Podcast appearances and mentions of jan mccarthy

Host: Alyson B. Stanfield For so long, I asked artists Why they make art. Some artists have a Why. For other artists, being asked why they make art is unfruitful—even debilitating. They feel unworthy if they can't come up with a good Why. A better strategy is to focus on the people who will be viewing, talking about, and living with your art. How does your art make people feel? Bernadette Jiwa says, "People don't buy why you do something. They buy how it makes them feel." If you think about it, this, ironically, leads to your Why: Connection.  

Host: Alyson B. Stanfield Your list is something unique to you and your career. No one has this same list. No one makes art like you do; no one knows the same people as you do; and no one has the exact vision that you have. Nobody! Your list is almost worthless to anyone else, yet it's invaluable to you. It is the primary tool you use to share your art with the world. It's your #1 marketing asset, but worthless if you're not using it. The definition of a mailing list isn't as clear cut as it sounds. I have a philosophy around this 2-word phrase that we frequently take for granted: You don't have a single list. You have multiple lists. I use the term mailing list as an umbrella term, but, in truth, you have three lists that I define as follows: 1️⃣ Your email list 2️⃣ Your VIP list 3️⃣ Your online followers In this episode, I describe the difference among them and why you need to remember all of them when you're thinking about your mailing list.

My guest for this episode of The Art Biz is Kamal X. Kamal recently released his book, Black Astronaut, which is a collection of photographs he started after the murder of George Floyd. It was, as you recall, the height of Covid and like many, Kamal was hesitant to travel and be in crowds. But, as he said, he knew he had to risk it all because the moment was bigger than him. In our conversation, you'll hear about how and why Kamal learned photography and how he approaches his subjects on the street. What I enjoyed most about talking with Kamal is his message. Through photography, he learns about himself, and he shares his positivity through his words and deeds. He says, “Remember you are the light and you can create and visualize something bigger for yourself.” And he encourages you to be true to yourself and avoid making art for the algorithms.

Carol MacConnell has built a strong business foundation over her long art career. I was particularly interested in talking with her about how she works with interior designers. You'll hear us discuss: Carol's income streams, 30% of which comes from working with interior designers and the vast majority through open studio events. How she, as an artist who is legally deaf, navigates conversations. How she segments and uses her list of 2,000 interior designers and 2,000 other subscribers. What the working relationship with interior designers is like. You'll also hear me plead my case for contracts that spell out the details of a relationship with anyone who sells your art. My favorite thing about this conversation is that Carol doesn't get anxious about missing out on [whatever]. She is focused on getting the work done and being authentic about what is going on rather than fussing over the algorithms and other mind traps.

In this episode, I talk with Jan McCarthy, who wants you to know that there is plenty of life to live after 50. And even 60. She describes herself as a maker because, in her eyes, that term encompasses more than the word “artist.” Jan has started businesses, founded organizations, designed interiors, organized fundraisers, dinner parties, retreats, and workshops, and made plenty of products and art. Jan and I discuss: The creativity workshops she has organized for corporations. How she has brought together monthly mastermind meetings of women, and why a casual dinner party was the best format for them. Why her project Art for the Heart is important for her as someone who has lived with heart disease for more than 25 years. How she makes connections with interior designers, what the best social media platforms are for designers, and some of their concerns. How she gets such great photos of herself. While I'm in the midst of discussing multiple income sources on this podcast and on YouTube, I don't think Jan thinks of her efforts in terms of income sources. She just follows the themes that interest her. If they turn into income sources, well, that's fine, too.

About Jan:Jan McCarthy is an Artist, Creative Developer, Podcast Host, Author, and Small Business Coach.In art and business, Jan believes in blending the left and right brain to achieve the most comprehensive expression, and everything she creates from paintings, sketches, books, brushes, towers, workshops or events are inspired by real-life visuals.She's constantly deciphering and incorporating the abstract part of life in her work with the intent to evoke emotion, bring together community, unleash the imagination, stir thoughtful reflection and give way to images of something meaningful, often hidden in between the layers of mixed media, life, and other materials.Art and business go hand in hand so when Jan puts on workshops, classes, retreats, and events she often pairs the two together because she loves helping entrepreneurs, professionals, artists and other creatives explore their hidden talents and curiosity through meaningful and fun interactive artistic sessions.Jan was born into an entrepreneurial creative family and grew up to marry an entrepreneur. They had two daughters who are now grown and are also entrepreneurs. This influences Jan's art as does her obsession with traveling and adventure, creating community, hanging out with family and friends in thoughtful and interesting conversation over great food and drink in a fabulous location. She's lucky to embrace a dual lifestyle, splitting her time between an urban loft in downtown Los Angeles and her ranch in Boulder, CO and those diverse and abstract lifestyles filter their way into her art.Website: janmccarthy.comInstagram: @janmccarthy
