Rewriting Life After 9/11: The Artpreneur Journey of Miriam Schulman

from What Are You Made Of? · host Mike "C-Roc" Ciorrocco

In this inspiring episode of What Are You Made Of?, Mike “C-Roc” sits down with artist, author, and Artpreneur mentor Miriam Schulman, whose life took a dramatic turn after witnessing 9/11. Leaving behind a booming hedge-fund career, Miriam embraced her lifelong creative calling and built a full-time art business that has since been featured in Forbes, The New York Times, Art Journaling, Professional Artist, and even on major TV shows like NBC’s Parenthood and Amazon’s Hunters. She shares how a teacher’s simple encouragement in fourth grade planted the first seed of identity as an artist, how she later debunked the starving-artist myth, and why creativity paired with business skills can lead to true freedom. Miriam opens up about the moment she decided never to return to the Wall Street culture, how 9/11 reshaped her priorities, and how that choice led her to create a thriving art career and her signature Artist Incubator program, where she teaches others how to turn their creativity into a sustainable living. From the psychology of storytelling in art, to finding your signature voice, to building a brand rooted in meaning, this conversation is a powerful reminder that reinvention is always possible—and that owning your story is the first step to transforming your life.Website-http://SchulmanArt.com Social Media Links/Handles-https://www.facebook.com/schulmanart https://www.instagram.com/schulmanart/?hl=enhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/schulmanart
