Last weekend we hosted our first local independent exhibition and it opened our eyes again. To work solely on social media with an international mindset regarding potential customers can actually do you a disservice. By wanting to include everyone you might end up excluding  your most valuable buyers. In this episode we talk about our experience of selling both online and in-person and how it has impacted our vision and motivation to continue to work within the arts as well as how to relate to the two markets (and to use both of them to your benefit).

In the past few weeks we've had to learn the hard way how to deal with  unpredictable change. Either through external events or internal  battles, we've discovered how to adapt and embrace the change as  something positive. Change is ultimately uncomfortable in the instant,  but it's in these moments that you're given an enormous opportunity for  growth on all levels of life. Don't let change drown you, rather let it  enrich you!
