Grow Your Art Biz Podcast
Hosted by Nic Everist; artist, creative mentor & founder of the Thriving Artist Method
Formerly known as The Full Time Artist Podcast, this refreshed space is your go-to resource for building an abundant, soul-led, and authentic creative career.
Because let’s be honest; growing a business as a creative is nothing like building one in other industries. Your business is built around your creative voice, and that voice doesn’t fit neatly in a box. If you ignore it, you’ll feel the consequences: procrastination, self-sabotage, and resistance at every turn.
On Grow Your Art Biz, we dive deep into what it really takes to build a successful creative business—one that supports you financially and creatively. Each episode explores the three core pillars of growth:
-
🌱 Building strong foundations in your home base
-
🛠️ Implementing practical systems and structure to free up time
-
🌿 Evolving with a growth mindset while staying aligned with your creative voice
Join Nic for honest solo episodes and powerful interviews with creatives and industry experts who share valuable insights to help you grow your art biz your way.
Hiya, I am so glad to see you here!
Are you ready to build an abundant, sustainable and authentic creative business?
Do you often feel lost or overwhelmed with what steps to take next?
Would you love some guidance and resources to help you build your creative practice into a thriving creative career?
If you are ready to take your creative business to the next level you're in the right place!
Hiya, I'm Nic, and I am living my dream of working as a full time artist and I want to empower other creatives to do so too.
I feel I'm in a unique position to support creatives because I'm not simply a business mentor, I'm also a creative going through the ups and downs of a creative career.
And why do I think I have the authority to support other creatives to build successful careers?
Because not only have I done the work over the past 7+ years working with numerous business coaches and consultants to learn the basics of business and how to structure my business so I have a regular income AND can continually grow and evolve, I also have a very unique asset that a lot of creatives don't have - and that's my Dad.
Now I know having a Dad isn't an exclusive thing, but I have a Dad who has been a Business Consultant for 25+ years, has worked with thousands of businesses to help them achieve success AND I'm lucky enough to have a Dad that is happy to continue to mentor me through the stages of my business.
Because here's the truth - I'm still on the path to grow my business to the heights of success I'm working towards. While I am currently earning a comfortable income, I'm not done yet.
So when I'm working with you to build your business just know I can absolutely relate to what you're going through, because I'm going through it too.
I've felt lost and overwhelmed about how to build my career, I've felt hopeless and like it wasn't possible, I've felt like giving up when I've received yet another rejection... but the thing is, through all of those hurdles, you only get stronger, get smarter, and through a lot of reflection, self love, and guidance, I was able to up level to a place where I now earn more money than I ever did in my muggle job as a Physiotherapist, and I want to share my knowledge with creatives to help them build success in their businesses too.
My goal is to empower creatives to understand how to build structure and practices in their businesses so they are building a real income that can support their lives and their dreams.
I'm also really passionate about supporting creatives to find their unique point of view and creative voice, and helping them weave this throughout all areas of their business.
Not only have I built a business that pays me more than my muggle job as a physiotherapist, I've also built a 3 Stage Business Plan that walks you through the exact steps you need to build the business you've always dreamed of.

I believe the world needs more creatives sharing their unique voices with the world because I truly believe creatives can change the world. Through bringing our thoughts and ideas from our minds through our creative medium, painting, singing, crafting, we can create connection with our communities, we can illicit joy, nostalgia, intrigue, we can challenge the status quo, educate, be diversive, create change in the world around us.
The more creatives who are able to share their voice and reach their audience means the more likely we can create change and build the world we desire.
