Austin Kleon is a phenomenally successful author. His books, Steal Like an Artist, Show Your Work, Keep Going, and now, Don't Call It Art, have sold in obscene numbers for a great reason: he brings immense value to the lives of people who wish to create something true to them.

For the 300th episode of The Creative Condition podcast, we're getting into everything that matters in this current, overwhelming moment, and the good news is, it's all very joyful!

Austin likes analog, and we talk about parenting, creativity, learning from four-year-olds, creating before we have an idea to get an idea, and so much more, including common mistakes even the greats make.

Even the calmest of minds is being tested in these times. Drawing upon my inner work during a period of anxiety, stress and at times, despair I've compiled a list to serve as a possible sanity toolkit!

Tina Rapp works with creatives, founders, and visionaries who appear successful on the outside yet feel disconnected from themselves in their creative and professional lives. Her work sits at the intersection of art, psychology, and spirituality, helping people untangle the performance patterns, expectations, and identities that once drove their success but no longer reflect who they truly are, so they can lead from a grounded, embodied sense of direction and authenticity.

She joins me to discuss the importance of feeling over theory when seeking growth, change, and flowing creativity.

We default to tools, to software, to digital prisons before we've considered how best to play, to serve the idea.

A reflection on analogue's role in the information age.

Here's a little tool I've begun helping my creativity coaching clients with. 'Your Universe' can bring a vital lift in lethargic, low, or pensive moments. Here's how it works.

It's all, always unfolding. As we change and grow, so must our creativity. Otherwise, that way lies discontent, frustration, and diminishing returns.
