All works benefits from revision and the creative process demands iteration. Since you are but a single person (for now, any day I'm sure I'll transcend into a gestalt entity,) how do you get thoughts that aren't natively yours? You ask for notes. (you already knew that, it's the name of the episode.) 

Good notes can be hard to find: some people need coaxing to really give you what you need, and then even if they sometimes you're too defensive and you shut down the conversation just as its beginning. 

As Aaron faces a looming pile of notes he shares his thoughts on how to solicit good notes, and how to prevent yourself from getting in the way.

If we want our work to be meaningful it must first be remembered. After a bit of catch-up and new business Aaron and Steven discuss what ways a work may be made more memorable and what can be done to strengthen that part of their work.

The first step to addressing any problem is acknowledging its existence, but as artists, people, and marketers there are a lot of pressures to always present a flawless front. 

In this epsiode Aaron takes aim at three fairly major issues he finds in his own practice as he explores fears that keep him from reaching higher, focusing more, and pushing forward. 

We hope you still like him.

Whether one is designing a cult or just wants to amortize artwork merchandising is a great additional revenue stream for an arts business and for awareness of the company. 

As with everything business related Aaron and Steven aren't good at it. But they're trying. They talk about their first steps into this world and where they're going with it.
