Ep 300: Austin Kleon – Creating Like the Kids, how we can steal some of the magic we've surrendered

from The Creative Condition podcast · host Ben Tallon

Austin Kleon is a phenomenally successful author. His books, Steal Like an Artist, Show Your Work, Keep Going, and now, Don't Call It Art, have sold in obscene numbers for a great reason: he brings immense value to the lives of people who wish to create something true to them. For the 300th episode of The Creative Condition podcast, we're getting into everything that matters in this current, overwhelming moment, and the good news is, it's all very joyful! Austin likes analog, and we talk about parenting, creativity, learning from four-year-olds, creating before we have an idea to get an idea, and so much more, including common mistakes even the greats make.
