Waiting until you've figured it all out is a surefire way to fall behind.

The world is moving faster. Society is adapting to celebrate the people who are willing to share their imperfections. Social media platforms are changing their parameters to reflect those behaviors.

In this episode, we discuss the shift that has been challenging us to learn as we go.

Learn, Learn, Learn, Do, is out.

We aren't always the most hip, but Learn, Do, Learn, Do, is a trend we are ready to support.

At one time or another, we've all had these sparks of motivation that propel us in our creative endeavors, helping us to realize a dream or ambition.

But what about those moments when the sparks don't come? When it feels like we may never finish the project.

We've both dealt with this feeling before and felt we owed it an episode. What we realized might just help you too, if you've been feeling stuck of late.

For creative people, today's world offers countless opportunities to showcase our talents. Creative has never been more in demand.

But there's a problem.

Workplaces can recognize the importance of creativity but have no idea how to foster a creative culture. In fact, sometimes workplaces are the antithesis of the kind of culture creative professionals need in order to spread their wings.

In this episode, we break down what that culture looks like and how companies can better-align team members to inspire greater creativity.

You never know what you're going to walk into when you open up your social media feed.

Who did what now? What's canceled? And how was your last post so wildly misconstrued?

Such was the case for Elle Hunt, a journalist who sent a seemingly harmless tweet that led to an internet explosion, thanks to a bump from Twitter's Trending Topics feature.

In this episode we explore healthier ways to engage in online discussions and build meaningful relationships.

You know that one trend the internet can't stop talking about? The one you absolutely hate? You know the thing. Well, we did an episode on that.

Tastes are anything but universal, and despite what seems like a reality where everyone cares about this one thing, there are plenty of people who don't. A confident people who choose to go a different way, because they can. This episode is for those people.

And maybe even some of you trendy people might dig it too.

Nobody is buying what you're selling. They are buying the idea that life will be better by being a part of your brand.

Algorithm-driven feeds like Netflix, Hulu, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and many others exist to deliver content that will keep us hooked. Our thumb hovers and scrolls, hovers and scrolls, and the beat goes on. And while this addictive approach has become accepted, it's fair to ask the question: Is this the best possible digital experience for us as users?

What if the concept of "the feed" didn't exist? What could take its place to promote a healthier digital environment? And what can we learn from Twitter's recent Super Follows announcement?

It's in our human nature to make decisions based on the opinions of others. But when voices become too loud, we run the risk of losing our identity and our ability to think for ourselves.
