#209 Lara Cornell: Author and Mentor May 05, 2021

Show notes

Artist Lara Cornell lives in Minneapolis with her family. Her career has been built around her love of travel and meeting artisans all over the world. She hosted retreats in Europe, and she had a collaborative art space near her home. Like many, her travel abruptly ended, and she ultimately closed her brick-and-mortar space. Instead, Lara took time to educate herself on business skills and how creatives can improve their marketing, branding, and focus. She wrote a book, and it recently launched and has already become a best-seller. We talk about her book and how she can help other creatives. If you’d like to listen to my previous episode with Lara, it is Episode 136. Show notes for all of these episodes can be found on my website at https://suzanneredmond.com/my-podcast/list-of-artists/
