July 10, 2018 190 - How to Push Past the Hard Times w/ Adé Hogue
Today on the show, we have super special guest, Chicago based art director, designer and letterer Adé Hogue!!!
Adé has worked with a very impressive range of clients, from Nike to PayPal, and his journey is incredibly inspiring. There are nuggets of wisdom and lots of vulnerability in this episode and I’m sure it’s going to be a new fan favorite!
We talk through Adé’s journey, the secret to getting your best work, the blood-sweat-and-tears of freelance and how his engineering background sets him apart as a letterer.

July 03, 2018 189 - Finding Peak Creative Performance
Does planning make perfect? Or is it best to shoot from the hip? Should you meticulously obsess over the details or should you just let those creative juices flow???
In this episode I want to share a principle that has helped me strike a balance and tap into my own personal peak creative performance.
Your peak performance will be a different recipe than mine, but hopefully my process will help you find yours!!!
This episode comes from personal experience, studying best creative practices of others and theories around the neuroscience of creativity. Over the past few years I've tried to take all of these findings and turn them into actual practical applications.

June 27, 2018 188 - Why You're Off Track
Being a creative person is incredible... except when it's not.
To be a pro creative you've got to work hard and be a professional, but playing that part can sometimes lead to ignoring your needs and emotions.
There's a secret I know about most creative people. They can look all cool and collected and pro when they need to, but behind that cool facade there is often a volcano of emotions.
I know the truth about you... you're emo. You may not listen to My Chemical Romance (anymore) but you still struggle with nerves, insecurities, emotional exhaustion, self doubt, etc.
You can't just stuff all these feelings in the pursuit of being a professional, and here's why: this sensitivity isn't just a curse, it's your gift. This sensitivity to the human experience is one of your key superpowers!! In many ways, it's the secret to being a creative person! And that means you need to take care of it and even nurture it.
In this episode I want to share ideas and tactics that have helped me get into the right mental and emotional state to achieve what I think is my best creative work!

June 19, 2018 187 - How to Get More YOU into Your Art w/ Jon Burgerman
Would the people that know you best, see 'you' in the art that you make? The self discovery and artistic development required to pull this off can seem like an impossible mountain to climb, so I asked artist Jon Burgerman, how has he done it?
I don't know anyone who is as good as Jon at downloading their essence into their art and in this episode I chat with Jon about what the process of getting to this place looks like.
