Create Loud

Oof... What a crazy time, right?

Well, we've got a brand new episode of Create Loud for you to check out while we're all quarantined.

We love having guests on the show here at Create Loud, but we especially love when we get to interview a local! It's even more fun for us when we get to interview a local that we happened to attend college with! (Looking at you, Cody.)

Speaking of which, this week's episode includes our chat with the wonderful, amazingly talented Angie Petty. It is a must-listen! (You know what else is a must-listen? Her new single, "Something Special")

Angie is a singer, songwriter, and performer based in Salt Lake City, Utah. Her style includes pop, jazz, and R&B/Soul. Her music spans topics of love, emotional baggage, and everything in between.

OH MY HECK, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

We wouldn't be surprised if *this* auld acquaintance be forgot... we know it's been a hot minute.

BUT HEY - we're kicking off 2020 with our OFFICIAL RELAUNCH of the Create Loud Podcast!

[crowd goes wild]

If you're not confused, we still recommend giving this episode a listen...for auld lang syne.

OHHH DO WE HAVE A TREAT FOR YOU, FOLKS

In our newest episode, we got to interview the coolest person in the Beehive State: Krissie Freaking Holifield

(Pretty sure that's her actual middle name)

Krissie is one of the hosts and designer of the I am Salt Lake podcast. After moving from Wisconsin and dabbling in stand up comedy, she joined forces with Chris Holifield to showcase the inspiring people in Salt Lake City. She lives in Salt Lake City with her hubby, Chris, and their daughter Lucy.

If you know what's good for you (or...even if you don't?), you'll give this episode a listen.

BUT FOR REAL PLEASE ENJOY BECAUSE WE SERIOUSLY LOVED THIS INTERVIEW AND WE KNOW YOU WILL TOO!

LISTENER'S NOTE: We just wanted to give you a heads-up that we censored some of the audio. Cool? Cool.

Are you ready for this? I don't think you're ready for this.

PREPARED TO BE RIDICULOUSLY INSPIRED.

"Stephanie Hock grew up in Murray, Utah. She loved watching her mother draw and was fascinated that she could draw anything. When Stephanie was thirteen, she watched her mom work hard to finish her bachelor’s degree in fine art (while pregnant with her seventh child). Her love of art and motivation to reach for her dreams inspired Stephanie to do the same. She graduated from Utah State University with a bachelors in Visual Art, but struggled to find her rhythm as a painter. Two years after graduation (and less fulfilling office jobs), Stephanie met her husband who gave her three tubes of paint as a wedding present. He encouraged her to find her artistic voice, and through workshops and artist mentors, she finally did. Stephanie is thrilled to be living the life she always dreamed—being a professional artist and being a mother. She can’t imagine how it gets any better. She and her husband live in Murray, Utah with their twin girls and two sons. When she’s not busy painting or mothering, she enjoys pursuing her other loves of photography, writing and reading."

WE ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZED BY STEPHANIE AND ARE *SO STOKED* THAT WE GOT TO INTERVIEW HER

Got any suggestions? Any idea who we should interview next? We want to hear from you! Send us a message on Facebook or send us an email at [email protected]. Find us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter or visit createloud.org.

In the creative world, there's something that most of us are afraid of:

BURNING OUT

The thought of losing that spark can be terrifying! What's sad is that it happens to professional creatives all the time. Following our dreams takes a lot out of us! It's not all sunshine, rainbows, and unicorns (but we appreciate when it is lol am I right?)

Whether you're on your way back from a burnout (or on the brink of one) Cody and Rachel want to help! In this episode, we talk about a lot of ways you can avoid a burnout and why its important to make sure you take care of yourself first.

And hey...it's all going to be okay :)

When it comes to your craft, should you focus and specialize in one skill?

OR should you have an infinity gauntlet and, like, try to collect ALL the stones?

If ya know what I mean...

In this week's episode, Cody and Rachel talk about just that. Wearing the hats, trading all the jacks (that's a phrase, right?). We're talking about all the awesome talents you have and what the heck to even do with them. Don't miss it!

Who do you think would win in a fight: Keanu Reeves or Ludacris? Let us know by sending us a message on Facebook or sending us an email at [email protected]. Find us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter or visit createloud.org.
