Hey Weirdos!

I've been dying to get this talented and entrepreneurial girl on for a while and I'm thrilled to welcome the incredible Gemma Lessinger as this week's Professional Weirdo!

Gemma is a textural seascape artist, creative experience creator and female business mentor. She is on a mission to crush the illusion of the 'starving artist', to show everyone the power of creativity for mental wellbeing, as well as sharing her retail business knowledge with women from all industries, showing them that they too can turn their hobby into a thriving and profitable business.

In this episode, we chat all things Creativity - how to work with it, harness it, develop it, wrestle with it, schedule it, monetise it and nurture it.

SUCH an interesting conversation for all creatives who juggle creating and making as well as running the business side of the show. I know you'll get so much out of this episode.

Gemma also works with many non-creatives in her role as a Business Mentor, so whatever industry you're in, you'll definitely get some great takeaways from this inspirational hour long chat.

Join us as we hear Gemma's journey from Retail Buyer to Successful Artist, despite having not picked up a paintbrush for almost 20 YEARS! Yes, you read that correctly. Told you this was inspiring stuff.

We also talk about:

• The feeling of something missing
• Finding your calling
• The Freedom of self employment
• Packaging your knowledge
• The creative process
• Revenue opportunities for artists and makers
• Why everyone should be creative

This is one you aren't going to want to miss - I mean, in the first few minutes we talk about how we first met with me taking a photo of Gemma's rear - intrigued? Give it a listen!

If you've enjoyed this episode, please rate, review or share to your socials. Don't forget to tag @workitweirdo and give us a follow on Instagram.
