What 300 Episodes Has Taught Me About Creativity, Confidence, and Staying the Course

In this 300th episode of Windowsill Chats, Margo sits down for a special solo conversation—answering thoughtful listener questions that span creativity, confidence, career longevity, leadership, and the magic that keeps artists going.

With over two decades of experience in the creative industry, Margo reflects on how her relationship with art has evolved, what she’s learned from running The Foundry, and the advice she returns to again and again when mentoring artists.

Margo shares:

  • How she makes space for her own creativity—and what her personal art practice looks like now
  • Ways to quiet imposter syndrome and trust decades of lived creative experience
  • The artistic work she’d most love to take to marketplace and why
  • Her favorite and most challenging parts of creative work and leadership
  • How the rise of AI has shifted client interest in traditionally created artwork
  • The advice she gives artists most often—and what truly matters day to day
  • Lessons from trade shows, licensing, and running The Foundry
  • What keeps her going, where she finds creative magic, and why it’s never too late to begin
