Show Notes
The starving artist mentality is alive and well in 2025 as artists are told they’ll never make a living from their work. But today’s guest is living proof that’s a lie. Tim Packer is a former police officer turned celebrated Canadian artist and teacher, who walked away from the badge, cashed in his pension and went all-in on his creative dream. Tim is a natural storyteller and unfolds his entire creative journey for us in this episode. He shares the decisions that led him to becoming a police officer, the tragedy that turned his life toward art, the conversations he had with his wife at inflection points throughout his career, and many other lessons we can all learn from as we build our creative businesses.
