May 29, 2018 184 - Challenge Everything!!
What do you do when something's broken? You take it apart.
I think we all have a deep sense that EVERYTHING is broken right now and because of that we are deconstructing EVERYTHING!!
For this reason, this year's 99u conference theme of "Challenging Everything" felt VERY APPROPRIATE to me.
In this episode I want to share the breakthroughs I had while at 99u this past month and how they've impacted my outlook in my day to day creative career and my big picture perspective as a person.
In this episode we will talk about the power of writing your own rules, how admitting you don't know everything is the first step of breaking new ground and unlock the secrets of the cosmos!!! haha... not really... but kinda ;)
...
This week's show is a very special edition of Creative Pep Talk because it was made in partnership with Adobe! They brought me out to their 99u Conference in NYC and this episode is all about what I learned while I was there.

Anyone can deal with the good times, but it's how we deal with the hard times that defines our creative careers.
In this episode I want to share tools for getting back up when the chips are down and you're feeling crushed.
I've been dealing with some burnout and struggle and I hope these ideas are as energizing for you as they have been for me!!
Even if you already feel good today, I hope this episode takes you from good to great!!

May 08, 2018 182 - Why You've Got to Get in the Game!!!
Do you ever feel like you're hiding behind the subjectivity of art? Like the fact that creativity is subjective, means no one can tell you you're bad or good. Right?
I would say: wrong! Take the very creative world of food for example. Like what's good food and bad food might be up for debate to a degree, but ultimately undercooked poultry can objectively kill you! That is undoubtedly "bad food".
I believe that in the world of professional creativity, value is more objective than you think and in this episode I explain why this is great news! We also talk about a practice that will help you become objectively better at what you do.
