Being Both Teacher and Student with Cody Cook-Parrott

Dela

Cody Cook-Parrott is your small business owner’s favorite small business owner. The vulnerability that they bring to every aspect of their work has inspired thousands of students, colleagues, and peers, myself included! Writer, artist, and movement practitioner who builds simple structures that help artists make work, Cody’s focus is attention, creative ecosystems, and research, so your practice becomes a scaffolding to grow steadily, online and off.

Today we talk about the various seasons of life that impact business (we’re looking at you summer lull!), How to Not Always be Working, earning a MFA, and where Cody is putting their attention these days. 

Together, we hone in on:

  • The dichotomy between being a teacher of their own classes and workshops, while also being a student working towards their MFA
  • How classical pilates has informed Cody’s writing practice 
  • Writing publicly, writing in private, writing behind a paywall, and how Cody differentiates between the three
  • Feeling “unmoored” and how to navigate being in a liminal space in life and work
  • Cody’s new book, The Practice of Attention
  • Exploring how to measure “enoughness” in ways that go beyond financial stability
  • The importance of movement and its impact on Cody’s mental and physical wellbeing 


Tune in for a fun conversation between friends that’s full of takeaways you didn’t know you needed.
