Publisher's summary

You have a unique destiny, an unquenchable dream inside you that’s waiting for you to take action. Maybe you are an artist.

But chances are you’ve been told that you’ll starve on the streets if you pursue your art. That’s what Elli Milan was told, too.

Unemployable: The Odyssey of an Artist is the inspiring journey of contemporary powerhouse artist, Elli Milan, deciding to pursue her destiny. Step into her story of overcoming family expectations, shattering the “starving artist” myth, and achieving her dream of becoming a professional artist.

Described as rebellious and hopelessly romantic at the same time, Greek-American artist Elli Milan draws you into her vivid personal history, told through the lens of a unique cultural experience. A voyage filled to the brim with Grecian mythos, you’ll be inspired as she conquers her Cyclops, dances with the Fates, and forges on to create her destined Promised Land for artists, all with her family beside her.

Become inspired as you follow this refreshingly honest dreamer and her family through seemingly impossible adventures, setbacks, and victories. Embark with Elli as she maneuvers through the dark underbelly of the art industry, the economic crash of 2008, and watching her world literally burn before her eyes, and you’ll find the courage to grab hold of your own passion and conquer your dreams.

Unemployable is for any dreamer who was ever told not to fly too close to the sun, and dares to anyway.

Need to be a movie

I would love to see this book made into a movie and carried on further into Hell. They built the master program in Institute. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this story of Elli Milan and her family. Thank you for sharing.

Fantastic!

If you’re looking to be inspired in your life journey you’ve come to the right place. Elli Milan gives a transparent view behind her current success as wife, mother, artist and teacher. I painted along as she narrated and quickly found myself lost in her unpredictable story. Get ready to fall in love with Elli and John Milan. Highly recommended!

Awesome listen!

I really enjoyed learning more about Elli's own journey as an artist and I'm so glad she narrated it herself. It's written with insight from actual personal experience, authenticity and such inspiration.

Authentic Honest Inspiring

Ellie’s honest struggle with her true pain and fears and her journey toward the vision God gave to her has deeply touched me in the midst of my own searching. I am at a crossroads where uncertainty could leave me paralyzed with insecurity and fear. Ellie’s story reminds me of God’s deep care and call in my life.

Story of staying true to your artistic destiny

Lovely story about family, love, staying true to your calling and the ups and downs of life as a family of artists.

Incredible!!! Everything I needed!

I was hooked from the very beginning! This book has made me feel seen and understood! There were a few times I had to stop listening and go cry my eyes out lol. This has given me a much needed push to find the fire again. It’s like Elli stretched her arms out, hugged me and said, “you’ve got this!” I love this book! Thank you Elli Milan! Your story is beautiful! Thank you for taking us on your journey! Thank you for partnering with God!

Heartfelt amazing Artist love story.

I read this book when it was just released and thought it was really good but hearing Elli read it and to hear her Dad’s Greek accent I fell more in love with the story. The story of her passion, her true love, God’s plan for her and there family but most of all what really made me cry with happiness was the end of chapter 16. This family is amazing and this book is just a glimpse of the greatness they have to offer. I highly recommend this book and the Mastery program.

Never Giving up on Your Dreams

Many relatable circumstances and still never giving up. Knowing you have a purpose for this life and a way to share it through beauty and passion. Yes, now is the time to create creation culture and change the world. I loved Elli's story.

Enjoyable As Well As Educational

I had seen Elli on the internet and had started the Mastery Program at Milan Art Institute when I heard about this book and bought it through Audible. Her face and her voice were already familiar so I could imagine us sitting together as she told me her story. She is very vulnerable in this book as she tells her real life story with all the ups and downs, mistakes made and learned from, both about her amazing career and her family life. Really well written and very enjoyable. I know it's a good one when I can't stop listening, even breaking out the earbuds so I can get on with my day without stopping! Elli and I spent a good couple of days together! ;-)

A Story Of Passion and Heritage

I loved hearing her thoughts and feelings on this ongoing journey! she is a fabulous human being, storyteller, and artist! I hope to hear more in the future!!
