Being a performer can a lot of the times feel similar to being like an athlete in the same way of how looking after oneself is critical to performing at the highest level. Inspired by the Joe Rogan podcast episode with Travis Barker (Blink 182), we talk about the things that we do to look after ourselves and the actions we take to ensure that we can perform at our best when on stage.

Simple vs technical, a topic that has been debated between musicians over which is more important. In this episode, we talk about our take on the topic and how maybe it's not a matter of just simple vs technical but rather there is a much important variable that makes a song great. 

A very common thing that we all think about is the comparison of our current self vs where we want to be. Today on this episode, we talk about how certain things we had done in the past would later help shape us into the creatives we are today and how we can start implementing small things that will ultimately help us get closer to our desired future self.

Often as creatives, there's always this battle of creating things that we are excited about vs what is popular or what people expect from us based on our previous work. Today on the podcast, we discuss our take on this struggle and whether or not there is a happy medium.

In this episode, we talk about how we're always trying to be creative and reflect on the question of "Do we create, just because we are afraid of the  silence of doing nothing?" 

Continuing from a previous episode on dealing with the inner critique, we as creatives have to also deal with the outer critique. This can range from friends, family, fans, haters, strangers etc. In this episode, we talk about how to respond to outer criticism.

"What happens when you're stuck on an idea and you're not sure how to fully develop it?" We talk about when to persist with an idea and when its time to leave it on the back burner.

Whether completing a school art project or writing your first song, everyone has to deal with an inner critic. On the podcast, we talk about how we deal with our inner critic and some strategies that you can implement.

Whether we realise it or not, we all believe that the more we spend on gear, the better we will be. In this episode, we talk about why that's not always the case and how it's important to focus on making great art instead.
