    About this Episode

    By now, we’ve all seen a million perfectly curated morning routine videos and read numerous articles and blog posts about how if you don’t have the perfect morning routine you’re gonna be a loser for life. We all know that your average billionaire wakes up 3 hours earlier than us mere mortals, and that Oprah meditates for 20 minutes before taking an invigorating walk around her Montecito mansion and tucking into an organic meal prepared by her private chef. But really- why are we so obsessed with morning routines? To what extent do they work, or not work? Are there truly some things we should be doing in the morning to increase our creativity and productivity? We'll be getting drunk on the creative possibilities with a Bloody Mary- don't worry, not a lemon water in sight!

    How can multipassionate creatives build a cohesive personal brand?

    How can multipassionate creatives build a cohesive personal brand?

    Think Frida Kahlo. Karl Lagerfeld. Lady Gaga. Andy Warhol. Creatives whose work, life, style, and values are inextricably enmeshed, exponentially increasing their creative reach and impact. That is the power of the personal brand. A brand clearly communicates its values, goals, and value added to its ideal customers. But creating a brand is daunting, isn't it? And how do you achieve this clarity if you're a multipassionate creative, artist, or creative entrepreneur?

    Starting over on social media (for multi passionate creatives)

    Starting over on social media (for multi passionate creatives)

    Love it or hate it, social media is the top way that most creatives, artists, writers, musicians and creative entrepreneurs can showcase  who they are and what they do. But at some point, many of us have perhaps felt frustrated: social media, or the algorithm, doesn't seem to be working for us anymore. Our old accounts are stale, with low engagement, or they show a version of ourselves that doesn't align with who we are, or who we want to be. Our feeds are clogged with uninspiring content from people we obligation-followed eons ago. 

    As multi passionate creatives, once we have determined our brand, clarity in our messaging is key, or maybe we've decided we would be better served by a few separate accounts.

    But starting over is daunting. Does it even make sense? Why and how does one wipe the slate clean on social media without losing everything?

    Join us as we get drunk on the creative possibilities of starting over.

    The creative entrepreneur's secret weapon: creative marketing

    When you're an artist, a creative or a creative entrepreneur, marketing your work is hard. It can feel too much like self-promotion, it can feel like it takes time out of our creative pursuits, and many of us wish it wasn't part of our job.

    The bad news is, marketing is very much part of your job, whether you're an artist, a writer, a musician, a crafter, or a creative entrepreneur. The good news is, creative marketing can really make a huge difference in your business, and most creatives are naturally pretty good at it- once they've broken through their initial resistance. In this episode, we'll talk about meeting Tom Bulleit of Bulleit Bourbon and how he revolutionized the world of marketing, and we'll be drinking a Mint Julep.

     

    FEAR: How it impacts creativity and your creative success

    FEAR: How it impacts creativity and your creative success

    Many multi-passionate creatives have tons of great ideas all the time. When they move on to the next idea without seeing one side through, some people assume that it's because they got bored or because of shiny object syndrome. But that's not the complete story. Often creative ideas and projects remain unfinished or even don't get started because fear makes us talk ourselves out of it. In this episode we discuss fear, fears that are common to creatives, such as fear of failure, fear of success, fear of rejection, and how fear impacts our creativity and creative success, and how creatives, artists, writers, and creative entrepreneurs can make their creative dreams come true despite the fear.
