Do you compare yourself to other artists? Do you find yourself playing small because you think other people are “better”? Amie and James talk about how they approach comparison and how to use comparison to enhance your creative journey.

Amie and James talk about the importance of having a growth mindset as a creative. You are not stuck where you are now! You can grow and learn. Stop thinking about where your skill and craft are right now; start thinking about how you can grow.

This is also a good one for anyone who thinks they aren’t creative. We talk about why this isn’t true!

Our wonderful friend, writer and creative Aubrey Tate, joins us to talk all things Social Media. We look at questions like: Is it necessary for artists to have a social media presence? Should we quit social media? Are there upsides to being on socials?

It’s a wide ranging conversation that touches on business, mental health, and creativity.

A bit about Aubrey in her own words: My name is Aubrey. I’m currently based in the Portland, OR metro area. I am a writer of fiction and non-fiction, maker of things, deep thinker, and advocate for self love and mental health. I am on a mission to create a life of my own crafting and make art that speaks to my soul, while encouraging other artists to do what calls them (not what they are told).

NANOWRIMO is coming up in a couple of days. Amie and James are both taking part (with caveats). They share their tips for participating in a creative sprint and how to avoid some of the pitfalls involved.

Is creative success purely dependent on luck? It’s not an easy question to answer. Like everything in life, luck plays a part. In a sense, it’s luck that you’re reading this podcast description right now.

But we are living in an exciting time where there are more opportunities for artists than ever before. The internet makes Renaissance Florence look like a backwater.

In this episode, Amie and James discuss the delicate balance between luck and making our own opportunities.
