I loved chatting with visual artist, Caitlin Winner about the modern realities of being an artist. We covered selling on instagram vs with galleries, why 10x is easier than 2x, learning from faliures and the type A approach to quitting! Here are some of Caitlin’s beautiful paintings!
This week is a special Q&A episode. I answer your questions and worries about social media, ‘content’, galleries, failures, doom scrolling and the freedom of creative discipline. I hope this fires you up for 2026! Make stuff. Put it out. You’re capable of more than you think.

Each week he goes to work with someone new, films it and the resulting videos have had millions of views. We talk about the people he’s met, content creation and how long it took to finally ‘make it’.
