Vibrant Visionaries

Earwolf Podcast Producer Kevin Bartelt takes us behind the scenes at one of my favorite networks – Eaaaaarwooooolf!

Kevin shares his journey through the ranks. From surviving Matt Besser’s on-mic “hot seat” intern interview, becoming a producer and on-mic personality for Hollywood Handbook & Who Charted, and culminating in the debut of his new podcast Maybe Don’t with fellow producer Yusong Liu.

This episode marks my 1 year anniversary of producing Vibrant Visionaries! All my Patreon Patrons from $3 Pod Pal and UP can expect a limited edition sticker in the mail soon. Join my Patreon HERE for limited edition stickers and more!

Compassionate Creative Molly Bailen joins me for a “Very Special Episode” of Vibrant Visionaries in response to a popular essay on Buzzfeed titled How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation by Anne Helen Petersen.

We felt it was important to not only discuss the subject of burnout (especially how it effects Mutli-Creatives) but to share every free and easy self care idea we could think of through-out the episode so that you could activate self kindness and compassion while listening and come away with lots of ideas to try for yourself!

Molly and I have both been studying, practicing and teaching mindfulness and compassion techniques for many years and on the podcast we demystify these concepts so that you understand them quickly, start feeling less burned out now and are better able to recognize and prevent burnout in the future.

Share your self care / self kindness ideas by using #BurnoutBusters on social media and don’t forget to tag me on twitter @VibrantVisCast and Instagram @VibrantVisionaries

Let’s keep the conversation going so we can learn from each other, support each other and strengthen our compassionate creative community!
