FASO Podcast Compilation: Discipline as the Defining Trait of Working Artists
The FASO Podcast has unveiled a new compilation episode named 'Discipline — Do It Because You Cannot NOT Do It,' which showcases perspectives from previous guests regarding the significance of discipline in an artistic career. Host Laura Arango Baier presents thoughts from Scott Tallman Powers, Chris Krupinski, Jeff Legg, Stephanie Marzella, Emma Kalff, and Jennifer Balkan. The discussion underscores that mere talent and passion fall short without discipline. Powers talks about sustaining income; Krupinski warns against distractions; Legg credits his business experience for instilling discipline; Marzella links her achievements to discipline; Kalff confronts her own self-discipline; and Balkan emphasizes the joy of the creative process. Additionally, the episode promotes a FASO Show webinar scheduled for August 13 with Kathleen Dunphy.
