"The Undaunted Creative"
(Podcast)
Doubt. It's a word that creeps into our minds. makes us restless. Gives us pause. At some point in life you might have said to yourself, "I can't do this." "This won't work." "How am I going to accomplish this?" Maybe on the other hand you wondered, "Will things ever work out to my liking?"
Throughout my career, I have had the chance to build relationships with all types of creatives. Each one of these people has a story to tell that will go deeper into the mindset as a creative. What hurdles did they overcome? How did they accomplish success? What driving factors led them to become the creatives they are?
For example, what makes a writer travel to dangerous parts of the world to chronicle change? How do you prepare for the moment of truth with a Grammy-winning artist ready to record tracks with you? What fears do you encounter when leaving a career behind in one city, for a fresh start in another? Each episode I will take you inside the mind of a creative as we weave together stories that led to overcoming doubt, tapping into motivations and ultimately unlocking the creative psyche.
