Creative Pep Talk

Do you feel like your work is very you-ish?

How do you make creative work that really feels authentic?

What does that even mean!?

Today’s episode is a deep dive conversation and we cover a lot of topics around making authentic work.

We talk about: 

How to strip away the ego and throw off trying to be cool.

Why instagram being kind of over for artists might be a good thing.

Why doing your thing often starts with being part of something bigger than yourself.

Why art and collaboration is a fight and why that’s a good thing

And we touch a bit on ai and why it doesn't matter what it can and cannot do!

Some other ai thoughts I haven’t heard anywhere else!

This is a different type of episode, this time I am being interviewed, on the captain offscript podcast, and I had so much fun that I had to share it with all of you here! Hope you love it.
