November 18, 2020 297 - Why Creatives are Struggling and Where to Refocus Your Energy with William Deresiewicz
“There’s never been a better time to be a creative person!”
You’ve heard this before, but is it true? Is it your experience?
Best Selling author William Deresiewicz decided to try and answer this question by interviewing hundreds of artists (spoiler: I was one of them!) and diving deep into research. All of his remarkable findings are in his new book “The Death of the Artist: How Creators Are Struggling to Survive in the Age of Billionaires and Big Tech”.
In this episode we dive deep into this work and tease out the pitfalls to watch out for, as well as areas where it’s smart to invest yourself as a modern creative.
This book and this interview is a gift to creatives and I hope you find it as cathartic and validating as I did.

November 11, 2020 296 - The 4 Step Process to Making Creative Work That Resonates Deeper
How could an archer improve their form if they never saw where their arrows hit the target?
I spent the start of my career like an archer with a blindfold, afraid to look and see if I’d hit a bullseye, or even missed the target completely.
I would try anything I could to avoid getting feedback on my creative work, but these days, finding the right kind of feedback is the LIFEBLOOD of my practice.
What changed? I saw that having a robust relationship to feedback was the key to unlocking transcendent creative work and that started to mean more to me that protecting my vulnerabilities.
In this episode I want to share a 4 step process for building feedback into your practice in a way that will help your creative work resonate on a much deeper level.

October 21, 2020 293 - How to Get Deeply Inspired from Super Surprising Sources with Yao Cheng
If you want your creative work to be super unique, you need to have super unique inspiration. Today on the show I chat with Watercolor Artist Yao Cheng and she embodies this principle in ways I’ve never seen!
When you think of watercolor art, whatever images spring to mind are not what you see in Yao’s portfolio!! Why? Because there aren't many, if any, watercolor artists who are pulling their inspiration from quantum mechanics!
This episode is a goodie bag of creative inspiration and a masterclass on how to approach getting inspired in a completely new and profound way. I left this conversation buzzing with motivation and curiosity… and you will too!
Yao Cheng is an artist on the roster of our artist management agency Co-Loop. Find Out More at Co-Loop.co
