Michelle went to a creative event this week and wants to know what tips Brandi has for creatives who are feeling low or discouraged that they won’t ever have another good idea.
:50 Michelle’s week!
1:00 Michelle went to a “creative night” with special guest Propaganda.
1:25 Check this dude out. Seriously. Smart guy, amazing things to say. He’s a rapper, spoken word artist, and so much more.
2:19 Does anyone else turn on their voice memo and just record fun conversations??? Is that weird?
2:50 Brandi’s week! Lots of time spent at the library. Here are some cool children’s art books she’s found!
9:13 Brandi’s Song this week is by Portugal, The Man
12:15 Topic of the week – this week we talk about how often creatives are completely burnt out, or more commonly, overcome by fear and have some intense low points. Fear of not succeeding, fear of their idea being terrible, fear of never having another good idea ever again. F E A R.
16:41 Most important things to do to make sure you keep on having good ideas!!!
16:41 NUMBER ONE on the priority list! Making sure you have a process and f o l l o w i n g it!!!
17:01 If you don’t follow your process, the outcome for your next project will pretty much be the same as your last project.
18:11 It can be lonely and frustrating if you don’t know a lot of creatives, so the next thing you should do is have a community. Find one! Social media is your friend for this, as well as the REAL LIFE community you live it! Check out this blog post that has all of the links you need to find your community!
21:26 Try new things! Tired of logos? Dabble in photography, learn about screen printing, do something new that can expand what you actually work on!
23:30 Propaganda says, “When things are hard, I really enjoy the wrestle to excellent.”
24:56 Embrace the struggle. Embrace the journey.
23:54 You do you! Be amazing.
