with host artist Miriam Schulman
Today, we dive deep into the concept of delayed gratification and explore how it can fuel your productivity and propel you towards long-term success.
Gego, the groundbreaking Venezuelan artist known for her innovative wire sculptures, teaches us about the beauty of embracing the process and allowing ideas to evolve organically. Learn how Gego’s patient exploration and experimentation led to the creation of intricate and mesmerizing artworks that continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
In addition, we explore the transformative artistry of Lauren Halsey, whose vibrant installations immerse viewers in a world that merges fantasy and reality. Delve into Halsey’s creative process, inspired by her community, and learn how her dedication to long-term projects has enabled her to make a profound impact through her art.

“Anything that you do that is your weakness, is also your strength.” – Miriam Schulman
If we just look around and observe enough, we’ll pick up things to learn everywhere. By immersing ourselves in the world of art, we become open to lessons from other artists. It can be their approach to making their art, the development of their styles, or maybe just a small peek into their worldview.

Miriam is so knowledgeable and beyond that, caring and enthusiastic! The ChatGPT episode was one of my favourites… hearing the two of them talk over each other excitedly was a joy, and I learned a lot. Learning from experienced mentors is key for me on my journey, and I’m excited to hear more episodes from the Inspiration Place to help me with mindset and business mastery in my own creative way! – Chantelle, Clear Quartz Creative

Ikd why you thought this but Montreal definitely has Uber.
…I just want to add that I normally enjoy the ads, or don’t mind them. Now I’m either going to skip over them or not listen anymore.
This was such a great podcast, but those AI things make me not want to listen to your podcasts – they give me the heebeejeebies.
