it back home. That was my mission. At age 14, I knew what I was going to do."   [00:31:40] "The House of Representatives kept Adam Clayton Powell from taking his seat. So if they wanted to, they could keep George Santos in his seat. And in California, they recalled Governor Davis." "We'll send any listeners to this show, who calls in or sends Simma an email a free report on "Ten Things You Could Do To Save Money and Invest and Three Things You Can Teach Your Children."   [00:34:11] The term Redlining comes from when the banks or insurance company would draw a red line around the neighborhood. They would not loan money to people in Black neighborhoods or sell houses to Black people to move into white neighborhoods. Redlining is not as obvious as it has been in the past, but it still exists and it's an impediment. The only solution is to sue them when this happens. You got to make them pay economically.   [00:36:40] Dorien's experience with race and racism. How they were treated differently and that being black is not that easy.   [00:44:00] There are a lot of Black networks that people need to know about and be part of. If you're not part of those natural networks, then you have to find your own and build your own. That's part of wealth building   [00:49:30] What is in Dorien Nuñez's favorite playlist, films, movies, shows, and books?   Guest Bio Dorien Nuñez, Co-Founder and Director of Research, OMNIResearch Group.

In 2018 Dorien Cramer cycled solo from Singapore back to her home in the Netherlands. She had no plan of where to go and how long she would be on the road. Only that she wanted to explore and see how and where other people live.With a tent and a stove in her panniers, she had everything she needed to go wherever she wanted. In China she reached the highest point of her trip on 4,807 meters altitude. There were also lows. In Malaysia she witnessed the logging of rainforest and in Kazakhstan she ate horse brain at a wedding reception. Sometimes her experiences were so difficult she thought of giving up and taking a train back home. However, she managed to continue and after 15 months and 20,477km, she reached the doorstep of her parents house on Christmas Eve. Learn more about Dorien: Instagram: @dfietstdorienfietst@wordpress.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Today on the podcast Sarah, Ping, and Dorien will be giving you tips for creating during stressful times. This could be a generally stressful time in life which we all have or it could be when you're facing a deadline with your work and have to be creative under that time pressure.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   We all end up leaving work until the last minute to do it, especially when we are students. We have so much time to be creative but end up having to cram it into a short amount of time. So the first piece of advice is to give yourself time, don't leave it until the pressure is there to finish it. When you are feeling stressed by a large workload, break things down into smaller, more manageable tasks. This way, when you tick off one of these smaller tasks you have that good feeling of achievement to outweigh the stress. Be kind to yourself. One of the ways Ping has learned to be kind to herself is to allow herself to sleep enough. It's okay to take a break and do something that you enjoy or relaxes you. Prioritise your to do list where the most important things get done first. This way the most stressful tasks are out of the way first. A Gantt chart is a project management tool that illustrates work completed over a period of time in relation to the time planned for the work. A Gantt chart can include the start and end dates of tasks, milestones, dependencies between tasks, assignees, and more.     BEST MOMENTS   ‘I know how long it takes me to do the things I've done before' ‘No multitasking, I don't want to be distracted' ‘Turn your ‘to do' list into a ‘tadaah' list' ‘When I'm stressed I ask for collaboration'   USEFUL RESOURCES   Use Gantt charts for project management   ABOUT THE PODCAST   A serious and fun podcast for female creatives hosted by Ping, Dorien and Sarah, three happy artists from Amsterdam.  This podcast will inspire you to make a living out of your art.

As the artist you see your work more than anyone else and because you see it so often, it can sometimes feel like it's becoming stale. So how do we make sure that our art remains fresh and we stay engaged and motivated to work on it? If you're asking that question then you're in luck because Ping, Sarah, and Dorien have 7 tips and pieces of advice you can use to keep your work fresh.  KEY TAKEAWAYS If Sarah is feeling like her art has become boring, it's usually because she feels her life has become a bit boring. So when she feels like this she likes to go out and try or see something new.  As Ping paints flowers, she can feel like she's painted every flower there is. So when she feels like her work needs to be freshened up she creates a whole new colour palette for a flower or paints it in a different environment that you wouldn't find it in. She creates her own story around why it is different.  Step back every now and then and stop putting all of your focus on creating. You can take time away from art to reinvent yourself or learn some new skills that you can then take back into your art.  Create work that isn't for social media, grab a new sketchbook and call it your ugly sketchbook. You don't need to worry about what goes into it, it's where creativity and magic happens.  Don't be afraid to fail, challenge yourself to keep growing. Keep learning, even if you think it's not related to what you do, you can always take something from it and put it into your work.  Surround yourself with supportive people and ask questions.  BEST MOMENTS ‘My work is a mirror of my life and how I feel' ‘I find an unexpected angle or perspective'  ‘Sometimes you go into autopilot' ‘Your learning is not linear, there are ups and downs' ABOUT THE PODCAST  A serious and fun podcast for female creatives hosted by Ping, Dorien and Sarah, three happy artists from Amsterdam.  This podcast will inspire you to make a living out of your art.

Today it's just Ping and Sarah, but don't worry because Dorien will be back soon. The topic of this podcast is growing your art business beyond being an Instagram artist. Find out the different types of Instagram artists, the pros and cons of posting your art on social media, how you should react to what people say about your art, and advice for growing your business in different ways.   KEY TAKEAWAYS What is an Instagram artist? At first, it seems like it's someone who only uses Instagram as a marketing tool, but when you think more about it, you can be an artist who only posts their artwork on social media. We all want to spend less time looking at screens, especially our phones. So it's important to have a balance between using Instagram for work and just scrolling endlessly. Instagram is a great way to get over that fear of sharing your art. You don't need to go to a show or anything like that, just a few clicks and other people can see what you've made. Not everyone's opinion counts. Your opinion on your art matters most of all. Do it for yourself and not for the likes and comments. You have control of your art and not what other people think you should be doing. When you go out to art shows you get to know like-minded people who you can learn from and use that energy to grow and develop your art. Real life feedback from real people is always going to be more valuable than likes.    BEST MOMENTS ‘I only wanted to make nice things for Instagram, I was too scared to experiment' ‘Instagram helped me create a drawing habit' ‘It's not that people don't like it, it's the algorithm' ‘How many likes will make your day or break your day?'   ABOUT THE PODCAST A serious and fun podcast for female creatives hosted by Ping, Dorien and Sarah, three happy artists from Amsterdam.  This podcast will inspire you to make a living out of your art.

Lets face it, there's no part of life that doesn't come with the chance of failure, it's something we all experience. It's not the failing that matters, it's how we deal with it that is important. This week on Thriving Women Artists, Ping, Sarah, and Dorien are going to be discussing where they have failed and how they dealt with it to gain a positive outcome.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Failure is a scary thing when it happens, but most of the time you learn a lot from it and it can be beneficial if you choose to take something from it.  A failure can actually be a success if it makes you learn something that will help you grow as an individual. The road to success isn't a linear process, it has ups and downs.  If you're going to fail, it's good to fail early. Don't let failing at a new thing put you off, we're not born with all the skills we need, we have to learn them along the way.  Even if the worst thing happens in part of your artistic journey, the world will not end, there is always going to be another day to try again and do better.  Don't be afraid to talk about your failures with your close circle of friends. You can always learn things from each other and your experience might mean that you can stop someone else from failing.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Failure is like a wake up call or a stop sign' ‘All of your bad drawings are part of your journey'  ‘Trial and error is the best way to learn' ABOUT THE PODCAST  A serious and fun podcast for female creatives hosted by Ping, Dorien and Sarah, three happy artists from Amsterdam.  This podcast will inspire you to make a living out of your art.

Welcome to Negronis with Nord. Today's episode features two guests, Sr. Account Executive, Dorien Russell, and Sr. Creative Strategist, Sophie Wood. The focus today is on the best and worst of 2022 within influencer marketing.

We all want to have the best assignments and commissions that are right for you. But how do we work out what commissions will be like before we say yes? Today on Thriving Women Artists, Sarah, Ping and Dorien will be talking you through how they choose who to work with and which projects appeal to them and why.   KEY TAKEAWAYS For Sarah the first thing she thinks about is money. Does the assignment pay well? Are you being attached to a big to a big company who will help get your name out there? Is there good exposure? For Dorien, money or the exposure isn' the first thing she thinks about. She asks if it fits within her vision of the world and if the topic connects with her. For Ping she has a checklist with a scale where she rates the pay, the reputation of the company, whether she will get to be experimental with her art, etc. And if the number that scale adds up to is below a certain level, then it's not a commission she would find worthwhile. It's a scientific and emotional way of looking at it. If you only ever say yes to the commissions from charities that will make you feel good, you won't actually be making very much money or sometimes no money at all. It's not selfish to put yourself first as an artist. The best assignment isn't what other people think, it's all about what you think is best for you at that time. If you evaluate afterwards you will find out if that type of assignment was right for you and if you should do it again at that stage of your career.   BEST MOMENTS ‘I think I worry about what other people are going to say about my decision' ‘Our best assignments change depending on what stage we are at, at that moment' ‘Timing is so important, if I had this assignment too early I couldn't have handled it' ‘Struggle builds up our resistance'   ABOUT THE PODCAST A serious and fun podcast for female creatives hosted by Ping, Dorien and Sarah, three happy artists from Amsterdam.  This podcast will inspire you to make a living out of your art.
