MC36: Success + Self Worth (The Final Episode)

What this episode covers

Episode 36 marks an end of things – an ending I didn’t expect or see coming. Yes, this is the last episode of The Mindful Creator. After a lot of searching and reflection, I’ve decided to shut down the show and move on to other things. So I sat down to record my thoughts on the ending of the show, why I decided to let go, and a deeper dive into this strange correlation humans have between our accomplishments and sense of self worth. The latter topic is especially important to me, as I’ve struggled mightily on my creative journey at times with separating my vision for success from my own identity. With the steady climb of depression in the entrepreneur and creative communities – I thought it was important to spend some time digging deeper into this weird cultural obsession we have with basing our self worth on the weight of our contributions and accomplishments. Before I part and leave you to listen to this episode, I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has supported me since I launched the podcast a little over a year ago. It has been a wild and wondrous ride, and I am grateful to each and every listener and guest who has graced me with their attention, good conversation, and precious time. Oh, and be sure to stick around until the end of the episode to listen to the full version of the show’s intro song – The Operator by Adam Butler . I wanted to leave with a little homage to what is a really fantastic piece of art that I am thankful to have been given the permission to use. May you find strength in self awareness and the present moment on your creative journey. – Brett
