For the past year and a half, illustrator Marijke van Veldhoven has been drawing comics about her life as a creative, capturing the feelings and the fears that we all experience.
This week Marijke launches a kickstarter campaign to share a collection of 100 of those comics in a book called Zoo You Mind?
We talk about how she got started as an artist, how receiving feedback from her audience gave her confidence to return to drawing comics, and what she learnt from asking for help.

My guest on this episode, Gina Morgano, is a radical romantic who believes in using her voice as an instrument of peace.
Gina teaches how to find your voice - both the external voice that has something it wants to sing and the internal voice which has something that it's longing to say. In this episode you'll hear some of Gina's story - how she came to be a performer and singing teacher with a love of learning and sharing other people's stories.

Dana Ray works with unboxable leaders to name their work, and tell the true story of what it is about. She is a writer, speaker and facilitator who works with leaders, artists and change-making organisations.
Dana and I talk about one of her earliest memories of using words to document and process her lived experience, the lesson she learned from a Bulgarian hairdresser, and how the process of uncovering your primary verb can help you do more of the work that you were born to do.

Art (and artists) need an audience. Your art won't put itself in front people who want to engage with it by accident. For your work to have more significant impact in the world, part of your creative practice — part of being ready — should include building an Audience by Design.

Growing up, neither Gail or Manu would have identified as an artist or creative, but over time, both of them began to listen to the quiet voice inside them that realised they had ideas and gifts worth sharing.
After getting to know each other during an online creative workshop earlier this year, they began looking for projects they could collaborate on.
One such project is The Gift of Shared Kindness, a product inspired by a creative Christmas gift Gail made for her father a few years ago. It’s a gift you can give to someone who doesn’t need more stuff in their life. Instead this is a gift that is designed to be re-gifted in a way that Gail and Manu will explain - the beauty here being that the more you give it away, the more valuable it becomes.
As a special bonus, this is the first episode of Studio Time that comes with a free recipe! You’ll find instructions on how to make Gail’s exceedingly satisfying snack mix in the show notes below.

Bec has been working as a professional communicator for 20 years. She established her PR credentials at Universal Music Australia, before founding the PR, corporate communications and crisis management agency The Comms Department, where she and her team work with some of Australia’s biggest and best-known media, entertainment, travel and lifestyle brands. Before training to become a PR professional, Bec had a successful career as a vocalist and vocal coach, and even before that, she was a great friend to my family and me.
Our careers took us off in different directions and we haven’t been in touch for a few years, this conversation is the first we’d shared in ages. I’m thrilled to see how Bec's career has flourished and I’m grateful for the knowledge and insight she shares from her own experience working with artists and brands known across Australia and throughout the world.

Shining Light has been working with correctional facilities for over 20 years, creating opportunities for artistic expression in prisons across the US and giving incarcerated men and women new ways to find their voices and have them heard.
Angelica and her colleagues usually do in person workshops with inmates, helping them create presentations that they then showcase to peers in their facility. The COVID 19 pandemic forced prisons to limit access to visitors and the regular workshops had to be cancelled, but Shining Light devised a way to continue to serve their artists and alumni on the inside and create a piece that they are able to share with the public for the first time.
Creations of a Caged Bird is the hour long presentation featuring work written and devised by inmates that has been performed and produced by artists like Angelica. It’s available on youtube and I’ve shared the link in the show notes. Creations of a Caged Bird is powerful and very moving and I wanted to learn more about it.

Jay created Unreal Collective which is a community of creators and he built Freelancing School to help you become your own boss. In his podcast Creative Elements, Jay talks to high-profile creators about the nitty gritty of building their creative careers.
In this conversation, Jay talks about the years he spent not believing he was creative and we talk about how he’s grown his business over the past four years—including when and how he thinks about outsourcing tasks, so he can focus on what he does best.
Jay shares his thoughts on building habits versus making commitments, getting intentional about what he wanted to achieve when he began the Creative Elements podcast, and reflects on how all the high profile guests he features on the show spent years in the trenches before they began to recognise the level of success they’re known for now.
Jay has a lot to share about building community, having built his own online community and advising other brands and businesses on how they establish successful communities of their own.
You can find Jay on twitter and instagram @jayclouse. If you enjoy this episode I’d love for you to reach out to Jay and tell him so.
