How to Get Out of the Creative Roundabout
from Keep the Flow

This week on Keep the Flow we look at the idea of What Got You Here Won't Get You There as applied to creatives. At the intersection of creativity and productivity, when we start to think of our creativity as a business sometimes what we ascribe to our success that has brought us to this point is maybe the wrong approach now or just not enough to get us to the next level in our careers. If you feel open to talking about what 3 actions you think you should take to get out of the roundabout, please leave me a comment over on the YouTube version:https://youtu.be/hjeYYDlCF8g------------------------------------------------------Keep the Flow is hosted by Scott McLemore, a drummer and composer living way up north in Iceland.
