It is impossible to Fail at a Creative endeavor
February 28, 2024 13:00 - 6 minutes - 4.53 MBCreate like you’re going to fail. Not because we want you to, but because it gets you started. Achieving goals is fun for a few weeks, but the real win is who you become in order to achieve those goals. The Beatles were just white guys attempting to do Motown. They failed to hit their original target, but what we got as a result was a unique sound that hadn’t been produced before. By attempting to replicate their own version of something successful, they created an original take on an exi...

Creative Agile Methodology - to develop your creative projects
January 31, 2024 13:00 - 7 minutes - 5.37 MBIn this episode we discuss creative agile. A collaborative way to se a project from start to finish. I used agile methodology while working in the software world. Instead of building and testing an entire project, it’s split into small iterations. The stakeholders, and the development teams take a collaborative approach, sharing ideas to build the system piece by piece. Setting time constraints on the project, but split it up into small intervals, so that we get the changes out the door t...
Before you quit! Understand the concept of Creative Compounding
January 17, 2024 14:00 - 8 minutes - 5.71 MBThe compound effect is a principle that small actions, when taken consistently over time, can lead to significant results. This can be applied to personal development, business, health, etc..

January 03, 2024 14:00 - 10 minutes - 7.03 MBWhat is most important when achieving success in a creative career? Mindset or Skillset?

Maybe you’ve dabbled a bit, but feel silly, because you’re a mother of 2 children and should be in the carpool line at school, instead of writing songs between meetings?

Why you're Not Living up to your Full Potential
October 25, 2023 12:00 - 5 minutes - 3.54 MBI heard a statement made recently that “A great life is living up to your potential”. Which is interesting, because we all have different potential depending on what we’re capable of. A great percentage of the population does not live up to their potential, because it would take them out of their comfort zone, and expose them to whatever fear has been ingrained in them since childhood. Maybe instead of all the added pressure to “chase your passion”, why not follow your curiosity instead? ...

You don’t need to execute all of them, but being in that flow state where you’re allowing the creativity to run through you.

Before JFL, he worked as real estate becau...
How NOT to measure Success, as a Creative
September 13, 2023 12:00 - 6 minutes - 4.41 MBHow do you measure success? How do you know when you’re enough, or you have enough? No matter what I accomplish, consume or conquer, the needle seems to keep moving. I’m on this hamster wheel of never ending conquest. Even when you do feel satisfied and fulfilled, all it takes is a glance at what Jones’s have on Facebook and Instagram, to make your own situation look pathetic. Was life simpler when we lived in solitude? Is success WHAT you want to be, it’s WHO you want to be? Let's discu...
You asked for Growth, so expect Growing Pains - Misogi
August 30, 2023 12:00 - 6 minutes - 4.89 MBIt's human nature to want biggest and better things. But in order to achieve those things, we need to grow into the person who is ready to receive them. Most people want those things handed to them, instead of facing the challenges that may endure along the way. You asked for growth, so don’t be alarmed when you experience growing pains. In this episode we also discuss the Japanese Shinto practice of "Misogi". Misogis can show you that you had this latent potential you didn’t realize, and...

August 16, 2023 12:00 - 9 minutes - 6.46 MBWhy are you doing what you’re doing? What is the motivation? Are you creating art for the money, are you create art just to create?

You learn a lot about an artist motives based on where they put their effort. Derek Sivers says: "Do whatever interests you now, no matter how uncharacteristic. Refuse to assign yourself a purpose.

How to get Lucky in Entertainment and Creative Arts
August 02, 2023 12:00 - 5 minutes - 4.14 MBWe always look at the artists and creators doing better than us, and assume they inherited all the luck that we're lacking... Luck will give you the opportunity, but your body of work will make your career. Although luck plays a big role, it doesn’t just land on our door steps. We have to go out and find it. We have to create consistently. Then trim the hedges to highlight our best assets. If luck hasn't hit you yet, then you're either not good enough, or not exposed enough. We can fix tho...
Don't take yourself too seriously - Feeling Accepted
July 19, 2023 13:00 - 5 minutes - 3.63 MBDo you take your art too seriously? I thought making great music back in my formative years would make me more accepted. I did it for so long that I didn’t know what I was trying to prove anymore. Was I still the person who love making music, or was I just trying to fulfill the rockstar fantasies I had when I was a teenager? Far too often, we let aspiration get in the way of internal motivation. You might want something because someone else has it, or it looks shiny, but if you don’t reall...
Don't be Afraid to look Dumb - Act First, Think Later
July 05, 2023 12:00 - 6 minutes - 4.24 MBThere are 2 types of creators: 1)People who overthink everything 2) People who think nothing through. But what if you took action first, then analyzed later? You’ve heard the expression paralysis by analysis. It’s where you basically cripple yourself, because you’re overthinking every single detail of the project your want to conquer. So much that it becomes overwhelming and binging Netflix feels more appealing. Let's dive in and see how it could affect your output. ………………………………………… https:/...
Success vs Significance. What do we want?
June 21, 2023 12:00 - 5 minutes - 3.69 MBOprah once said everybody says they want success, but it’s not success they’re after, it’s significance. I think that also rings true for artists, but significance is a certain type of success. Are you widely recognized among your peers? Are you renown in your industry or people you respect. Does your work genuinely make an impact? I think this is a great form of success, but it doesn’t necessarily put food on your table. Your work can’t just be admired, it needs to be acquired, in excha...
Why Losing is more Powerful than Winning..?
June 07, 2023 12:00 - 5 minutes - 3.75 MBHave you ever watched someone win an award in the same field that you happen to work in? Like if you’re a musician, and you see someone win a Grammy. Or you’re an author and you see a fellow writer win whatever the hell it is they win. The feeling inside of you, motivating you to want to step up so that one day you can be on that podium taking home the prize that doesn’t actually mean anything. You’ve heard the Jim Carrey quote: “I wish everyone could be rich and famous, and get everythin...
Why your stuff sucks. Are you shooting for greatness, or just good enough?
May 24, 2023 14:00 - 6 minutes - 4.33 MBAre you frustrated because your stuff isn’t popping off. Nobody is engaging with the masterpieces that you’re creating out of your genius skull. Are you creating stuff that is different or are you just trying meet the bench mark? Rik Rubin quoted in his latest book: "Rules direct us to average behaviors. If we’re aiming to create works that are exceptional, most rules don’t apply. Average is nothing to aspire to. " Ease is a greater threat to progress than hardship. When you’re going thr...
Can't lose when chasing a dream (or can you?) - Bill Burr
May 10, 2023 12:00 - 11 minutes - 8.21 MBToday we break down a quote from comedian Bill Burr. It wasn’t a quote, as much as it was a 2 min story on why you can’t lose chasing your dream. It was well spoken, but I want to unpack it, because while things sound dreamy at first, reality kicks in, and that's where everyone jumps ship. Steven Pressfield calls that “resistance” in the War of Art. Ryan Holiday calls that “the obstacle” in Obstacle is the Way. In this episode we'll share the audio clip where Bill talks about getting pai...
Why fame may not be for you - The Artists Journey
April 26, 2023 12:00 - 13 minutes - 9.07 MBWhat if you try to succeed your whole life and never make it? Will you have wasted your life? Any old billionaire ever profiled has said they would trade all their wealth to be in their 20’s again. If time is more valuable than all the things you perceive celebrity status will bring you(money, love, validation), then why are we trying to change things outside of your control? Let's discuss how to optimize the things you can control right now. The goal here is to integrate art into your l...

Achieving the impossible by leveraging your Creative Entitlement
March 29, 2023 12:00 - 9 minutes - 6.33 MBDo you need to be qualified to play the game? Do you need an education in creative work? Does studying for 7 years make you a Dr of creativity? In her book “big magic”, Elizabeth Gilbert uses the term “Creative Entitlement”. This is the belief that you’re allowed to be here, have a voice and allowed to share your unique vision. In Steven Pressfield’s book “Get your ass where your heart wants to be”, he discusses the need to be exposed. You need to put yourself in uncomfortable positions,...
How to outwork your self doubt - Alex Hormozi quote
March 15, 2023 14:00 - 6 minutes - 4.57 MBAlex Hormozi has a great quote “you don’t become confident by shouting affirmations in the mirror, but by having a stack of undeniable proof that you are who you say you are. Outwork your self doubt.” Affirmations are great, but they are only step one. You actually need to implement a strategy that is going to actively bring those things into your life. To outwork your self-doubt, you just need disprove your natural instinct to give up on a consistent basis. It’s our human nature to be comf...
Creative Living Leads to an Amplified Life - Career Artist vs Lifestyle Artist
March 01, 2023 14:00 - 8 minutes - 5.81 MBMost of the content we discuss in these episodes is with the intention of applying some of the tactics to your creative career. The feedback I’ve been getting lately is that listeners aren’t necessarily trying to have a career in the arts, but rather include creativity in their lifestyle, to balance the some of the linear parts of their lives. This episode is a bit of a shift from “career artist” to “lifestyle artist”. ………………………………………… https://www.balancedartist.com https://www.facebook.co...
Episode 100! Breaking down Seth Godin mastery with Heather Parody
February 15, 2023 15:00 - 35 minutes - 24.7 MBI can't believe we have made it to episode 100! I have to thank 'consistency' for this milestone. That being said, I thought it would be a perfect episode to breakdown how Seth Godin discusses consistency in his book "The Practice". It is one of the main principals, if not the most important principal of become a professional creator. Some studies have even shown consistency or persistence a more valuable quality than talent. Let's have a closer look in this episode with my friend and co-ho...
Put a new perspective on old work by Re-releasing previous content
February 01, 2023 13:00 - 5 minutes - 3.57 MBWhen I have a creative block or busy with a bigger project, it's hard to stay consistent with releasing content, so I use this as an excuse to re-release old work. "But my audience has seen or heard this stuff". Maybe not... Your audience is growing every day, so perhaps the new members are not familiar with your old content. For the people that have seen it, it’s a chance to dazzle them again with some of your best work. When you watch a movie the first time, it may be enjoyable, but yo...

Why combining Divergent & Convergent thinking in your work makes you Dangerous
January 18, 2023 13:00 - 5 minutes - 4.05 MBConvergent thinking is the process of finding concrete and familiar solutions to problems. Artists swim in Divergent thinking pool, generating original ideas and new possibilities. Divergent thinking has a major drawback: it can lead to a lack of organization. While our brains are hardwired to make connections between ideas and explore multiple possibilities within the same thought process, this creative thinking requires a little more organization to be effective. Fortunately, convergent ...

Full Calendar or Absent Parent?
December 21, 2022 14:00 - 4 minutes - 3.28 MBMen are programmed to find value in themselves through success, money and power. It’s hard to be in the moment. If he can’t sit with himself then how is he supposed to sit with his family? I have been conflicted lately about travel and parenting.

Being Cool vs Being Successful
November 30, 2022 14:00 - 4 minutes - 3.19 MBWe know the stereotype. Jocks in high school always end up working for nerds in adult hood. Those organization skills, over preparedness, punctuality that gets us made fun of in our formative years, end up being the same soft skills that allow us to excel in the future. Obviously this is exaggerated a bit, but I do notice similar patterns among creatives. Some of the more naturally talented, right brained individuals either don’t know how to promote themselves, or don’t care about promoting...

Go big or play it safe..in your creative journey
November 02, 2022 14:00 - 5 minutes - 4.19 MBShould you shoot for the stars, or play it safe? It depends. If you’re leading the football game 100 to 0, then you don’t need go go for a field goal. Just have some fun running some cool passing plays. But if it’s a close match, and there isn’t much time left on the clock, a field goal may be the best and only way to squeeze out a win. In creative work, I don’t think there is value in constantly playing it safe. If you’re not pushing the boundaries, then how are you growing? Let's discus...

Incubation period of Creative Work
October 19, 2022 15:00 - 3 minutes - 2.7 MBHave you heard of the term “incubation”? When I looked it up online, the first example they gave was the incubation of eggs. It’s basically the time before they hatch. You can’t crack the eggs early. The chicken isn’t ready yet. The thought here is that we should rush things that aren’t ready to be exposed. We all want to cross things off our list, and move onto the next project, but sometimes letting that idea simmer for a little longer can benefit the overall quality of the outcome. Le...

October 05, 2022 14:00 - 4 minutes - 3.01 MBWhen you have kids, people say it's life changing, and they add so much value to your life. Then for the first several years, mostly the diaper stages, you think...this doesn’t seem to have the same ring to it that everyone was talking about. When does the reward for this diaper changing and sleepless nights come?

We discuss tools like: Identifying your point of view and dealing with rejection...
