Unlike many business podcasts, which tend to talk to highly successful entrepreneurs whose struggles are in the past, the 21 Hats Podcast features a rotating cast of business owners who are still very much in the trenches fighting the good fight. Every week, our regulars gather to talk about the kinds of important issues many owners won’t even discuss behind closed doors: whether their businesses are as profitable as they should be, whether they are willing to give up some control to an investor in order to grow faster, why they had to lay off employees, how they wound up with way too much inventory, why they don’t have a succession plan, and even why they are concerned about their own mental health. Visit 21hats.com to hear all of our podcast episodes, read episode transcripts, and learn more. The show is produced by Jess Thoubboron, founder of Blank Word.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-18T20:17:08.095147+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/21-hats-podcast-502638"},"episode":{"title":"Dashboard: Helping Creatives with the Business of Art","slug":"dashboard-helping-creatives-with-the-business-of-art","published_at":"2026-06-12T09:00:15+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/21-hats-podcast-502638/dashboard-helping-creatives-with-the-business-of-art","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/21-hats-podcast-502638","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/dashboard-helping-creatives-with-the-business-of-art--72483460","audio_url":"https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/72483460/dashboard_helping_creatives_with_the_business_of_art.mp3","summary":"For years, Kim Robinson worked on the brand side, helping major companies connect with artists and creatives. Eventually, he decided he’d rather be working for the artists themselves. So he launched 3pts, a company that helps creatives handle the business side of their careers—everything from pricing and marketing to partnerships and strategy—so they can spend more time focused on the work they love.The first challenge, Kim says, is convincing artists that thinking about money and business doesn’t somehow compromise their creativity. The second is helping them understand that even the most gifted creatives still need a framework for pricing, positioning, and building sustainable careers. In our conversation, Kim explains why so many artists struggle with the entrepreneurial side of their work, what brands often misunderstand about creative talent, and why he eventually realized he had more in common with his clients than he expected.","meta_description":"For years, Kim Robinson worked on the brand side, helping major companies connect with artists and creatives.
