As a multi-passionate creative herself, creativity coach and  host of the Multi-Passionate Artists Podcast, Diane Foy understands how difficult it is for multi-passionate creative entrepreneurs to present themselves to the world. This week she joins the podcast to talk about the power of personal branding and showing the world all the wonderful things you do instead of trying to keep them under wraps!

Multi-passionate creative entrepreneur Diane Foy is on a mission to challenge the saying “jack of all trades, master of none” because Renaissance souls are limitless in their capacities for knowledge and development. Here are just some of the highlights from Diane’s career:

  • 16 years as an arts and entertainment publicist working with the likes of Perry Farrell, Sass Jordan, Big Sugar, DOA, Mackenzie Phillips, Robb Wells, Tyler Blackburn, and Todd White.

  • 10+ years as a makeup artist on sets with talent like David Foster, K-os, Robin Black and I Mother Earth, as well as backstage at major fashion shows. 

  • Prior to becoming a makeup artist, Diane studied professional photography and lived the life of a fashion photographer for about 5 years.

  • Along the way, she also held the titles of pr & marketing coach, music journalist, artist manager, jewelry designer, pet care specialist and often returns to photography.

Today, as a creativity coach, she draws on all of that knowledge and experience to empower multi-passionate artists to embrace their talents, ambitions, and story in order to slide into the spotlight with the impact and income to match.

On the Multi-Passionate Artists podcast, Diane has conversations with artists, musicians, actors, dancers, painters, photographers, and other creative souls on their journey, process, and entrepreneurship. Solo shows offer coaching drawn from her 30 years of experience as a multi-passionate creative entrepreneur.

Diane’s personal brand proudly includes her love of cats, red wine, and Janet Jackson.
