Ep 78 - Michelle Markwart Deveaux on Building Sustainable Businesses with the BeastyBoss™ Framework, part 2

In today's episode of The Vocal Lab Podcast, I'm joined by the inimitable Michelle Markwart Deveaux, whose unique blend of performance artistry and business acumen is reshaping how artists approach entrepreneurship. Michelle introduces us to her BeastyBoss™ Framework, a revolutionary approach designed to help artists and creatives establish sustainable businesses. This framework combines business savvy, radical hospitality, and tenacity, enabling artists to craft offers that truly resonate with their values and meet the needs of their ideal clients.

Throughout our discussion, Michelle breaks down the critical components of managing a creative business, including navigating legal and financial challenges, effective branding, and making strategic decisions. She emphasizes the importance of a solid business mindset and how artists can make a significant impact within their communities by staying true to their core values.

Michelle also dives into the practical applications of her teachings through The SpeakEasy Cooperative®, highlighting how essential it is for artists to think critically about the consequences of their actions and to establish clear, enforceable boundaries. This conversation is not just about building a business but about fostering self-awareness and understanding the nuances between boundaries and policies.

We also explore the benefits of live learning experiences and the necessity for artists to develop fundamental business skills to maintain control over their careers. An important tool Michelle discusses is the CliftonStrengths assessment, which helps individuals and teams understand and leverage their unique talents for better collaboration and efficiency.

Join us as we delve into these empowering strategies, all aimed at helping you, the artist, thrive in a competitive and ever-evolving industry.
