Is Social Media Driving you crazy?

Do you feel like your creative practice is off balance?

Do you need to rethink your creative strategy or embrace strategic thinking for the first time?

If any of those ring true, this episode is for you!

This episode is me being interviewed by Amelia Hruby on her podcast Off the Grid

Off the Grid is for creatives trying to succeed without social media - and I had such a blast and we talked about so many interesting things I decided to share it here!

We talk about my income streams, what having creative strategy looks like, why bad projects are necessary, and what you need if you’re trying to shift some of your creative strategy off social media.

Do you feel like your work is very you-ish?

How do you make creative work that really feels authentic?

What does that even mean!?

Today’s episode is a deep dive conversation and we cover a lot of topics around making authentic work.

We talk about: 

How to strip away the ego and throw off trying to be cool.

Why instagram being kind of over for artists might be a good thing.

Why doing your thing often starts with being part of something bigger than yourself.

Why art and collaboration is a fight and why that’s a good thing

And we touch a bit on ai and why it doesn't matter what it can and cannot do!

Some other ai thoughts I haven’t heard anywhere else!

This is a different type of episode, this time I am being interviewed, on the captain offscript podcast, and I had so much fun that I had to share it with all of you here! Hope you love it.

Most creative people don’t need help being creative. 

You have the ideas. Where you trip up is the executive dysfunction. It’s getting yourself to start, middle, and finish the thing strong. 

In this episode I want to share with you the number 1 things that’s helped me, a creative with MEGA ADHD, transform ideas into 10+ books, projects that lead to work with X-Box, Apple and Nickelodeon and more.

Stick around until the end for our “Creative Call to Adventure” it’s called “Out Block” and it will help you turn your current creative block into a starting block today!
