Episode 20: The Power of No
Send us Fan Mail At some point, we’ve all encountered the messaging that it pays to be a “Yes!” person. Whether from our parents, the endless barrage of self-help materials, or the 2008 titular classic starring Jim Carrey, the wisdom is always the same: say yes to life, push past your comfort…

Episode 19: Measurement Madness
Send us Fan Mail In all of our incessant thoughts of “not good enough,” “not successful enough,” “not far enough along” how often do we stop and actually consider what exactly we are measuring our supposed insufficiencies against? There must be some basis for comparison. Maybe it’s the…

Episode 18: Feel the Burn…out
Send us Fan Mail Webster’s Dictionary defines burnout as—just kidding, this isn’t a middle school book report (it’s worse). The point is, you probably don’t need burnout defined for you because, let’s face it, if you’re listening to this podcast—and reading its description—you know exactly what…

Episode 17: The Ego Orbit aka NARCISSISTS
Send us Fan Mail You know the type. Sometimes when we find ourselves hurling sheepishly through our own galaxy wondering if there’s any other life out there, and, if there is, whether they’ll find any priceless minerals beneath our stony exterior—yep, really going for it with the comet metaphor....

Episode 16: Perfecting Your Perfectionism
Send us Fan Mail Though it’s safe to say that, if you’re listening to this podcast, you’re day isn’t going perfectly, are you the type that’s bothered by that sort of thing? How often do you find yourself chained by the exhausting anxiety of perfectionism? Do you find your joy spoiled and your...

Episode 15: Pro is for Prolific or Procrastinate?
Send us Fan Mail It’s an age old artistic question: does the aim of being professionally creative destroy or empower the impetus for actual creation? Whereas one’s mind may go to the adage of “do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life,” anyone who has assigned an occupational...
-
Episode 14: Sabotage!!!
Send us Fan Mail We know what we want. We know when we want it. We think, at least. Every time we actually get serious about our dreams we find ourselves resisting every step towards actually fulfilling them. What gives? What is it about actually starting to see the success we have long craved...

Episode 12: Self-Hell
Send us Fan Mail In the early innings of yet another new year, compelled to take on fresh resolutions and (likely short-lived) self-improvement projects, it can be difficult not to get overwhelmed by the incessant pressure to always be working on oneself. Of course, it is both noble and…

Episode 13: Don't Look Back In Anger?
Send us Fan Mail We all have moments in our lives that we look back on and cringe. Maybe it’s a legitimate regret at an opportunity we wish our previous self had taken or a situation we could have handled differently. Maybe it’s something as truly heinous as telling the cashier at the movie…

Episode 11: Consistent Resistant
Send us Fan Mail As difficult as it is, some days, to bring oneself to be creative, it can seem almost impossible to envision a life in which creativity happens on a consistent basis. This can seem even more insurmountable if one finds that, on those rare days of creative output, it is more the...
-
Episode 10: The Re-Creative Process
Send us Fan Mail When was the last time we really loved what we were doing? Really loved the art that we set out, however long ago, to create and the art made by others? For some of us (!?!), maybe that was as recently as today, but for many of us, that love has been barricaded deep within us by...

Episode 9: Hope is the Thing with Tethers
Send us Fan Mail Is it just us or has everything been feeling a little stagnant lately? As we find ourselves caught in the monotonous whirlpool of tending to responsibilities, making ends meet, and feeling just that much older every time we come up for air, it can start to feel like our lives…
more -
Episode 8: The Limitation Game
Send us Fan Mail What is true artistic freedom? We’d all almost certainly argue that it looks something like having no boundaries or restrictions to one’s creative process or the time needed to perfect it. Maybe it means having the resources to rent a studio and pay musicians for months on end…

Episode 7: Last Place in the Rat Race
Send us Fan Mail Why is it that no matter how vigorously we run the race of life, we always end up feeling like we’re falling behind? Whether we’re losing ground, time, or patience, why do we invariably get so bogged down by what we know to be but mundane detours in our quest for joy that we put…

Episode 6: Friends In No Places.
Send us Fan Mail A good friend can be hard to find. How is it that, for a subset of people who define themselves by their sensitivity and depth, it can feel so difficult to find relationships that aren’t centered on networking and shallow small talk? Sure, we may know a hundred other artists who…

Episode 5: All the World’s a Stage… When’s Intermission?
Send us Fan Mail Sometimes it gets to feeling like the acts we put on pervade well beyond the literal stage. In an age where we feel like the eyes of the world are always upon us (at least in our heads), it can become difficult to know who we are underneath it all—both as artists and as people.…

Episode 4: You Are Not Your Art
Send us Fan Mail Episode 4: You Are Not Your Art Why does it matter so much that others like our art ? Sure, we can all cling to the rational platitudes of “it doesn’t matter, so long as we personally love what we’re doing,” but let’s face it, it still hurts our feelings when others don’t share…

Episode 3: "Holi-choly" aka, Holly Jolly Melancholy...examined, part 2.
Send us Fan Mail Pt 2: New Year, Same Me ‘Tis (still) the season! In this follow up holiday episode, Brett and John shift their rambling from the past-looking pathos of Christmas to the futile futurism of New Years—for what better cure for spending another holiday ruminating on all that we’ve…

Episode 2: "Holi-choly" aka, Holly Jolly Melancholy...examined, part 1.
Send us Fan Mail Pt. 1: Walking Backwards Through Life ’Tis the season! On this two-part episode, Brett and John sing the holiday blues—not literally, thank goodness—and attempt to get to the bottom of that subtle, unspoken sadness that always seems to undergird this time of year. Maybe it’s the...

Episode 1: The Co-Dependent Creative
Send us Fan Mail Come, overthink with us. Who do you make art for? Do you feel like you owe it to anyone to keep being an artist? Is starting a podcast (and calling it art) really worth disappointing your parents over? This podcast will not help you answer those questions—well, except maybe the...
