Transcription: Betsy [00:00:05]:Welcome to the art of living big podcast. My name is Betsy Paik. I’m an author, a speaker, and a trainer of NLP and hypnotherapy, and I’m focused on helping you understand and design your life with the power of the subconscious. This podcast is designed to help you think differently about what could be possible for your life. Now let’s go live big. All right. Hi, everyone. Welcome to the show today. Betsy [00:00:35]:Welcome to the art of living big. I’m excited today because I have a friend with me, and I’m going to tell you the story of why we’re doing this show, although I’ve wanted to have her on the show for a long time because I think it’s going to be insightful. I think you’ve got a lot of things to share. So today I have my friend, Leanne Slotkin. Hey, Leanne. Lea Ann Slotkin [00:00:54]:Hi. Thanks for having me. Betsy [00:00:56]:Yeah, I’m excited to have you here. I feel like. May I say this? We met maybe a year ago. Lea Ann Slotkin [00:01:04]:Yeah, probably. Yeah. Betsy [00:01:06]:I think I had just moved into my house. Lea Ann Slotkin [00:01:08]:Yeah, you had. Betsy [00:01:10]:And you stumbled upon my. The podcast or just my instagram? Lea Ann Slotkin [00:01:15]:I Instagram stalked you. Betsy [00:01:16]:Yes. Lea Ann Slotkin [00:01:17]:And then. Betsy [00:01:18]:And then we lived, like, right down the street from each other, and now we’re BFF’s, so it’s very fun. So I’m excited to have you on the show. It’s kind of fun if you found me from the show to be on the show. Lea Ann Slotkin [00:01:29]:Yes, exactly. Exactly. Yeah. So, Maddox, so tell everybody a little. Betsy [00:01:34]:Bit about you and what you do. Lea Ann Slotkin [00:01:35]:Yeah. Well, like you said, my name’s Leanne. I live in Atlanta. Well, actually, Decatur. And I’m an artist and a coach, and my. I have a whole, like, 20 plus year career in women’s fashion, have always done art on the side and transitioned to doing it full time about six years ago. And I’ve had some success. I’m always surprised when someone. Lea Ann Slotkin [00:01:59]:I’m still surprised when someone buys my work. I find it astonishing, and I’m always so grateful. But my work is represented by a gallery in Atlanta, and I’ve had a lot of fun collaborations with brands like Serena and Lily, Carmax, Framebridge, all kinds of things. So I’m very fortunate. And then during the pandemic, I decided to get my coaching certification so I could help artists become business owners and actually have a profitable creative business. So those are the things that I do. Betsy [00:02:32]:I love it. Serena and Lily, that seems very fancy pants. Like, I remember when you told me that, I was like, ooh, I don’t know. Why is fancy pants, though? Yeah. Lea Ann Slotkin [00:02:45]:You know, the gallery that I’m with in Atlanta has a lot of great connections, and so we have.
