How to stop being a starving artist and start charging your worth with Brian Witkowski

In this episode of the Fearless Artist Podcast, Michelle Lynne and Brian Witkowski dismantle the "starving artist" myth. Witkowski, founder of The Lucrative Artist, argues that poverty is subconsciously normalized in music education, leaving talented performers broke and burnt out. Contrasting Schubert’s struggles with Rossini’s prosperity, Brian encourages artists to adopt a "boutique" business mindset. Key insights include a practical formula for calculating hourly rates, the importance of fundraising like a politician, and the necessity of saying no to misaligned, low-paying gigs. Brian also offers a unique perspective on the AI era, asserting that human artists provide the essential "source code" for the future. The conversation centers on entrepreneurial architecture: building business models that sell themselves so artists can thrive without compromising their integrity. The episode concludes with a powerful reminder to use gratitude as a professional orientation to build confidence and reduce friction. ✨ Connect with Brian Witkowski: Instagram – Brian Witkowski (  / thelucrativeartist  ) Substack - https://thelucrativeartist.substack.com/ Website - https://thelucrativevoice.com/ ✨ Explore The Fearless Mastermind: Website – thefearlessartistmastermind.com (https://www.thefearlessartistmastermi...)
