botanical studies of internet magic

11. the joy of missing out on platforms


Listen Later

this episode is about my approach to cultivating a creative and business life outside of all social/content platforms (including Substack and Youtube) -- and feeling excited about it. this is not a critique of platforms so much as a portrait of alternative possibilities: we’ll explore:

  • why platforms are like cruise boats - seemingly “easy” and “effortless” by promising all the amenities you’d ever need (while keeping you locked in).
  • alternatives frameworks and approaches to (1) building community (2) being discovered (3) “monetization” (4) content creation/distribution
  • why embrace making art alone; why being hard to find is not a bad thing
  • the power of embodying your individual essence — centering in your creative process outside of the validation loop of platforms
