In the first half of the year, 2020 has been a year like no other and with ongoing Covid 19 panic and worldwide riots, it looks to be at least as turbulent in the second half.

This is Champ / Jan III, my third interview with Champ Parinya. Interview I and interview II are the two most popular interviews of the Business Artist podcasts and Champ’s wisdom is for many people a blessing as well as a guidance in these turbulent times, that can be exciting and thrilling but also depressing and saddening, depending on how they are perceived. I want to help as many people as possible to be awake during these historic times and enjoy experiencing the greatest story ever told – live. Therefore, people need hope and need to overcome fear with love and awareness. Listing to Champ is a great path to get there and I am really glad to continue this great conversation with him.
Champ Parinya is an artist and Dzogchen Yogi as well as the creator of the Great Awakening Map. He is attempting to map a higher dimensional state of consciousness known as Hyperspace — a realm existing outside of time that is imbued with opulent, fractal landscapes of intelligent, kaleidoscopic light. His research into transcendental meditations and entheogens has revealed that psychoactive lenses can tune consciousness into receiving higher dimensional frequencies—journeying to see a glimpse into the deepest, darkest levels of existence where singularity and its allure are encountered. His art has been guest curated by MOCA as well as LACMA in Los Angeles.
Some of the questions I ask Champ Parinya:
- At which stage of The Great Awakening are we right now? (03:50)
- Will there be a time when the truth will be told to everyone? (07:59)
- How are you experiencing what is going on in the 3D world right now? (25:59)
- What are you currently focusing on in your daily life? (32:11)
- How can we imagine the daily practice of a Dzogchen Yogi? (37:06)
- What exactly is the difference between non-duality and duality? (1:00:00)
- What stays if we take away everything that is not permanent? (1:12:08)
- How does manifestation work together with letting go of wanting anything? (1:19:33)

The current lockdown in most parts of the world has had a huge impact on artists. Whether, they are musicians, painters or poets, the lockdown abruptly stopped concerts, workshops, art galleries, museums, etc. and many artists experienced a sudden stop of their income. Fortunately, creativity is the core of art and therefore artists currently create new ways to express their art, new platforms to present their art and new channels to earn money with their art.
In this interview, I talk with Maras a rapper and poetry slam artist from France, who is also a coach for eloquence and poetry. Maras is the 2018 Red Bull Battle Rap Champion, the 2016 Vice-World Champion in Freestyle Rap and the 2014 National French Champion in Poetry Slam. He has performed on poetry slams as well as rap concerts and contests on all continents in French, English, German, Italian and even Japanese. Maras talks about his struggles, opportunities and visions in the current situation and embraces the positive aspects of the lockdown, while being aware of the dangers and risks.
Some of the questions I ask Maras:
What are the positive impacts of the lockdown for you? (02:05) I personally enjoyed the lockdown as a time for inner work and retrospective. But now, I want to go out and fully live again. How is that for you? (03:04) How did you deal with the abrupt change in live and the sudden stop of earning money? (05:11) How do you think, the lockdown will change the way art is expressed, is consumed and is experienced?

(10:37) Will digital concerts stay as an additional channel when real concerts are happening again? (14:40) On which digital models are you working to drive your business during the lockdown? (23:15) As with Global corporations vs. small to medium businesses, will big Global artists win over smaller Local artists, the longer the lockdown takes? (31:10) What is the current state of mind in the artistic community? (33:17) Will you keep on building these new digital channels for your art when you can do real-life workshops and concerts again?

We are living in an unbelievable time. I am positive, that books and movies will be made about this period of time. History is not only written it is also re-written. The is in line with more and more people moving from 3D to 4D to 5D consciousness. Whereas 3D consciousness is the material world where you experience yourself as a victim of external dynamics and circumstances, in 4D you create the world you live in with your frequency and your awareness. 5D goes even further. Here you leave the world of the ego and you move even outside of time, space, body and identity. in 5D, you let your true self shine through.
In this interview, I dive with Martin Pleissner, the Founder of the 5D Movement and Whypreneur Ltd. in the 5D universe. Martin studied aerospace engineering and has worked in the aerospace industry for many years, before he started his own business in 2014. From 2016 to 2019, he built up Frei Leben, a community of Cryptocurrency enthusiasts, that became very successful. He wants to build up a 5D movement of people who want to raise their awareness and want to help others to do the same.
Some of the questions I ask Martin:
What exactly does 5D consciousness mean? (01:18) How is the Schumann Resonance exactly measure? (12:46) Why does the frequency of people increases when they have higher consciousness?(14:34) Which steps do you recommend to reach 5D consciousness? (18:11) How do you clean your spiritual body? (22:03) How do you clean your emotions? (24:50) How do you proceed when you have cleaned your emotional, physical, spiritual and mental body? (26:58) Do you think that the whole population will move to 5D consciousness? (32:01) How will the increase of human consciousness change the 3D world? (35:38) Do you already see signs of a utopian world with free energy appearing? (40:56) As an aerospace engineer, do you understand what you need to learn to grasp the concepts of Nikola Tesla and free energy? (46:46) How did you find out that Nikola Tesla made these great inventions that were never disclosed to the public? (50:11) How do you connect to the Akasha field? (53:11) What is so special about Dolphins? (55:29)Join The Business Artist Club here: https://t.me/businessartist

True transformation is painful as it means something needs to die in order for something new to develop. Therefore, we often need extreme situations and challenges in order to grow and raise our awareness. The current lockdown in many parts of the world can mean hardship in terms of uncertainty, fear and unhappiness but also is an opportunity to focus on inner work in order to shift our consciousness. In fact, this is currently happening Globally and collectively. We are experiencing the great awakening. In this episode, I talk with Natalia Geiger, who has a very deep understanding of human consciousness. It was very interesting to talk to her as she is exactly describing spiritually what I see happening in our world politically and socially.
Natalia is a powerful, vibrating and compassionate woman and works as a transpersonal coach for life and leadership, helping individuals and organizations to change and evolve. She wants to contribute to the creation of a more conscious, compassionate and sustainable world. Natalia works with leaders and with individuals who want to live and lead from their essence with greater clarity, inner-freedom, well-being, courage, authenticity and fulfilment.
Some of the questions I ask Natalia:
- Are we currently experiencing a shift in human consciousness? (01:53)
- Will everybody use the lockdown to raise their awareness or will some distract themselves by watching Netflix, checking the news, etc. constantly? (06:49)
- Where do you see proofs for a collective shift in consciousness? (12:24)
- How will this change on a spiritual level manifest in the world? (15:22)
- Why don’t you fear that we are being driven into an Orwellian Society (30:01)
- Why can’t we remember our eternal “I AM” from before our birth? (37:44)
- Do you have goal in your spiritual journey? (42:50)
This talk with Natalia was powerful. She has a beautiful understanding of our deepest essence and talking to her made me feel hopeful, grateful and on a higher vibration.

Last week I released an interview with Champ Parinya, the creator of The Great Awakening Map. It was by far the episode with the most downloads ever on my podcast and I received overwhelming reactions from you. His message seems what the world needs right now and for that reason, Champ and myself did another episode where we go deeper down some of the rabbit holes you can discover on The Great Awakening Map. Learn about amazing concepts like sun gazing and liquid food as well as the importance of fluoride-free water and toothpaste. Learn why the world will soon become clean and world peace is coming.
Champ Parinya is an artist and Dzogchen Yogi as well as the creator of the Great Awakening Map. He is attempting to map a higher dimensional state of consciousness known as Hyperspace — a realm existing outside of time that is imbued with opulent, fractal landscapes of intelligent, kaleidoscopic light. His research into transcendental meditations and entheogens has revealed that psychoactive lenses can tune consciousness into receiving higher dimensional frequencies—journeying to see a glimpse into the deepest, darkest levels of existence where singularity and its allure are encountered. His art has been guest curated byMOCA as well as LACMA in Los Angeles.
Some of the questions I ask Champ Parinya:
- What can you tell us about Nikola Tesla? (02:02)
- Did anyone follow up with research on Tesla’s insights on the numbers 3, 6 and 9? (11:41)
- Will the truth be told in mainstream media at some point? (15:02)
- How can people get fluoride-free water? (25:21)
- Does fluoride also damage the pineal gland? (27:06)
- What is a breatharian? (36:23)
- How could the Baron Trump novels, written in the 19th century, could have so many prophecies in them? (39:42)
- Are many of our utopian dreams like a clean planet and world peace are already happening right now? (47:21)
- With the current developments, how long will history books be rewritten soon? (53:51)
- Who is Semir Osmanagic? (59:26)
- What is really happening on Antarctica? (1:07:07)

We are currently experiencing a historic moment in history. Covid-19 is impacting the whole planet. Many countries and regions are under lockdown and implement new laws in rapid speed. Denmark has already decided on mandatory vaccination and a number of countries have executed or are planning for cellphone tracking and use of the “Corona app”. The fear of many is that this could lead into an Orwellian State with full control over the people. At the same time, we are experiencing the inevitable economic collapse in fast motion.

One of the opportunities in the coronavirus phase is to use the time at home to discover and learn new things. In my view, conscious sexuality is one the most rewarding topics to get into during this time, because it makes you happy, it strengthens your immune system and it raises your awareness. If you discover conscious sexuality, you are astonished that so few people know or talk about something that is pure joy and accessible for everyone.
In this episode, I talk to Bibi Brzozka, who teaches energetic lovemaking, which some describe as gourmet sex, whereas the sex we learn from pornography is compared to junk food or lower vibration sex. I joined a jam-packed session of Bibi at the Summit 19 in LA, where she inspired me with her message. Bibi has had a successful career in banking & finance in high level corporate jobs around the world, including Wall Street, New York. At some point, when the life of performance, traveling, expansive hotels, shopping and shallow sex bored her, she started a journey to expand her consciousness and discovered energetic lovemaking, which she is now teaching to the world. Bibi lives today in Tulum, Mexico.
Some of the questions I ask Bibi Brzozka:
- How is the situation with Covid-19 in Tulum, Mexico right now? (01:51)
- How re you dealing emotionally with this situation (03:00)
- Coming from banking and finance, how did you discover the world of conscious sexuality? (08:52)
- Can you explain what it means that your consciousness expanded? (14:15)
- Is “normal” sex still part of energetic lovemaking? (17:33)
- Can you describe energetic lovemaking? What happens between people when they do it? (22:28)
- How can people develop from junk food sex to gourmet sex? (25:44)
- What do you do to have a full body orgasm? (35:58)
- Is it possible to receive 1:1 energetic lovemaking teaching from you? (39:48)
- Do you recommend for couples to learn together? (41:58)

Golf is a sport like no other. Whereas some even doubt that it is a sport, others use every minute they have to be on the course, play with friends or improve their game. Some think it is boring and for others it is the gate to a higher state of consciousness. If you go deeper into golf, you recognize, that it really has a meditative side to it, it demands high focus and concentration and it pushes you to not only reach high levels of body control, but also to control your breathing and your thoughts.
In this episode, I talk with Gaston Spithas, who is an Argentinian professional golf coach in Spain at the Costa del Sol and teaches players at every level on the various courts of Marbella, San Pedro de Alcantara and Estepona. Gaston is 31 years old and has basically started to play golf as soon as he could walk. He provides great insight into the mental side and the strategies of golf. These aspects are really fascinating for those interested in golf, already playing golf and also for those who seek inspiration for other areas of life, business or other sports.
Some of the questions I ask Gaston Spithas:
- Do you still have sex? (03:12)
- Golf was for a long time considered elite, old school and by some even boring. Has this changed in recent years? (04:36)
- What is so magical about golf (06:21)
- How do you teach people golf who start in their 30s, 40s or 50s? (12:12)
- How long does it take on average for someone who starts playing gold until they can play on an 18 hole course? (14:53)
- What are possible competitive golf strategies? (19:29)
- What does it mean to take risks in golf? (21:48)
- Is the mind game the real differentiator on the top level? (24:53)
- Is mental strength today taught systematically – and already to kids - in golf? (26:37)
- Is meditation used to improve mental skills? (30:15)
- How do you help players to change bad habits? (32:34)
- How do you help players to transform awareness into body intelligence? (35:36)
- What does it mean to be talented in golf? (38:03)

Acting is a fascinating industry and many dreamed to be an actor as a kid. So did I. Later in life, most of us give up on that dream for many different reasons. Then life goes on and it was just one of those childhood dreams to be an actor. But the beauty about the world that we are living in, is that we are never too old for anything anymore. If you are fascinated by acting and want to get access to the industry, this is possible. No matter if you are 20, 30, 40 or even older.
One great example for this is Jason Lazarus. Jason was always fascinated by acting but pursued another path in his professional life. When he reached a point where he really wanted to live his passion and go after his dreams, he re-discovered his fascination for the world of acting. He started the Inner City Actor’s podcast, where he interviews actors, directors and other professionals from this industry. His guests are inspiring, hungry and determined artists, mainly from London City. Now Jason is part of this world and adds value, builds up a network and gets inspiration from insiders constantly. Listen to this interview if you have a passion for the world of acting or if you find out how to enter any industry you want.
Some of the questions I ask Jason:
- How do actors become actors? Do you see certain patterns in their biographies or are there several different paths? (05:36)
- How are actors usually getting their jobs? (07:23)
- Do you interview directors, too (13:36)
- Can you start being an actor at an older age? (16:46)

As almost everything else in our world, marketing was radically disrupted by technology in this century. With highly sophisticated machine learning and big data analysis, the change will even be more profound in the future. The phenomenon where artificial intelligence buys and optimizes media based on data analysis is called programmatic marketing. Although most people outside the digital marketing space do not know what programmatic marketing is, it already effects the life of all of us. In this episode, David Lange explains programmatic marketing in a nutshell and describes some of the most impactful developments that we can expect in the future .
David Lange co-founded the programmatic marketing agency adlicious 6 years ago and grew it with his partner into an international player with 30 employees and offices in Hamburg and New York. David has studied in China and lived there for 1.5 years. After university, he took a job at one of the first programmatic marketing agencies and quickly learned how powerful it is. That is when he teamed up with one of his colleagues to start their own agency, adlicious.
Some of the questions I ask David:
- What did you learn about China when you lived there? (6:52)
- Why is programmatic marketing so powerful? (12:15)
- What is the advantage of programmatic marketing versus booking in media manually? (15:02)

As a leadership coach for CEOs, her outstanding skill is to help CEOs discover their blindspots and adjust them in order to increase the performance of themselves and their teams. Her podcast CEO Blindspots is a very special podcast because Birgit invites very successful CEOs who are humble and willing to talk about their vulnerability, struggles and weaknesses.

If you will be active in a business that is based on big emotions - for example sports or music - you will meet one special character by default: the creative hustler. The creative hustler is often behind the scenes but is a key player in the game, either pulling the strings, connecting people, making deals happen or consulting the visible players to create and execute their strategy. These could e.g. be player agents or lawyers in sports and label owners, A&Rs or artist managers in music. Very often, these creative hustlers are middlemen in a deal between two visible players. For me, these creative hustlers are the ultimate business artists.
Matt Schilt, aka Matt Fingaz, is one of those mysterious, charismatic and very important individuals who are professional creative hustlers.

We are in a period of constant and exponential change. Technology is already disrupting large parts of our life and the speed is increasing rapidly. This scares many people as change is associated with discomfort, risk and potential losses. Actually, change also always provides exceptional opportunities for growth, wealth and success. In the future, it will be important to be able to accept change, live with change and adapt to change. Everything will change, our work, the way we move, communicate, learn, do business etc., etc. To be able to still access the feeling of security, being relaxed and full of hope while being in the middle of change is going to be a challenge but it is possible.
In this episode I talk to Ammar Ahmad who has launched his videos show and podcast Denmark Real last year. Ammar was born and raised in Iraq and moved to Denmark with his family at the age of 11. This obviously meant radical change very early in his life, adapting to a new language, a new culture, new friends and new values from one day to the other. After he managed to transform from an “alien” to a “player” in Denmark, he went through the struggles of many young people in our age and time. He started to study and stopped, he started in one industry and stopped, trying to find his purpose, his identity and a vision he can believe in.
This journey has led him through a phase of reading, listening to podcasts and personal development, where he found the answers he was looking for from people like Napoleon Hill, Dale Carnegie, Earl Nightingale, Jordan B. Peterson or Brian Rose.
Today, he wants to inspire others with Denmark Real.
Some of the questions I ask Ammar:
- How did you find the 60 seconds rule? (01:49)
- What was the first thing you did after you listened to Earl Nightingale? (04:29)
- Which change did the outward world perceive from you after your reprogramming? (07:58)
- Did you need to start Denmark Real to find out your purpose? (11:00)
- How was it to migrate from Iraq to Denmark with your family when you were 11 years old? (14:03)
- Did you have to go to school without any knowledge of the Danish language? (15:05)
- Can you describe the social game that was played at school? (17:20)
- How have the struggles of your youth shaped you? (20:39)
- Why did Jordan B. Peterson have such a big impact on you? (24:54)
- Is free speech and freethinking one of the major topics in your show? (29:57)
- What is the vision for Denmark Real (34:05)
It was very interesting to speak to Ammar and get into the minds of the 18 to 30 year-olds. I have a lot of sympathy for this young generation and they give me hope for the future. I hope you will experience the same when you listen to this interview.

You are an artist! Just go and make your art! Do it now!
Do not wait for someone to give you approval to show your art. Pull the trigger. You are an artist. Do not wait for perfection. Perfection is an excuse for procrastination. If you are not at least a little embarrassed when you show your art to the world, you waited too long. Fight the resistance. Put it out.
Jonas Myrin is a Swedish Grammy-winning songwriter, a singer, musician and artist. He is writing with the biggest artists of the planet and will release his own album in 2020. He went to America as a nobody in 2013 and is today one of the dopest songwriters in Los Angeles. We met in his incredible house in Hollywood and talked about the art of business, how to value your worth as an artist and how the biggest disappointment of his career was the start of his successful journey in America. Listen to this episode with Jonas Myrin. It will give you the courage and inspiration to show yourself, express yourself and embrace yourself.
Some of the questions I ask Jonas:
- How does it make you feel to wake up in the morning and see the Hollywood sign from your window? (01:05)
- Why are you so interested in people (02:49)
- Did you ever doubt the artist in yourself? (14:55)
- As someone with a very artistic soul and purpose, how did you grow into a businessman? (18:08)
- Do you negotiate? (23:44)
- Which advice would you give a young, aspiring artist? (23:58)
- After you have reached so much, what are your big dreams now? (36:19)
This interview with Jonas Myrin really thrilled me. He is not only an amazing musician; he has a big heart and he connects with people deeply. He is a great role model for people who want to embrace their kindness, their compassion and want to have the courage to connect with people with an open heart. His advice is to believe in the artist in yourself and don’t wait to make and show your art to the world.

People who follow me know that I started my career in the music business and I am still very much connected with it. It was a fascinating business when I started in the 90s and I think it is today again a very fascinating business as technology has changed the industry so much that I would call it today the music tech industry. Distribution channels, income streams and marketing strategies have changed and evolved dramatically in this century and of course the music and the artists, too.
In this episode, I talk to Alex Branson, a music business expert, who has been on the forefront of the digital transformation of the music business. After many executive roles, VP International at Ingrooves being the most prominent one, Alex is today an independent consultant, working on fascinating projects with Empire, Facebook, Beatport, Rotor Video and other companies. He has also launched his own music industry podcast ABC Music Talk. I gave Alex a hard time, going through his whole CV, as his career really leads us through all the big music biz changes of the century.
Some of the questions I ask Alex:
- Why did you leave Ingrooves? (31:57)
- Why did you decide to start your own business? (37:15)
- What is the difference in the life of an executive in the music business to the life of an entrepreneur? (42:07)
- How do you see the future of major labels? (46:17)
- After streaming, could you imagine what the next level of distribution could be? (55:55)
- What is your advice for someone who wants to start his career in the music business today? (1:11:28)
This talk with Alex was a great deep dive into the music industry and led us from the golden age in the 90s through the digital evolution into the new golden age, the music tech reality of today.

This episode with Natalia Geiger can change your life.
We are blessed as a species because we developed this incredible powerful mind that enables us to communicate among billions of people, discover and develop high technology in many different areas and create things, stories and ideas that did not exist before. However, the majority of human beings have forgotten what we really are and identify with their thoughts and their ego and as a result experience stress, anxiety and suffering. When the body is in stress, the body does not function as it is supposed to function. This often leads to depression, anxiety and many other diseases. Being aware of the simple truth that we are not our thoughts and not our body is the first step to jump into consciousness and start experiencing the path of love, presence and true happiness. All this I have learned in this episode from Natalia Geiger and although I have known most of it before, there is a huge difference between knowing about this wisdom and having experienced the truth of it. Natalia has experienced it. And you can feel it.
Her story is truly fascinating and inspiring. Natalia is a powerful, vibrating and compassionate woman and works as a transpersonal coach for life and leadership, helping individuals and organizations to change and evolve. This is far away from the state she was in after her father died of cancer when she was 13 years old. At this point in her life everything crashed for her. She was first diagnosed with depression, then with chronic anxiety and then with a food eating disorder. Later in her life, she has an injury and could not walk for 5 years! Listen to her powerful story and learn how she coped with the worst possible things she could imagine happening to her and then developed into the inspirational coach and role model she is today.
Some of the questions I ask Natalia:
- Could you please explain the inner work you did to discover your true essence? (17:18)
- What is this true essence, this consciousness that we are? Are we living in a simulation like Elon Musk believes or what is the reason for all these challenges on the path to awakening? (23:15)
- What exactly did you do that healed yourself? (29:30)
- Are you always in a state of Zen in everyday life? (33:24)
- How do you bring this awareness for spirituality, love and compassion into organizations and their leadership? (37:41)
- What is your way to contribute to the evolution of us all? (42:57)
- You help many people on their journey of healing and finding purpose, where do you take your energy from, what is your source? (44:18)
- Can you reveal the name of your spiritual guide? (45:06)
This talk with Natalia was powerful. She has a beautiful understanding of our deepest essence and talking to her made me feel hopeful, grateful and on a higher vibration.

In today’s world of polarized debates, black-and-white mainstream media and corporate spying, speaking your truth, expressing your beliefs and even freely thinking your thoughts is becoming challenging for many. The high growth of longform podcasts, that give people the platform to express their thoughts without interruption or framing is showing the need of humans for deep connection on the basis of truth, realness and freedom. If this is given, different opinions, challenging beliefs and confronting values rather have the function of facilitating a great discussion than leading to blaming, violent communication and “I am right, you are wrong” debates.
A podcast particular dedicated to free thinking and talking is the Freethinkers Allowed podcast by Marcos Corral. Marcos is an US army veteran, a firearm instructor, a cannabis advocate, a musician and the founder of Freethinkers Allowed. His mission is to hold space for people to think freely, express their thoughts and speak their truth. Marcos discovered who he really is and how to express his true self through cannabis. You might discover it through his podcast.
Some of the questions I ask Marcos:
- What does “know who you are” actually mean? (06:03)
- Many people want to speak their truth but are blocked by fear. How can they manage to break through this resistance? (08:50)
- How did you find out who you are? (11:14)
- When you smoked cannabis, it made you really introspective and revealed a lot of uncomfortable truth about yourself. Was it easy for you to handle this truth? (16:19)
- What kind of guests are you inviting to the Freethinkers Allowed podcast? (25:36)
- What do you mean when you say we are all still children and nobody is an adult? (29:22)
The interview with Marcos was very important for me. I do not know of any human right that is more essential than being able to think freely. But this right is in danger and we need platforms like Freethinkers Allowed to protect it.

Even if you are not a professional artist, there are powerful benefits of being creative and creating art. Creativity is a competitive advantage in business and many of the most successful entrepreneurs are also extremely creative people. Examples are Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Richard Branson or Gary Vee. On the other hand, many of the most successful artists are also extremely smart businesspeople. Think about Andy Warhol, Madonna, Jay Z or J.K. Rowling. True business artists. The intersection between art and business is so fascinating, as many people think that these two domains are rather contradictory. Rebecca Schweiger, founder & CEO of The Art Studio New York, has made art her business and she helps people to get access to their creativity and unleash it.
Rebecca founded The Art Studio New York 15 years ago in her 1-bedroom apartment and build it up to a unique institution that does more than 100 classes a week in its beautiful studio in Manhattan. When Rebecca studied art and experienced how she was growing personally and spiritually through her creative work, she wondered why this wonderful practice was such a private club and only reserved for people who want to become professional artists. She also discovered what is today proven by neuroscience, that creating art has the power to change the brain from whatever state it is in to a much happier and healthier version. That was when she decided to found an art studio that gives everybody the opportunity to discover their inner artist. The rest is history and today people from all over the world come to The Art Studio New York to enjoy this space where they can be who they want to be and experience, explore and express themselves.
Some of the questions I ask Rebecca Schweiger:
- How did you get the inspiration to start your art school and what is the purpose of it? (02:09)
- How do you get busy managers, doctors or lawyers to discover their inner artist? (07:39)
- How long does it take until people see an impact from the artistic transformation in your studio in their personal lives? (13:39)
- How did you find out this method to teach people to discover their creativity? (41:39)
- You certainly had to hustle a lot to build up an art school in New York. How did you evolve as an entrepreneur? (50:08)
- As a very creative entrepreneur, do you engage in financial strategy, accounting and budgeting? (55:17)
- What can people who cannot come to your school do at home to access their creative genius? (1:02:23)
I really enjoyed this talk with Rebecca Schweiger. She has great insights into human emotions, creativity, art and business and uses her power to help many people to become healthier and happier and more successful.
