Creative Confidants - Exploring and Encouraging the Origins of Creativity

And by "vault", I mean earlier this year. And really only 4 months ago.

I have no idea what we talk about in this one, but if I had to venture a guess, it would include "creativity", "rock n' roll" and "Paul Hogan."

Oh hi!

Yeah, we still do this. We recorded this episode in May of 2019 and haven't really listened back to it. So let's all discover its contents together! Like Al Pacino's glove box! Wait, that can't be right...

In his classic song, Tom Petty utters two identical phrases with completely opposing meanings. "The future was wide open" holds as much hope as it does despair. So how do we approach it as creative beings?

"I've got a business idea that no one has ever done before! I've got a song that sounds like nothing you've ever heard! I'm writing a book on the back of my hand!"

Good luck!

Don't overthink it and definitely make sure your audience doesn't have to.

What do you say about Rocketman? Not enough, that's for sure. So we didn't try too hard. We probably could have tried harder. But we think you'll get the gist of our admiration and fascination with the most unlikely rockstar of all time.

What can Millennials learn from Gen X? Baby Boomers? Are they even listening? As they discover certain areas of expertise they can't simply download, it turns out they are.

We did a lot in 2018. And we documented most of it on our podcast. Here's a fun little recap of where our creative paths took us and where we see them going.

Is everyone getting successful without you? Probably not. Have others experienced the kind of success you'd like for yourself? Well...yeah...and you owe them a debt of gratitude for showing you the way (or really, one of the thousands of ways) to your own success.

We talk about the lovely article by Ann Dowd as it was published in Glamour magazine. She gives some powerful insight into graceful approach to a success she knew was coming, albeit not for a long, long time. 

Also, I accidentally deleted last week's episode. So ignore the references to it. -Mick

We didn't mean to do this. But we ended up with a dense episode of good things to remember in your creative pursuits. So maybe it's just what we needed instead of what we planned.

To sum up: Creativity comes to those who do.
