MAV's Coffee Clarity with Denise-this is the Ask MAV & The Fox
Special Episode In this MONTHLY special episode of MAV's Coffee Clarity, Ask MAV & The Fox, we answer your questions…
MAV sits down with Troy—aka The Fox—to tackle a challenge many creative entrepreneurs face: finding the balance between artistic perfection and business efficiency. Inspired by a listener’s question from Boston, where a husband-and-wife woodworking duo struggles with time management and profitability, MAV and The Fox share their own experiences navigating similar tensions. With Troy’s expertise in fine art restoration—where precision and patience are everything—and MAV’s deep understanding of making creativity sustainable, they dive into practical strategies for harmonizing craftsmanship with deadlines, setting realistic expectations, and ensuring passion-driven work doesn’t come at the expense of a thriving business.
Whether you’re an artist, entrepreneur, or somewhere in between, this episode offers insights to help you turn creativity into a career—without losing your mind (or your margins). ☕ Grab your coffee, and let’s get into it!
Key Beans:
✨ “Sometimes nourishing creativity means stepping away from it—because you only have so much energy in the battery. To recharge, you need to get out and get away from it.” — Troy Amuso
✅ Authentic client conversations are essential—communicate the entire process, and never make promises you can’t keep.
✅ Work on multiple projects at once to avoid getting stuck on just one.
✅ Know your worth—charge appropriately.
