The Creative Minds Podcast

Use promo code CreativeMindsPod for 15% off your first campaign at https://playlistpush.com/spotify-playlists-promotion This is the longest episode yet, and about something I’ve personally found real value in. Whenever I have a stressful event to meet in my work (or life), I always fall back on meditation as the best preparation tool. I use it to manage anxiety around upcoming performances, and I’...

Super enjoyable and interesting one here. Holas is a hip hop artist from Adelaide, Australia, and I really think this one will resonate for some people, because it hit for me as a musician pushing to make space and time for projects whilst balancing the rest of life. Go and check out Holas’s work here and support: He was also kind enough to give me some links to other Australian rappers so we can...

We’re back with CM Conversations. And an amazing one to return with. Daniel is a poet, but he brought interest and experience on all types of struggles artists deal with - creative routine, approaching the political from the lens of the personal, and the necessity for vulnerability when we share our work. There will be something in here for every passionate creative, and it’s a great starting poin...

Distraction, presence, time, patience, reality vs the online space - this piece encapsulates a lot of the theme...

Use promo code CreativeMindsPod for 15% off your first campaign at https://playlistpush.com/spotify-playlists-promotion My attempt with this HTSC series, is to build out a collection of voices that can support the CM community in their own journeys. I hope some of you will resonate with what Annahstasia’s bringing forward here. And please explore any of the interviews further below. Annahstasia on...

First things first - go and drop OhPandah a YT follow, you won’t regret it - https://www.youtube.com/@ohpandah/videos This was another conversation that just over-delivered massively for me. It feels like CM Conversations are bringing so much nourishment and goodness into my orbit, and I just couldn’t be happier with how the series is unfolding. I hope you enjoy this one, and if you’re here, I thi...

Huge thanks to JPEGMAFIA, Tyler, J. Cole, and all the artists featured in it. I hope this piece finds artists and creatives out there, and gives them that push...

The season here continues in fantastic fashion. And honestly, if you know a fellow creative who doesn’t follow this already - this is surely the time to tell them. I’m very proud and pleased to be sharing all these creatives and artists with you - and today, writer Molly Aitken , who has published two novels with Penguin Random House, and recently had her short story published in The New Yorker -...

Hey, hope all are feeling good. Yeah, I just listened to this back. And I wanted to double down on saying that I genuinely make this stuff to increase a sense of belonging and connectedness for those whose experience might resonate with the featured artist. I hope it doesn’t feel like I’m projecting too much onto Albarn here - and if I am, I apologise to him for that, and people can make their own...

This one’s a beautiful conversation. It’s about purpose, creativity, and how to protect your artistic process in the online space. A massive shout to Trev - and more collaborative work will come between us in the future I’m certain. GO FIND HIS YOUTUBE HERE - https://www.youtube.com/@TrevBarnes And before I go - a massive thank you to those who took the time to fill out the survey I posted. Genuin...

Doing things on purpose - this is my favourite point Gabriel speaks on in this. Taking 1 picture on set, rather than shooting a 1000 and deciding in post. The technology of this world often promises us more - more options, more complexity, more choices. But the best artists understand that the promise of more is often a trap, or a shield to hide behind. BE CLEAR IN YOUR INTENTION - REFLECT ON WHAT...

What can I say? So many gems in here. We talk about life as a 9-5 worker with a committed creative practice, Ben’s journey from passionate fiction writer to award-winning published novelist, and what ‘doing the actual thing’ might mean for all creatives. I believe this will find someone and inspire them - and I loved making it. GO FIND BEN’S WORK https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Everything-W...

I have one goal when making these pieces now - I ask myself, if the artist saw this piece, would they love it? Would they feel it represented them, and the work they do? When a video passes that test - it’s done. Love and power to you. And thanks for the positive response to my longer writing pieces recently. The love is felt here very much. The second CM conversation of series 3 will be dropping...

What a nourishing and beautiful way to start this season of the CM Conversations. An absolute privilege to speak to Brian and Sol. I don’t think I really need to say much on top of this one, I’m just going to say - sit back, make yourself a hot drink, and enjoy. And thanks for being here, this season is feeling fruitful and warm already and I’m super happy to bring it fwd. https://www.instagram.co...

Hello, and thanks for being here. Today I’m bringing you video artist, visual artist, musician, director - all that good stuff - Zahir. I was out listening to my headphones recently, and one of Zahir’s tracks came on, and without realising who it was, I checked to see the artist and hit save. Go check out his work. You won’t regret it. And make the link with him too, let’s connect this community b...

On this podcast, I explore creativity through conversations and reflections on how artists expand their limitations and find more satisfaction in their work. Today is just the same (but a particular favourite of mine to work on). This episode is the second in my series, looking at the intersection between creative practice and Zen. And in this one I’m looking at the idea that our best work doesn’t...

Hey, thanks for opening this one, and happy Christmas to you and yours… At Christmas we often reflect on our creative practice, and can feel pressure to make goals for the new year based around outcomes and expectations. Well-meaning friends and family, can say things to us that might make us focus on measurable goals, or lose sight of the purpose we have for our work, which we’ve fought to define...

This podcast is a companion piece to the article I put out on the newsletter. Both pieces are intended to be a fishing net - designed specifically for those feeling some lack of motivation or creative burnout. Inside this room I’ve collected a few choice things to surround yourself with, as the winter settles in, and we naturally gear down a bit (or maybe it’s just me?). In the podcast I talk abou...

Oh sobriety - how you infiltrate the creative space entirely. Listen to interviews with ten of your favourite artists, and a good six or seven will probably mention a strained relationship with the many altered states on offer. So what can we deduce then? Well, that this sobriety we speak on, is an issue we must discuss and share about. In this podcast episode specifically, I explore the idea that...
