May 07, 2019 230 - The Number 1 Most Essential Tactic I Used to Build My Creative Career
Don't you just love that moment the trailer drops for a sequel you've been dying to see?
That huge secret drop moment is so sexy we all fantasize about replicating this moment in our own creative work.
But the problem is if no one cared about your 'first film' no one's gonna be stoked about your super top secret trailer for movie 2 when you drop it.
So...
If an album drops on the internet and no one's there to hear it, does it make a sound?
NO. It doesn't.
That's why you need to quit sitting on your creative ideas.
Perfecting that piece in the dark isn't going to make that album or book drop more successful if no one is watching.
In this episode I want to detail a process where you create at the same time you're learning and at the same time you're marketing and gaining attention for your work.

April 30, 2019 229 - The 6 Step Process to Unlock Powerful Creative Business Momentum
What makes a good musician, writer or illustrator?
We’re told that it’s practice. Put in the time and you’ll become a master. But how many technically-masterful creative hometown heroes do you know that never even got close to making it?
Yes. They can shred the guitar like Hendrix. They can draw photorealistic portraits. They can write with perfect grammar and command a vast vocabulary.
They’ve put in their 10,000 hours...
And technically their craft is perfect...
But the art isn’t “good”.
So if it’s not about practice, passion, talent or skill, what’s the real foundation of great creative work? What’s it actually all about?
I believe the secret is hiding in plain sight, right under your nose and quite literally at the tip of your tongue but if you don’t know where to look for it you’ll never find it!
In this episode I want to share the idea that completely reinvented how I see creative work and my own creative super powers, and how I used this idea to develop a 6 Step process for unlocking your true creative business potential.

April 17, 2019 227 - You'll Never Make Your Best Work While Believing This Lie
The mindset you approach your creative work with determines so much of the outcome, so it's super important that you have a healthy approach to your creativity.
Hollywood hasn't helped much on this front. There are hundreds of movies that perpetuate unhelpful creative stereotypes.
In this episode I want to address one of the most toxic creative myths plaguing creatives today. My hope is that this will help you establish a new perspective that will unleash your best creative work to date!!
