#4 - Today I explore "What Drives you to be Creative"

from NORDIC Hosted by Host of Pluralism

Welcome back to Axis! In this episode, I dive into the core of creativity: what actually motivates us to create? I explore the spectrum between being internally driven (by love for the craft, personal growth, or the sheer joy of creating) and externally driven (by recognition, discussion, and interaction with others). Most of us are a mix of both, but understanding your primary lean is key to building a sustainable creative practice. I share my personal journey as someone who leans heavily on external motivation, and how I’ve designed my content creation strategy; using platforms like Instagram Threads; to harness that need for connection and turn it into consistent output. I also discuss why nurturing an internal drive is crucial for long-term meaning, and how the two motivations can work together. Whether you’re a content creator, artist, or just looking to reignite a creative spark, this episode is about finding the systems and self-awareness that will keep you motivated for the long haul. Thank you for tuning in. See you next time.
