CS Murphy,
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for joining us, we appreciate your support.
My earbuds don’t have a mic on it. I’ve used these before without static. I was however trying to monitor several sites that were hosting the video so I am thinking that might have been causing the problem : (
I’m hoping it wasn’t too distracting.

I’d just found Mr. Silver recently. Great interview. I thought it was interesting how much of Stephens outlook is based on an extroverted ideal which would be naturally challenging for a lot of introverted artists. That’s going to take some practice. Negotiations, closing deals, it’s a whole different skill set to learn. I wonder if he covers any of that in his classes.
The audio quality was a bit distracting. Both of the hosts faded out frequently. Not sure how to improve that. Maybe record to external device instead of through the computer, bypassing any interference? /shrug
Again, great interview, thank you.
Anything new and out of our comfort zone is going to be challenging and will require diligent practice. Like many artists I am an introvert by nature, it has taken extreme effort and discomfort on my part to become more of an extrovert to achieve my business and personal goals of making a difference. They are all skills you can develop if you choose. Just simply decide to do so, you can do it.
I would highly recommend looking into joining a Toastmasters club in your area. The experience can be life changing for those of us who consider ourselves introverts.
I’m not sure if Stephen offers a specifically designed program or series of classes on a systematic approach to the business side of art. Though I assure you it doesn’t take much to get him talking about the subject, and will likely make time to cover the topics in workshops etc.
Thanks for joining us and for contributing to the conversation.
