If you've ever told someone you're an artist and they follow up with something akin to "What have I seen you in?", this episode is for you. So many times we internalize the archetype of the struggling artist to mean there's some sort of internal self-defeat causing us to struggle, often ignoring the reality of the System of which we are a part. In this episode, we chat about the minimum wage, mental health, and how to reframe the conversation away from the trappings of Capitalist thinking so that we can do the thing we came here to do: make art.
