] Watch The Long Haul Film from filmmaker Bryan Fugal Apologies for some of the audio mishaps in this one. Thanks for bearing with me. If you'd like, follow @artbreakerspodcast on Instagram for fun behind-the-scenes photos of the artists at work and snippets from the show. And if you have an admired artist you'd like to hear from, visit artbreakerspodcast.com for artist submissions, show notes, and more. You might have noticed that for these first few episodes of Art Breakers, most of the artists are from LA and Utah, that is because it was important to me to record in-person conversations for the first few episodes as we developed the podcast voice. As it grows, expect to hear from artists everywhere. I'm your host, Mandy Harmon, a film director, creative marketer, and sometimes with teeth gritted, consider myself an artist. Conversing with me in this podcast are mostly full-time creative artists of all kinds. Musicians, filmmakers, actors, sculptors, painters, writers, and many other kinds of storytellers. We talk about artistic philosophies, personal experiences, and even creative therapies that got our Artist Guests to where they are. From imposter syndrome, to when to quit, to how to persevere, to misconceptions of what artists need to be in order to be an "Artist.", we talk about it all in free-form conversation. Whether or not you personally identify as an artist, if you feel a call to be creative as all humans eventually do, there are valuable lessons to learn from full-time creative people.
