When we talk about success we tend to only focus on the flashing lights and forget what’s behind that curtain.

The uncertainty. The ideas that didn’t work. The relationships we lose along the way. The decisions that changed us. And, more than anything, the decision to keep going.

That’s what The Emerging Artist Podcast is about.

We sit down with artists, entrepreneurs, creators, business owners, innovators and creative thinkers to talk about the part behind the finished product.

Because “emerging” has very little to do with being new but being who you are meant to be. Always learning. Always figuring things out. Always creating. Always becoming.

🎙️ The Emerging Artist Podcast New conversations coming soon.

Follow @emergingartistpodcast and come meet the people behind the work.

How do you get more referrals? It starts with something simple: relationships.

In this conversation from The Emerging Artist Podcast, Scott and Shiree talk about something that often gets overlooked in business: genuine relationships create opportunities.

Sometimes growth isn’t about reaching more people. It’s about building stronger relationships with the people already around you, and giving them a reason to remember you, trust you, and recommend you.

🎙️ The Emerging Artist Podcast — Season 2
New conversations coming soon.

Creative Director: @hectorpichardos

Can you really make a career as an artist? Michael Monroe’s answer is simple: “Yes, you can.” But his journey was anything but overnight.

Before becoming a full-time artist, Michael spent 32 years as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, working with children, teaching pediatric anesthesia and building a career in medicine, all while continuing to paint.

Eventually, one career began giving way to another. Not through one dramatic breakthrough, but through years of creating, experimenting, building relationships and believing there was something more ahead.

“It’s not easy being a professional artist, but it can be done.”

From medicine to painting, music and beyond, Michael’s story is one of the conversations we’re excited to share on The Emerging Artist Podcast.

🎙️ Episodes launching soon. Follow @emergingartistpodcast and come with us behind the story.

Special thanks to @anthonychiarolanza and @bonitarejuvenation for allowing us to use their space as the studio du jour.

Some of the most interesting stories in Naples are hiding in plain sight.

For more than 31 years, Gene Ur and his family have built American Paint Supplies Inc. from a local independent paint business into something much bigger, while staying true to what made it work: listening to customers, building relationships, and never losing the creative side of the business.

“If you’re not growing, you’re dying.”

That philosophy runs through Gene’s story, from starting the company with his father and brother to expanding into specialty and decorative finishes, teaching creative classes, and building relationships throughout the industry.

But there’s another side of Gene you might not expect. 👀

Here’s a little BTS from our conversation. Follow @emergingartistpodcast and stay tuned, the first episodes are coming soon. 🎙️

Special thanks to Acopio Coffee’s Coffice for giving us a space to create and record this conversation. ☕

Excited to share that our July issue was awarded one of the TOP COVER AWARDS out of over 500+ Stroll publications across the country.

Special shout-out to my media team @reinvent.studio with photographers @scottmarkowitz_ and @hector_pichardos for bringing my vision of this very special issue to life.

We had so much fun with this shoot and the kids from @mooringspresbyterianpreschool_ were beyond fantastic! They were so pleasant and well-behaved.

It takes a village to connect a community, but this is what Stroll is all about!
