In this insightful conversation,  multimedia artist Michaell Magrutsche, explores the deep connection between creativity, self-expression, and podcasting.

Michaell shares his journey as a neurodiverse artist who found refuge in creativity, explaining that art is more about the process than the final product. For podcasters, this means focusing on the joy and fulfillment of creating content rather than worrying about external judgments.

Notable Points for Podcasters:

1. Art is a Process, Not a Product: Michael emphasizes that the creative process, whether in art or podcasting, is more important than the final product. Podcasters should focus on the joy and fulfillment of creating their show rather than how it will be judged by others.
2. Creativity is Universal: He mentions that humans are inherently creative and that podcasting is a form of self-expression. Aspiring podcasters should embrace their individuality and avoid comparing themselves to others.
3. Avoid External Pressures: Michael encourages podcasters to produce content when they feel ready, rather than adhering to rigid schedules or external pressures for consistency, allowing the content to remain authentic.
4. Podcasting as a Human-Centric Medium: Podcasting is a unique space where humans connect through dialogue. It’s more about sharing and contributing than strictly following rules.
5. Embrace Your Unique Perspective: Michael stresses that there is no right or wrong in creation, encouraging podcasters to stay true to their message and perspective, no matter the feedback.

Michaell Magrutsche (mag-rootsh) is a neurodiverse multidisciplinary artist, strategist (private, corporate and political) Creativity-Awareness Educator.
