## Resource

In this episode of the  Artist Academy podcast , I sit down with  Lennon Bone , founder of Stop the Starving Artist, to talk about why connecting with people matters more than perfect content or clever marketing. We explore how storytelling, values, and real human experience help audiences connect with art, why fear of judgment keeps artists stuck, and how reframing marketing as an exchange—rather than manipulation—can change everything. If you’ve ever struggled with sharing your story or felt uncomfortable selling your work, this conversation will help you approach both with more clarity and confidence.
