The Art of the Grind
Your guide to surviving and thriving in the digital age. Creative entrepreneurs, freelancers, and working artists talk about the keys to their success and the lessons from their failures. Hosted by Drew Lewis and Caleb Auston, this is the Art of the Grind. Whether you’re an up-and-coming artist and feeling the isolation of putting in hundreds of hours by yourself, or a struggling entrepreneur hoping to learn new survival techniques during these trying times -- the grind is real. We might not have all the answers, but in this podcast we’ll explore unique perspectives from self-made professionals and champion the idea of community. None of us are in this alone.
