ABOUT RON SCHULMAN
Ron Schulman grew up in the Sullivan County Catskill Mountains of New York where he was born in December 1962. He is a graduate of Hunter College, the City University of New York, where he holds a BA in Urban Affairs and an MUP in Urban Planning. He owns his own affordable housing development firm.
Ron has been writing poetry for the past 40 years ever since 11th grade as this is one of his favorite pastimes. He sees the world unfiltered; he listens as he walks, never with ear buds or headphones. He enjoys the sounds of nature and of people as they walk through their lives. Ron has built affordable housing for people who have difficulty finding decent places to live. His poetry compliments this work as he speaks about the human condition and what we need to do to help heal this world.
About the host, Miriam Schulman
In case we haven’t met yet, I’m an artist and founder of The Inspiration Place, where I help other artists learn how to profit from their passion. Through online classes, business coaching programs, and a top-ranked podcast, I’ve helped thousands of artists around the world develop their skill sets and create more time and freedom to do what they love. My signature coaching program, The Artist Incubator, helps artists go from so-so sales to sold-out collections.
After witnessing 9/11, I abandoned a lucrative hedge fund job to work on my art full time. Since then, my art and story have been featured in major publications including Forbes, What Women Create, The New York Times, Art of Man, Art Journaling magazine, Professional Artist Magazine, Igniting Creativity as well as featured on NBC’s “Parenthood” and the Amazon series “Hunters” with Al Pacino. Check out my best-selling book with HarperCollins Leadership, Artpreneur: The Step-by-Step Guide to Making a Sustainable Living From Your Creativity, wherever books are sold. When I’m not in the studio, I split my time between New York City and a farmhouse in the country.

What’s the biggest bottleneck holding your art business back?
Maybe it feels like pricing. Maybe it’s finding the right collectors, choosing the right opportunities, or figuring out what deserves your attention next. Or maybe you can see 3 different directions your business could go, and you’re tired of guessing which one is right.
That’s what we’re working on at the Chelsea Artpreneur Studio, October 28–29 in New York City.
This isn’t a conference or another workshop where you leave with forty new ideas. I’m bringing together a small group of established artists for two days of hands-on strategy built around the actual problems you bring into the room. We’ll look at your business, figure out what’s really holding it back, make the decisions, and map out exactly what comes next.
You’ll also have a professional branding portrait session, plus plenty of time around the table with a small group of artists who take their businesses as seriously as you do.
You’ll leave knowing what’s actually holding your business back, what needs to change, and most of all, what to do next.

Love this. I bought this book when I first heard about it. I really loved it. Your husband has a sweet soul and I enjoyed his poetry. Your assistant did a great job adding your art to the poetry. It is a lovely combo. I am going through you podcast and was tickled to come across this one, vert cute!
I bought the book for my Kindle, and am looking forward to reading it and seeing your artwork.
