Creative Elements Podcast with Jay Clouse: Exclusive Cat Coquillette Interview
CatCoq Interview: Creative Elements Podcast with Jay Clouse
When Jay Clouse, host of Creative Elements podcast, asked if I wanted to appear on his show, I took one look at his impressive roster of previous podcast guests (what up, Seth Godin?) and answered with a resounding, “YES PLEASE.”
This marks my seventh podcast interview since my first podcast appearance on Travel Like a Boss back in 2016. Creative Elements bridges the gap between art and business by talking to high-profile creators about the nitty gritty of building our creative career.
Jay and I discussed about my journey into art licensing, entrepreneurship, and running my business from all corners of the world.
Other juicy nuggets of our convo:
Adaptability in life and work. (And why, for me, staying stagnant would mean a dead business in five years.)
Reframing risks to be massively beneficial and less daunting
What it's like to pivot into an entirely new career path
The 80/20 rule applied to creating art + earning income
Why artists should get over their fear of putting themselves out there
The nuts and bolts of negotiating a good deal with licensing contracts
Key points of leverage that artists might not realize they have when entering into new business deals
