405. Community vs Competition & Upcoming Travel Mural Opportunities

from Artist Academy · host Andrea Ehrhardt

It sucks to lose a mural job. Period. It also sucks to see another artist land the job you really wanted. Let’s just be real—it’s easier said than done to feel happiness for someone who got the opportunity you were reaching for.In this week’s Artist Academy Podcast, I’m sharing stories from my own career where I’ve been on both sides of that coin. I’ll walk you through how I overcame those negative feelings and reframed them into something useful. Instead of dwelling on what I didn’t get, I’ve learned to ask:• How can I stand out in a crowd?• How can I niche down even more?• How can I enjoy what I do daily, even more?• How am I already different from other muralists in my area?This episode is all about choosing community over competition, sticking to your value instead of lowering your prices, and finding your unique edge.And before I wrap up, I’ll also give you details about the 2026 Costa Rica Mural Meetup —a week of mural painting, spray and latex training, sunrise yoga, and jungle adventures. Get all the info and see the mockups here: www.artistacademy.co/meetup
