In this episode, co-hosts Lauren Navarre and Jared Miguez sit down with artist, illustrator, and author Josh Wichterich — a creative whose work blends imagination, discipline, and purpose into a thriving business.

Josh shares how he built a career around his art, combining creative flow with structured processes that keep his business running smoothly. He opens up about the importance of self-awareness, how mindset directly shapes success, and why artists must treat their craft like a calling — not a gamble.

They discuss:
• What makes Josh’s artistic process unique
• How creativity and organization can coexist (and strengthen each other)
• Why mindset, discipline, and self-belief are non-negotiable
• The systems he uses to run his art business with professionalism
• His impact on the community through storytelling, illustration, and education
• Why you never have to be a “starving artist”

This is an inspiring and practical conversation for creatives, entrepreneurs, and anyone building something from the inside out.
