In this episode of 'How was your day?' the podcast, we sit down with one of the most driven individuals trying to make a positive change in the world of art. Meet Sophie Barfod.
Sophie is the founder of SΦFI Studios, a multidisciplinary art house aimed at empowering artists and creating a market for emerging talent. Sophie's journey to founding SΦFI Studios was influenced by a combination of her educational background, professional experiences, and personal growth.
Before founding SΦFI Studios, Sophie studied business economics with a focus on data science. She then ventured into consulting and corporate strategy roles, which exposed her to the corporate world but left her feeling unfulfilled creatively. Despite excelling in mathematics and logical fields, Sophie realized her true passion lay in the arts and creativity.
Sophie's pivotal moment came during a trip to South America, where she immersed herself in the vibrant art scene and witnessed the transformative power of art in communities affected by conflict and oppression. This experience ignited Sophie's passion for empowering artists and leveraging art as a tool for social change.
Sophie's observations of the art industry, both in South America and globally, led her to identify systemic issues, such as the dominance of auction houses and galleries, which limit opportunities for emerging artists. She believes in challenging these norms and creating a more inclusive and accessible art market.
So what is the goal for SΦFI Studios you ask? It has multiple layers, she aims to:
Empower artists to pursue their passion and create meaningful work.
Create a market for emerging talent and challenge the dominance of traditional art institutions.
Foster a community where artists can collaborate, innovate, and thrive.
Use art as a vehicle for social change and cultural dialogue.
Want tips on how to become the artist you have always dreamed of becoming? They reflect her belief in the importance of experimentation, perseverance, and authenticity:
Find your process: Discovering your unique creative process is essential for developing your artistic style and voice.
Embrace imperfection: Don't be afraid to make mistakes or produce imperfect work. Growth and improvement come through practice and iteration.
Make more work: Consistent practice and production are key to honing your skills and developing as an artist.
Join a supportive community: Surround yourself with fellow artists who can offer support, feedback, and inspiration.
Pursue your passion: Above all, follow your passion and stay true to yourself as an artist.
Sophie's journey from the corporate world to founding Sophie Studios reflects her commitment to living authentically and making a positive impact through art. Her vision for SΦFI Studios is not only to create a successful business but also to cultivate a vibrant and inclusive artistic community that empowers artists to thrive.

In this episode, we will be listening to Daniël Wijnroks, a 24-year-old entrepreneur, talks about his upbringing in the Netherlands and his exposure to both Portuguese and Dutch cultures. He discovered entrepreneurship at the age of 12 when he saw wealthy yacht owners and decided to create his own way of making money, which he monetized and made a couple hundred per month (at the age of 12!).
He later founded his own company called Place of Performance, which has three labels, including OPA, an Online Performance Agency that helps businesses grow through online marketing.
Throughout Daniël’s experience with running a business, he emphasizes the importance of balancing urgent and important work and highlights the significance of monitoring KPIs, especially for sales and customer happiness, to ensure growth.
He also talks about the importance of daily routines, such as stand-ups, to improve communication and productivity with his team.
In the early stages of his company, Daniël has experienced that the founder has to wear multiple hats, including finance controller, acquisitions, content writer, and personal growth leader. However, having a team is the most important aspect for success due to the fact that the founder can only do so much and has the ability to share their vision with the team which allows them to work together to achieve their goals and grow together.
To wrap it up, Daniël and I discuss the importance of belief in oneself, the benefits of having a coach/mentor who can guide you by asking questions, and the importance of good marketing in running a successful business.
Daniël truly believes that entrepreneurship is about visualizing and communicating that vision to a team of enthusiastic people to get everyone on the same page.
And last but not least, we discuss the importance of love and guidance in developing confidence and reaching your potential.
To this day, Daniël is working hard in giving people the energy to grow so that everyone can reach their full potential. A true inspiration.

Meet Eva, a photography student in the city of Utrecht in the Netherlands. Eva is resilient when it comes to photography and doing it her own way, from diving into mental images to acquiring the ability to visualize abstract items such as Alzheimer's through photographs. I had the pleasure to meet Eva at a local bar in Utrecht known as Walden.
In this episode, Eva and I talk about photography and what it truly means for her. How photographs are pieces of reality and what it means when someone says 'a picture is worth a thousand words'. We touch upon what mental images are and what they mean for everyone and what Eva's biggest obstacles are as an upcoming photographer.
The biggest takeaway from my conversation with Eva was her perspective on facing upcoming challenges which she asks herself, "What's holding you back?". With the answer to this question, you can achieve anything you set your mind to.

This is Dylan (die-lin), an upcoming fashion model in the Netherlands with a plan to make it. Dylan is an advocate for eating healthy, ensuring enough rest, and making sure you are in a good mood. As he is taking modeling more seriously, Dylan is still a student studying his Master's in Earth Science in Utrecht, Netherlands.
In this episode, Dylan and I talk about how finding what you aspire to become is challenging, asking yourself how to get there. But inevitably all the unexpected events that happen along the way are just what you need to get there and inspire you to progress alongside Dylan and I talk about what it means to be a model and how important it is for Dylan.
The biggest takeaway from my conversation with Dylan is once you know what you want, be assertive in your actions, be the driver of your life, not the passenger, and don't give up, ask questions where and when you need it.
