The Renegade Musician: Starving Artist Syndrome

The “starving artist” cliché has been perpetuated through the ages. Stereotypes exist for a reason, but you can’t just yield to accepted norms if you hope to be successful. After all, successful people are abnormal. Which should tell you something, namely that questioning and abandoning the norms is part of the hero’s journey. In this episode of The David Andrew Wiebe Show, David illuminates the often forgotten value of creativity and its many benefits and applications, the key reasons artists starve, and why setting meaningful boundaries is crucial to becoming a Renegade Musician. In This Episode: Why creating is godlike The devastating trend that plagues creativity in the education system How creativity benefits the development of the child (and individual) Why creative and innovative solutions in business are essential The real reason artists starve Why taking initiative is the real flex Key Resources: The Renegade Musician: Step out of the shadow of the old music career model The Starving Artist Syndrome Starving artist stereotype notwithstanding, no artist needs to succumb to a full-blown syndrome. The way forward? Question everything. Disconnect from unhelpful individuals and advice. Don’t let others steal your dream. Don’t listen to those who say you can’t do it. Your purpose is uniquely yours, and only you can bring it into reality. To be a Renegade Musician means to be different. Not just different from people who don’t call themselves artists, but also from artists who are doing things exactly as other artists are doing them. “Because everyone else is doing it” is a horrible reason to get drawn into a game of “follow the leader.” You can’t let others write your story. You must write your own. For a step-by-step guide to accomplishing this, pick up your copy of The Renegade Musician on Amazon.
