 In this podcast episode, we discuss the concept of creative block, noting that while it is a familiar term, its experience can vary greatly among individuals. We reflect on personal experiences of creative blocks, describing how initial excitement about a project can fade when the final product doesn't match the envisioned outcome. This often leads to abandoning or postponing the project. The conversation delves into how the initial burst of creativity often drives the process, but achieving the same feeling at the end can be challenging. We propose that understanding and managing the expectations of these creative feelings might help navigate and overcome creative blocks, highlighting the importance of the journey rather than just the end product.

Welcome to The Creative Odyssey Podcast, where we dive deep into the creative process with unique perspectives, one being all the way from a tiny island in the middle of the Indian Ocean, and one, born and raised in the beautiful Buckeye State. But seriously, though, we're all about being raw and vulnerable about this gift of creativity we have.

 Hi, my name is Sheran, and I'm a creative who is passionate about creating with others. I'm into working, creating music, while telling stories one video at a time. 

 Hi, I'm Ben, and I'm a creative with a passion for creating and producing music, video editing and effects, and I also love carpentry and creating things out of wood and metal. 

You see, being a creative comes with a unique set of challenges. Challenges that we all go through, that we want to talk about, walk through with you, and understand at a deeper level. And most importantly, we want to create a space where you feel like you belong. All while not taking ourselves too seriously and having a lot of fun along the way. If you're a fellow creative and dying for some inspiration, you need to come hang out with us. It's going to be a good time
