PROFITABLE TALKS...

In this conversation, Christian Brim interviews his daughter, Mackenzie Brim, about her journey as a creative. Mackenzie is a figurative oil painter who also teaches art classes, does murals, and takes on various creative projects. They discuss the struggle between following one's passion and making money, the different approaches to creativity in commercial art versus deeply personal art, and the importance of creating without thinking about the business aspect. They also touch on the role of AI in creative work and the connection between creativity and divinity.

PROFITABLE TAKEAWAYS...

  • Creativity and making money are not mutually exclusive; it's about finding a balance between following your passion and finding commercial success.
  • Creating deeply personal and resonant art requires being in a creative bubble without thinking about the business aspect.
  • Different types of creativity exist, from finding alternative ways to use or do something to creating something entirely new.
  • True art comes from a connection to something greater than ourselves, whether it's called divinity or inspiration.
  • AI can replicate formulaic and commercial art, but true creativity and inspiration are unique to each individual.
