Sweetspot Podcast with Gallerist Johann König
In this episode, Marc Suess talks to Johann König about his entrepreneurial journey as a gallerist, his start-up misa.art, NFTs, and how artists inspired him.
This week, Marc Suess welcomes Johann König to the Sweetspot Podcast, a real “pop star among gallery owners”. Johann not only runs multiple art galleries around the globe, he recently founded a digital art platform called misa.art. He has built an outstanding brand for the König Galleries and himself. From his podcast and his autobiography to his 10 a.m. Instagram series, Johann’s mission is to open the art world to a wider audience.
In this podcast, he talks to Marc about his career, his daily work, and his leap into founding an online art platform, which he approaches like a startup. When it comes to his entrepreneurial journey, Johann tells how artists had a big influence on him as they are “ultra-entrepreneurs” in the way they believe in their work and handle criticism.
This is a great episode for all founders, creative entrepreneurs, and art lovers out there.
