Amazing podcast, human behind it, and I completely respect and agree with her opinion on doggos.

Sarah is an amazing woman with so much talent. I love the interview with her brother and so proud of them for working to mend their relationship and brave enough to do this podcast. Ben is a very talented artist as well. This artistic talent is very much a Brown talent. Love them both!!

I trulyyyy love this podcast !! Every episode has beeen inspirational to my own practice . The host’s voice is not just sexy but soothing and easy to hear and very transparent and facts we all need to hear as an artist !

I have really been enjoying Sarah Rachel Brown’s choice of guests- I have discovered some really compelling makers in the field by tuning in. And she asks the questions I would be afraid to!😉

This is a warm, candid, and informative podcast for anyone trying to make any amount of money through their own creative endeavors. The guests are extremely generous with personal experiences and their trials and errors... as a metalsmith myself I love the peek into the world of others, and it's been tremendously helpful. Thank you, SRB!!

Easy going, informative, candid, and authentic. A must listen-to for aspiring artists who want to make a living doing their craft. The episodes are diverse in topic, that highlights the in’s and out’s of the business.

no one talks about how to make money doing art- much appreciated!

Lighthearted, thorough, an easy and informative listen!

As an art student, listening to this podcast has given me insight into sides of the art field that just are not openly discussed in academia. Perceived Value is honest, practical, humorous, engaging, and profoundly impactful. This is the resource I have been looking for. I am always eager to hear the latest episode.

This podcast brings the voice of artists in a way that transcribed interviews sometimes cannot… Hearing them speak conversationally with Sarah, hearing their tone and excitement, it brings about this depth that further shapes the way I look at their work. Love it. Favorite episodes include: Kathleen Kennedy, Susie Ganch, and Georgina Trevino 🔥

Great podcast! I’m so interested by everyone’s journey to where they are today. Talking about the podcast has also sparked some interesting conversations with the artists around me. Keep up the great work!

Totally against her opinion on doggos but digging the podcast regardless.

As a maker, educator and arts administrator in a role where I’m always trying to find ways to serve other self-employed artists, I can’t get enough of Sarah’s insightful podcasts. She chooses fabulous guests, asks them direct questions in layperson’s terms, and somehow also keeps it entertaining. It’s invaluable hearing the journey of others on similar paths as your own (especially when 90% of your life is wrapped up within a focal length of 6”!). Thank you, Sarah!

Sarah is a joy to listen to, very carefully, and with curiosity and joy, touching on topics usually avoided in the art world and artist circles. Each artist and maker (sometimes a DJ!) she welcomes in always brings new ideas and questions to the table, making each episode a new delight to listen to. Also- the sound quality and editing is GREAT. It’s clear that Sarah is dedicated to a quality recording and a genuine interview. The episodes are just long enough that I am entertained at length. Not too short and not too long. Thanks for great podcast, Sarah!

I can’t recommend this podcast enough, especially to emerging artists. Thank you for adding this gem to our community!

Sarah has worked tirelessly to shed light on some of the topics so often avoided in public spaces. How do artists actually make a living? How do we make ethical choices in our art making and business lives? In this faced-paced and throw-away culture, how do we help people care about community and quality? Thank you so much, Sarah, for your effort and dedication.

Amazing host, artists and topics!

While the topic is perceived value, this podcast is priceless. Thank you Sarah Rachel Brown for your endeavors and dedication on this podcast and in all things really.

Sarah’s breadth of coverage across the contemporary jewelry field - and other fields - is an invaluable tool to learn from. I’ve discovered new artists and new places. And the insights into each have given me such a great education. I’m always looking forward to who and what is next.

This podcast is what was missing from my studio practice! She connects with grass roots artists, ones you can truly connect with, and brings ideas and inspiration into my own practice. Go listen!!

As a gallery owner I appreciate that Sarah includes arts administrators in the podcast. I love hearing from artists about their process and how they navigate through the business of art.

Sarah asks the questions i'm always wondering about successful artists!!

I love getting really practical knowledge from active artists!

A wonderful podcast tapping in to the world of professional jewelry artists. I highly recommended emerging and established artists to give this podcast a listen 👏👏👏

It’s so awesome to see a fellow jeweler and maker come out and represent with a podcast that sheds so much light into the world of jewelers and makers. Sarah interviews a broad spectrum of individuals on her show, from curators to conference show organizers we get so many golden nuggets of wisdom of experiences from Sarah’s guests. Thank you so much for adding your value to the podcast world!

Thank you for doing what you do. Your conversations bring me a feeling of connectedness, I don’t feel so isolated working in my studio by myself while I’m listening. I also think you are quite funny and very good at interviewing 🙌 Thanks for packaging up all the knowledge!

This is such a wonderful and insightful podcast! Sarah really gets down to the nitty gritty with all of her guests, and as a maker myself, I find the conversations very reassuring and helpful. Makers from all backgrounds can get some valuable information from this podcast.

Sarah’s making a unique podcast that no one else is even considering. The quality is amazing, the guests have diverse strategies for getting by, and Sarah’s politely blunt questions get to some real information, beyond the kind of rehearsed spiel most artists reel off by rote. You won’t agree with every guest or opinion but it’s always fascinating!

This podcast is absolute fire!!! Sarah and her guests get down to the real talk about being an artist today. She invites an amazing range of artist from various backgrounds and experiences and they talk about the thing’s other podcasts wont talk about! Great podcast to listen to anytime of the day or night and Sarah Rachel Brown has a voice of an angel! Also, I’m waiting for my invitation to be a guest on the show...

Sarah is an absolutely incredible person who I’ve had the pleasure of meeting in person on a few separate occasions and I absolutely love her podcast. Definitely worth a listen if you are a jeweler or honestly any other kind of artist!

Great purpose executed well. Much-needed connection. Can’t stop smiling while harvesting value. Thank you, Sarah

Every episode has been so helpful and amazing! I love Sarah for making this podcast!!

Thanks !!!this podcast is my fav and thanks to you now I’m taking a class at the BJC. Cheers girl! Please keep making these. Funds coming at ya 🥂

Sarah is a joy to listen to, every episode is %100 real, enjoyable, and informative. I sing the praises of this podcast to everyone I know!

Great podcast from a skilled interviewer. The conversations are focused and informative. I save these to listen to on my commute to teach a jewelry class. They focus my connection to the craft world and reveal experiences I shared in and also those I didn't take.

As one of my favorite (and most recommend) podcasts to listen to in my studio I look forward to the new episode each week. Well done!

Perceived Value is the perfect studiomate! Working alone everyday for years now, I’ve found that this podcast helps create a sense of community for me that I wouldn’t otherwise have. I drop everything to tune in when a new episode is released! Thank you, SRB for picking the brains of the most interesting artists & industry professionals!

Trying to eek out a living as a jeweler is a bit like the idea of herding cats. Sarah is asking the questions many of us have wanted to ask, yet we aren’t exactly in the position to do so. She is a very welcome voice on the scene. There are countless ways to create a career in the arts but little by little these interviews will encourage us to follow our instincts. Ideally this podcast will educate the consumers/collectors, because our biggest problem is more often than not customers don’t understand just how expensive it is to ‘tool up’ and get some work out into the marketplace. More collectors, more patrons and educated buyers would be a most welcome side-effect to Sarah’s efforts in cracking the code to ‘perceived value’!

I’m a jewelry nerd, because on top of thinking about jewelry all the time, make jewelry all the time now I also listen to jewelry all the time thanks to Sarah pod cast!

I can’t tell y’all how much this podcast has helped me this past year. All the feelings I’ve been having are talked about in the podcast. Plus many questions I’ve had about money, logistics and things happen with in the contemporary jewelry field as addressed. I never knew a podcast could help me this much. So truly thankful for the work on Sarah Rachel Brown. She is incredible!

This is what all artists/creatives have been needing!! Thank you!!

This podcast is interesting and a great resource - I look forward to each episode!

This thoughtful, well produced podcast is providing dialog the contempory jewelry field desparately needs. While focused on the niche of comtemporay jewelry, many of the topics and guests cross over into other creative fields. A wondrerful resource to any creative type at any level, covering a broad range of how people are (or aren't) making a living as artists.

This podast is so great! I love hearing from my fellow metalsmiths and listening to this podcast motivates me to do new things!! Very informative and honest.

All of my other podcasts are on hold due to this one. Sarah Rachel Brown is such a great interviewer, and asks questions that are normally tip-toed around in such a thoughtful way. Great listening for anyone that knows the struggle and hustle of an artists’ everyday life. This makes my studio time less lonely and makes me feel like I’ve made some friends along the way.

A really informative and encouraging podcast for artists, especially if you fit the mold/s of art jeweller, emerging artist, working artist, curious maker. A podcast focussing on the very real issues related to being a practicing artist, presenting diverse opinions, paths and motivations.

As an emerging art jeweler, honestly just beginning to understand the “hustle” that’s in front of me, I couldn’t have found this podcast at a more perfect time. I’m looking forward to all future episodes! AND this is not just a podcast for jewelers, but anyone working in the creative art/craft world hustlin to be an artist. Enjoying every minute. Thanks!

Sarah Rachel Brown reaches a refreshing level of transparency with her guests. She taps perfectly into the contemporary jewelry field, but her reach extends beyond jewelry as well. I can’t speak highly enough of this podcast, and I look forward to each new episode’s release! I recommend it for creatives in any field who aim to generate income from their work.

I’ve been slowly getting back into jewelry making and have found so much useful information that I had either forgotten or was never taught when I was in school!

For over 30 years I've been an artist, and this is a great reality check. I wish I could talk about all this honestly with my collectors; it seems like artists are always having these conversations among ourselves, which probably doesn't do any of us any good. Why people think artists and creatives (especially women, for some reason) shouldn't get paid a living wage is simply beyond me. I often want to ask people who say my work is expensive, "How much do you make an hour to do work you love?" I don't, of course (no better way to offend a potential buyer), but I want to. Perceived Value, indeed. Thanks, Sarah.
