Release the Kreative

Have you ever gotten a tattoo or shopped at Montgomery Ward? It turns out whatever you do, someone is forming an opinion about it. Does it matter? Let’s talk about your personal brand and what it means to you.

The internet is out of control! Facebook is fighting Apple. Apps are free but take away your privacy. And Kirk just can’t stand the Apple Watch. We talk about all of this plus discover it’s pretty hard to say ‘Game Stop stock’ multiple times in a row.

Everything has changed. So you threw the rulebook away. But now we’re adrift. So what do we do? It turns out there’s still two guiding stars on the horizon. Two questions that haven’t changed and will help you rebuild. Listen as Jeff & Kirk explore your path forward for the coming year.

Explaining why humans do anything is always a challenge, but it’s extra challenging when it comes to pageantry. This week we ask why our new president has to stand out in the cold, what makes Disneyland a little bit special, and why we’re wearing makeup for a podcast. Learn how pageantry can be more than just fancy clothes; it can also give weight to your message.

Show notes:

Stereotypes are shortcuts. We all try to avoid them in our real life, but they can be a useful tool when it comes to storytelling. Kirk and Jeff explore some common tropes and why you shouldn’t dismiss them out of hand.

“Donald Trump is a genius.” Yeah, we said it. It turns out there’s at least one good thing we can learn from this whole mess, and this week we’re going to extract it, examine it, and explain how you can use it.

Are we on the same page here? What’s your North Star? Do you even have one yet? How are you going to tell everyone else what it is if you haven’t figured it out for yourself yet? Join us while Kirk and Jeff talk about getting on the same track and making a plan. The perfect activity for a new year.

Over the last 20 years we have seen an unbelievable increase in not just the amount of content being produced, but also the channels available to produce them for and most significantly the texture and style of popular content. 

The lather rinse repeat formula or the now all but defunct studio/ television system is dead or dying in most channels. Making headway for a new type “authentic” and vulnerable content.
