Listen "150: A rising beauty empire: The real accord of what a beauty journey can look like "
Episode Synopsis
Are you an artist or entrepreneur in the makeup industry? Do you struggle to feel like you’re really thriving?
As creatives in a giant industry, it’s easy to feel like we’re small fish in a big pond - many people struggle to make enough money and to ask for what they’re worth.
Here’s the thing: being an artist inherently means being a leader.
Being at the leading edge of culture, breaking the rules and experimenting means we have agency, value and power.
It’s time to replace the story of the starving artist with the story of the thriving artist.
Some of the highlights of episode 1 of the new season include:
Why Angelique left a secure job and created an empire
Why shifting our mindsets around creative careers and leadership is crucial
Artists and the makeup industry; shifting the power
Why planning an exit strategy is so important
The magic of community and empowerment in the Clutch Club
"If you are a makeup artist, you know that it’s not just about the makeup; as a matter of fact it’s probably only about 20% about the makeup. That whole other 80% is that leadership stuff. You HAVE to think about yourself that way - you’re not going to jump over those hurdles if you don't.”
