Episode Notes

We talk about how self-sabotage often signals a stagnant mind—and how movement, both mental and physical, can reawaken creativity. Dr. Albert Bramante explains how language models shape perception, how responsibility differs from blame, and why true artistry thrives on intrinsic value rather than external validation.

Drawing on his experience as a performance psychologist and talent agent, Dr. Bramante explores the pressures of the entertainment industry, where artists often chase admiration in saturated markets. He offers grounded tools for transforming obstacles into opportunities, developing routines that support creative flow, and understanding the psychology behind sustainable artistic practice.
