In Part 2 of the series, we will be discussing the second element of the seven principles of genius as gleaned from Michael J. Gelb's book How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci: Seven Steps to Genius Every Day.

This second principle is called Dimostrazione, putting theoretical knowledge into practice. As artists, we may learn many different techniques, philosophies, principles, rumors, and myths. It is up to us, as artist pioneers, to test all theories, and discover what works best for us.

Join the discussion and uncover your own genius.

This is the exciting start of our art success book club. We're going to be discussing the book How To Think Like Leonardo da Vinci: Seven Steps to Genius Every Day by Michael J. Gelb.

In this episode, we discuss the Introduction, and the first chapter, "Curiosita." We go over all of the different intelligences and provide a self-assessment so you can evaluate your own level of curiosity - an essential aspect of genius.

Do you look at your Instagram feed and feel bad about those 4 lonely likes? Are you a performer who thinks all is lost because you still aren't famous? Do you feel hopeless because you're just too damn old? Well, you might want to re-think those limiting beliefs. No b.s. - I've got 20 reasons why you should appreciate - nay, celebrate! - where you are right here, right now.

In this episode, I take a short break from discussing my entrepreneurial journey to discuss the foundation of everything I do. I don't typically discuss my spiritual beliefs, but I had such a powerful meditation the night before, that I had to share. Spoiler alert: if you are traditionally very religious, this may not be of interest.

Today I share some some of my experiences with just getting started as an entrepreneur. Perhaps all you have is an idea, or maybe you don't even have an idea yet. You just know that you want to create work you can be proud of. I talk about my experiences so far, and share some helpful resources. Throughout, I weave in lessons from the current book I'm reading, Big Money Energy by Ryan Servant.

In this episode, I discuss what I'm learning from reading Ryan Serhant's book Big Money Energy. I talk about how art and real estate are similar and why "big money energy" is important for artists. I also discuss one of Ryan's stories in the book and how I think it directly applies to creative professionals.
