The MFA Podcast
Welcome to The MFA Podcast - where you will learn what they don't teach in art school. Here M stands for Mindset, Money, Manifestation, so much MORE, and of course - your host - Marina Granger, founder of The Artist Advisory. This is a transformative space for artists blending practical business guidance with powerful mindset and manifestation tools. Your host is powered by years of experience as a New York City Gallery Director and by certifications in mindset work, hypnosis, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), as a Reiki Master, as well as Classical Chinese Feng Shui, which help artists align their inner vision with external success. Whether it's a solo episode or an interview with a mystic or art world expert, each episode empowers you with tools and spiritual insights to create the life and art career you've always dreamed of.
