How I Landed a Dream Internship After 6 Months of Silence | Artists Mindset Podcast
In this episode of Artists Mindset, I share the unfiltered story of how I landed an internship at a stop-motion company in Aarhus, Denmark, even after 6 months of silence and no response.
This story is for anyone who’s ever felt discouraged by rejection, uncertainty, or the slow pace of opportunities. What started as a chance encounter at one of my workshops turned into a life-changing opportunity, reminding me of two powerful truths:
✨ Stay curious about the people you meet — you never know where it might lead.
✨ You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.
If you’re an artist, creative, or anyone chasing opportunities, this episode will inspire you to keep putting yourself out there, even when it feels like nothing is happening.
