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 or become better artists. 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 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, how to make money 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.

  1. Hello Miriam,

    Do you have assistants? I can’t imagine one person having time or patience to read all the emails you must receive.

    My first reaction when I watched your video on Sketch Revival was wow she’s got super credentials. I was impressed. I’m always looking for a mentor. Actually I need a small army to manifest and run all the art centered businesses my creative mind has designed over 77 years.

    At this point in my life I’m working a balancing act between sustaining self reliance, which can readily lead to isolation, and on-going search for stable connection with another or others that is art centered to engage my gifts, which can easily lead to depletion.

    Excuse my cynical side, but I just realized that what it looks like you have mastered is the art of selling how to sell. Congratulations.

    What I am interested in is how to create venues where we wander exploring new terrain and alternately wonder out load through our art as a way to get to know ourselves better and each other. The constant question for me is: “What are we here for as human beings?”

    Frustrated that I’m not good at navigating socially and I have so much to offer that I want to share. Look forward to your feedback. Appreciatively, Joy

  2. Miriam’s podcasts are the no-nonsense, kick-in-the-pants information that I need each week. I look forward to each one. The quotation that comes to mind from this episode is by Erin Hanson, an Australian poet who penned, “What if I fall?” Oh, but my darling, “What if you fly?”
