Do You Only Learn When You Have To, and The Artist's Path

Show notes

A conversation about how we actually learn — and whether real skill is forged under pressure or drawn out by curiosity. We start with a simple question about how you'd learn painting if you were doing it over, then follow the thread into survival, the pull between artistic calling and practical life, and the old debate about whether artists have to suffer for their work. Along the way: obsession, the inner pull to create, and what actually makes someone a real artist.

With Chris Minnick and Chris Penick.
