On this episode Mike & Paul "Just Go With It". Mike overanalyzed (like he often does) and thought about how he often over-thinks the work and just fails at making art. This laid back episode is really about having a conversation with very little planning to see where it goes and what happens. 

Even in the spirit of this episode, Mike held back, did some things creatively he would not and has not done before, he just went with it. Made a video, and created a condensed episode to post on his YouTube channel too. He even decided to relax on the edit and just cut through the audio files to see how it turns out (I guess we will see how this goes). 

Sipping on a few tasty ales called Hop Slam from Bell's Brewery, Mike & Paul discuss a few things that come to mind while thinking about the topic, "Just Go With It". If you tend to over-think, procrastinate, and overanalyze things and don't just work at your art, this may be the episode for you.

Mike & Paul discuss continuous improvement or as some would say, the pursuit of mastery while enjoying a glass of Knob Creek whiskey. As creatives we all know that simply learning the basics and doing is not enough - we must become life-long students of our craft and evolve as we gain experience.  

Episode 56 is intended to be a reminder to artists and creatives from all walks of life that we can improve, and by taking small steps each day, we can master our craft. In our busy lives, practice and taking time to hone our skills may not always be in the front of our minds, but with a little planning and good methods, we will find time to gradually improve our skills each and every day.  

Nobody wants to remain a beginner, or just rely on the skills they learned when they started their journey. If you really want to be great at something, and become the artist you have the potential to become, you can do it by applying the methodology of continuous improvement. Art school, music school, classes, workshops, and more might give you the tools and techniques to build upon, but to truly master your craft, you must learn how to improve on your own. This episode is for you.  

A few of the books mentioned on this episode:  

• The Moment It Clicks by Joe McNally  
• Creative Calling by Chase Jarvis
• Atomic Habits by James Clear  

If you found value listening to this episode, please share it with your friends. Leave a review and subscribe to the podcast, it really helps!

Thank-you to the crew over at CCC (specifically Genki) who peer pressured me into starting a podcast. Clearly it didn't take much, but I do appreciate the push, nonetheless. I never knew I would enjoy podcasting as much as I do. I've learned a lot about myself and continue to learn how to improve simply by listening to my own recordings and through the research preparing for each episode. ~ Mike

On this episode, Mike and Paul talk about the one tool we can't live without. As Creatives, we often get hung-up on gear but forget our most important tool is our brain. 

The final episode of the year, and not quite a look back on the shows, this episode is a laid back session designed to make you think about what is really important to you in terms of gear and tools. A chance to look at what really matters, and a way to make us think about what we are doing as creatives.
