Access Your Creative Genius with Rebecca Schweiger

The Business Artist Podcast - A podcast by Jan Mehlhose

Even if you are not a professional artist, there are powerful benefits of being creative and creating art. Creativity is a competitive advantage in business and many of the most successful entrepreneurs are also extremely creative people. Examples are Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Richard Branson or Gary Vee. On the other hand, many of the most successful artists are also extremely smart businesspeople. Think about Andy Warhol, Madonna, Jay Z or J.K. Rowling. True business artists. The intersection between art and business is so fascinating, as many people think that these two domains are rather contradictory. Rebecca Schweiger, founder & CEO of The Art Studio New York, has made art her business and she helps people to get access to their creativity and unleash it. Rebecca founded The Art Studio New York 15 years ago in her 1-bedroom apartment and build it up to a unique institution that does more than 100 classes a week in its beautiful studio in Manhattan. When Rebecca studied art and experienced how she was growing personally and spiritually through her creative work, she wondered why this wonderful practice was such a private club and only reserved for people who want to become professional artists. She also discovered what is today proven by neuroscience, that creating art has the power to change the brain from whatever state it is in to a much happier and healthier version. That was when she decided to found an art studio that gives everybody the opportunity to discover their inner artist. The rest is history and today people from all over the world come to The Art Studio New York to enjoy this space where they can be who they want to be and experience, explore and express themselves. Some of the questions I ask Rebecca Schweiger: -  How did you get the inspiration to start your art school and what is the purpose of it?

(07:39) -  How long does it take until people see an impact from the artistic transformation in your studio in their personal lives? (13:39) -  How did you find out this method to teach people to discover their creativity? (41:39) -  You certainly had to hustle a lot to build up an art school in New York. How did you evolve as an entrepreneur? (50:08) -  As a very creative entrepreneur, do you engage in financial strategy, accounting and budgeting? (55:17) -  What can people who cannot come to your school do at home to access their creative genius? (1:02:23) I really enjoyed this talk with Rebecca Schweiger. She has great insights into human emotions, creativity, art and business and uses her power to help many people to become healthier and happier and more successful.
