What if your art was an invitation rather than a gift?
What if this was an invite to a party that celebrated failures?
A FAIL-A-BRATION!?
What happens when we share our wins AND losses, happy accidents AND miserable mishaps?
In this fun and inspiring chat with Brad and Kristi Montague, we discuss the origins and inspiration behind their newest picture book 'FAIL-A-BRATION' and how an idea generously shared, can spark a movement.

When working on a project, do you carefully plot or fly by the seat of your pants?
How do you switch gears between different projects or even different mediums?
This episode is a conversation with Michael Dante DiMartino, the writer, producer and co-creator of the animated series 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' and 'Legend of Korra'.

Why aren’t more people discovering and embracing your work? It must not be good enough, right?
You’ve heard it a billion times: Just do the work. But what if obsessively overthinking and over-tinkering is just as dangerous of a distraction as procrastination?
What would it look like if you redirected some of your focus away from micro-creative improvements and towards developing a more intentional relationship with new fans?
In this episode we explore how to get new people to discover your work and form a meaningful long lasting connection with them as well!

Do you have a box of treasured momentos, a drawer of unfinished artwork or a notebook of ideas you never quite started and definitely didn't finish?
Author and illustrator Carson Ellis tells us how she uncovered a forgotten journal from her 20s and how it informed an entire series of work, with a little help along the way from some other past projects.
This interview is creative inspiration for how to tell stories using pictures, capture nostalgia and perhaps even create art today as a time capsule for the future.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION:
Everything changes. Platforms. The Economy. Seasons of Life.
What do you do when these changes block your path in such a way, that no matter how you look at it, you can’t seem to find a path forward? You need to get distance to find perspective, but you can’t always press pause and escape to a two week vacation anytime you get stuck. In this episode we talk about the research backed power of the journey mentality and how to access its perspective shifting magic.
This is episode 1 of our ongoing Creative Journey Series.

A chat with Yoni Wolf of the band WHY? - I have been a massive fan for YEARS and you've heard their music every week on the show! You may also have heard more of the the band in our Right Side Out Series.
This episode is for you if you are sick and tired of waiting for someone to let you do the creative work you want to be making, if you need inspiration for how to put more of yourself into your work or if you need a fresh helping of that feeling of why we do creative work at all - and stick until the end for a CTIA called NO MITT FOR THESE PITCHES on the mindset shift that helped me go from a place of fruitlessly pitching tons unsuccessful book ideas to publishers and into a place where I’ve been consistently making books for the past four years!

The creative brain is amazing at coming up with infinite options and connections, but sorting through and choosing which options are best and should be focused on is a totally different skill.
In this episode we talk to incredible Illustrator and Youtuber Cheyenne Barton, right in the midst of working this stuff out for herself. At the time we talked, Cheyenne was feeling overwhelmed in her practice and I found the vulnerability of this chat to be a real gift. If you’re burnt out or feeling overwhelmed, this snapshot will help you feel less alone in it and may just give you some tools to overcome it!
