Artists Laurie Ann Greenberg and Blaise Barshaw explore how they navigate creative collaboration in projects like the Camp Taps Beer Trailer, where ideas evolve through listening, experimentation, and the willingness to let go of control.Based in Spokane, Washington, Laurie Ann Greenberg and Blaise Barshaw are artists who collaborate professionally while also building a life together. Their creative partnership offers a practical look at how shared projects succeed when both people contribute their strengths, respond to unexpected outcomes, and stay open to each other’s perspectives.In this episode, you'll learn:How creative partners make decisions when both people have strong ideas.Why an initial “no” can become part of the creative process rather than the end of it.How listening helps collaborators avoid getting ahead of the work.What artists can teach us about sharing ownership and responsibility.How the skills of creative collaboration apply to both projects and personal relationships.Laurie Ann GreenbergIG @cordandclay.coEtsy StoreBlaise BarshawIG @blaisebarshawart Support the show*Sharna Fabiano is the author of Lead & Follow: The Dance of Inspired Teamwork and host of the Lead & Follow Podcast.
