In this episode of The Picture of Wealth Podcast, we dive into the world of creativity, entrepreneurship, and mentorship with the dynamic Julie deBoer—founder, President, and Chief Artist in Residence of Mastrius. Julie shares her incredible journey from self-taught artist to internationally collected painter and now, a founder of a global mentorship platform for artists.

Julie reveals how the idea for Mastrius was born after experiencing the transformational power of mentorship herself—and why she believes the starving artist is a myth. From humble beginnings to now impacting artists in 46 countries, Mastrius is democratizing access to master-level guidance for creatives everywhere.

We cover:

• The lightbulb moment behind Mastrius and how COVID accelerated its launch.
• Why mentorship is crucial to unlocking creative success—and how it changed Julie’s life.
• The business of art: how artists can realistically make six figures.
• The importance of building community and collaboration for sustainable creative careers.
• Why women in their second careers are fueling a new creative economy.
• Behind-the-scenes of winning the Okanagan Angel Summit.
• Insights on scaling a purpose-driven, global business for artists.

Julie’s story is a must-listen for anyone who wants to blend creative passion with real-world success—or simply be inspired by someone living out their purpose.
