A speaker contrasts the aims of artists and business owners: artists aim to create compelling art, while business owners aim to run profitable, systematized operations. The speaker warns problems arise when someone treats a business-owner role like an artist role (or vice versa), and suggests each role has its place.
The goal of an artist is to make amazing art. The goal of a business owner is to have a profitable business. And those are two separate things. And I think sometimes we get them confused. Some people want to be artists, and some people want to be business owners. And I think there's nothing wrong with either one of them. But I think where you run into issues is when you is when you want to be an artist, but you're really in a business owner role, and you're getting them flip flopped. So if you're a business owner, you want to systematize things, you want to build systems, so then you can buy back your time and make more money. Whereas if you're an artist, you just want to make really cool art. And I think you can have different sides to it, But I think there's a time and a place for both.
