Unthinkable with Jay Acunzo

It's time to talk about imposter syndrome, mushrooms, and reframing how we view our work so we can get to the next rep in our process, both consistently and better. It's another short One-Shot episode!

It's time to revisit an old story, one that may not age well but reminds us of our role as creative professionals in bringing people together.

It's time for another short. In this one-shot, let's talk about the BS that stands in the way of seeing ourselves as creators (and by extension, seeing the world around us) more clearly, which in turn affects the work.

What do prolific, thriving creative people have in common that the rest of us don't? It's hard to pinpoint any one thing, of course, but this trait might be close.

A special bonus episode: a cross-post of my appearance on Jay Clouse's podcast, Creative Elements. It's the greatest interview/production combo of any public appearance of mine, and I share stories I'd long forgotten thanks to Jay's interview prowess.

We can't make what matters without facing some resistance -- from our peers, our bosses, our clients, our audience ... even ourselves. In this story, re-thinking how we handle conflict and meet resistance when the object is to create more meaningful work.

In another one-shot episode, we talk about how to evolve as a storyteller in your career across three distinct phases.

A moving mystery story about connection, creativity, and family. This one sticks with you.

How to make your creative process more fluid and your output more prolific.
