Quick Win: Ben Shewry’s secret to staying creative with a busy schedule


Listen Later

The big catch with a creative business is that the more successful you get, the more your creative endeavour can feel like a chore instead of a passion. But what if there was one thing you could do to ensure the passion stays?

Ben Shewry is head chef and owner of multi-award winning Melbourne restaurant, Attica. Attica has been featured several times in the The World's 50 Best Restaurants and has been named the Best Restaurant in Australia. He is also the author of bestseller Uses for Obsession, a memoir about Ben’s experiences in hospitality.

With all of this success and all these projects, Ben has definitely found more demands on his time, and yet he still manages to keep that joy and passion with his creative work.

Ben shares:

  • 🎭 Why becoming successful could make it harder to do your creative passion
  • 🔥 A simple way you can ensure the passion stays with your creative projects
  • 🎶 How to use music to help your creative process
