March 05, 2019 221 - How Personal Life Experience Leads to Deeply Authentic Work w/ Suzy Ultman PART 2
PART 2 of my conversation with my friend Suzy Ultman!
THIS IS THE PART WHERE we go DEEP into Suzy's life story as she graciously shares her experiences with having a sibling with terminal cancer, moving through a divorce and finding a self worth fighting for. We also talk about how these formative life experiences translate to new depths in your creative work.
This conversation was deeply transformative for me as a person and artist and I know it will be the same for you!
Some topics covered in this episode:
- EXCERCISE
- ADHD / ASPERGERS
- LEFT BRAIN VS RIGHT BRAIN
- Moving through bad news
- Moving through close ones dealing with cancer
- Working through divorce
- Making deeply authentic work
THANK YOU SUZY FOR SUCH A LOVELY WARM CONVERSATION AND THE GIFT OF SHARING YOUR STORY WITH US!

February 26, 2019 220 - 6 Tactics to Routinely Unlock Your Best Creative Self w/ Suzy Ultman PART 1
This two part conversation with my friend Suzy Ultman is sure to go down as one of our all time favorites in the Creative Pep Talk Podcast Hall of Fame!
It's no secret that I've been stressed out as of late, and that's part of the reason I reached out to my friend Suzy to be on the show. Suzy has this peaceful / intentional quality about her, and I invited over to the studio to share her mental health secrets with us!
Not only is Suzy just a great person to be around, she has the double whammy of being an INCREDIBLY INSPIRING illustrator, story teller & product designer. Suzy's toys and books are so gorgeous that my wife and I have sprinkled them throughout our home and given them as gifts to our kids (and our kid's friends) on many occasions!
In this episode we have a long conversation about Suzy's methods for staying sane as an artist, her sister's passing from cancer, the right mindset to approach inspiration and much much more!

February 19, 2019 219 - The 3 Journeys to Creative Transcendence & How to Know Which You're Stuck On
Do you feel like you haven't quite hit that level that you've been searching for in your creative career?
Maybe you know you haven't quite made it where you want to go, but you're not really sure where you're stuck?
In this episode, we discuss the 3 journey's every creative person much travel to get to the place we all want to go: CREATIVE TRANSCENDENCE!
What is creative transcendence? Well, you know it when you see it. It's that inflection point that happens when an artist is making truly AUTHENTIC WORK that DEEPLY RESONATES with an audience. It's what we all want right??
Well, if you study those who've found this creative promised land, you'll discover what I did: getting to this place isn't random, it's not magic, it's not luck... there's a pattern and this pattern is THE 3 JOURNEYS.
Listen today to figure out which of these journey's you're stuck on and how to get unstuck by doing the right type of work!

February 13, 2019 218 - Want More Followers? Ask Yourself This
The episode is CREATIVE REAL TALK. No music. No frills. One take.
In this episode I share my current struggles, the lessons I'm learning right now in real time, and why I've been doing some unprecedented (for me) levels of soul searching in my life over the past 3 months.
This is a very vulnerable / real / authentic episode. I hope it's a welcome brief change of pace that encourages and comforts you!
We talk about:
- The question to ask yourself if you want more followers
- Why you're not able to be authentic in your work
- Your role in the hero's journey as an artist
- Dealing with nagging put downs from the past or present
