If you’re an artist tired of fluffy advice and overhyped social media gurus, let me introduce you to a podcast that doesn’t waste your time — Drink Tickets by Sean Dietrich.
Sean’s not new to the game. He’s been in the trenches for 30+ years, slinging paint, selling at rock festivals, shows, and underground art events, and navigating the ups and downs of the creative hustle. This podcast isn’t about “following your dreams” — it’s about building a sustainable, real-deal art career that doesn’t burn you out or leave you broke.
What’s It About?
Drink Tickets is a raw, real, and ridiculously relevant podcast for artists who treat their work like a business. Sean brings in guests who’ve been through it all — glass blowers, comic publishers, muralists, lawyers, whiskey distillers (yes, seriously). Every episode digs into topics that actually matter:
How to price your work
Why AI isn’t the death of creativity (unless you let it be)
What it really takes to build your following
When to say no to exposure gigs and “passion projects”
And how to run your art life without running yourself into the ground
Why You Should Care
This is the kind of podcast you listen to while you’re setting up your booth, driving to a show, or cleaning brushes at midnight. It’s not curated for clout. It’s not full of theory. It’s straight talk from people who’ve built something real.
And if you don’t have time for a full hour? He drops “Shots” — quick, tactical episodes that hit the highlights and give you something you can use today.
