Welcome to Fork In The Road my midlife career pivot experiment. Where I attempt to earn a living doing work that I love, creative work. And throw the concept of the starving artist out the window and focus on becoming a thriving artist. I’m Andy Marshall and I’ve decided that this season of my life, being a daddy, is perfectly aligned with my passion to make a series of kids books. And I’m documenting my journey along the way. And today I’m chatting with a couple of Creator friends of mine on Instagram live about all things creator but mainly focusing on this idea of how going live with other like minded creators can be beneficial for everyone involved. Because as Jeff Goins author of real artists don’t starve states. Thriving artists practice in public, have mentors, and find communities of like minded creators to collaborate with. So let’s start our virtual creator community off with this Instagram live chat I had with Jay Lippman, followed by Frank Garcia.
