What is your win? 29.10.2020 5:25
To keep moving forward we all need wins. Big or small, it does not matter. You just need something that says "keep going". In this episode, I talk about a couple of examples and ways to measure what you call a win.

The Universal Language of Art 18.10.2020 7:08
First I get a little distracted by talking about one of my favorite movies and how this is the perfect time of year to watch those old thriller and scary movies. But then I talk about the universal language of art and creativity to help cross the divide of communication when we cannot speak each others language. - Say thanks, I love coffee - https://www.buymeacoffee.com/pwcom - Let’s connect - Twi...
Are You Making The Right Thing? 11.10.2020 2:35
There is no doubt in my mind that as we all create and share things, we have an idea in our head of what we think we are sharing. But have you stopped to consider if that really is the case? Perhaps, more importantly, do you know how to answer that question? - Say thanks, I love coffee - https://www.buymeacoffee.com/pwcom - Let’s connect - Twitter: https://twitter.com/grfxmedia Instagram: https://...
Thoughts on backyard creativity 30.09.2020 5:46
Never forget that inspiration and opportunity to create is always around you, sometimes you need to stop take a couple of seconds to look around. That is my take away from a photo opportunity I spotted in my backyard this week as I was making coffee. - Say thanks, I love coffee - https://www.buymeacoffee.com/pwcom - Let’s connect - Twitter: https://twitter.com/grfxmedia Instagram: https://instagra...
Lessons learned from my own YouTube channel 12.09.2020 7:48
I have been working over the past couple of months on making your YouTube channel better. But in order to do that, I need to know what is and is not working, that's where the time and experiments come in to play. Not forgetting the all-important statistical data. In this episode, I talk about what I discovered and what it tells me to do going forward. Curious where that YouTube channel is? https:/...
The best camera is the one you have with you? Only if it’s a good one! 24.08.2020 5:14
The best camera is the one you have with you, assuming you have a good camera with you that is. A few thoughts on this idea that is commonly found on the Internet. There are times the camera with you is a mobile device, and that is going to bite you on the you know what later if you try and use the image for certain things. So why not just carry an actual camera instead and always be covered for a...
Time for a break (corrected) 04.06.2020 1:49
I have tried hard to get a new episode put together over the past couple of weeks, with everything going on in the World it has proven to be too hard and not as important as everything we are having to deal with. I have decided to take a break as we should be focusing on what's going on around us, so I am using this time to take a break and plan out the direction for next season. I have some new i...
Thank you + Teaching is hard 06.05.2020 8:03
Firstly, a follow up to the previous episode and a thank you to everyone that reached out. Teaching people is hard, figuring out how to break down complicated topics to something that as many as possible will understand at all skill levels is almost an art to its self. Here are a few thoughts and tips on trying to get it right. Spoiler, it all starts with understanding your audience! --- Send in a...
The struggle is real but brutal honesty does help 28.04.2020 5:23
In this episode, I share some thoughts on where I am at right now in particular with this podcast. There are times we just have to tell ourselves that doing something because you like to do it is good enough. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/peter-witham/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/peter-witham/support ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Giving and receiving feedback is important 09.04.2020 7:51
Why getting and giving feedback is important. I do not mean just clicking that thumbs up or down, or +1 on something. I'm talking about telling someone why you are doing it, what it is you liked or what you thought was not so great. We owe it to people to tell them what we thought of it if there is a system in place to do so. Plus, you can only improve if you get feedback. I'll talk about all this...
Suggestions for creative projects whilst stuck at home 03.04.2020 7:54
You are probably stuck in a building like me and so many others. Well, that does not mean we have to give up on projects. Here are 5 suggestions you can try whilst at home. 1. Invent a project that you can do at home, for example document what it is like to be at home. Maybe set up a mini studio for photography or painting. 2. Practice using your equipment, whatever it maybe. Learn settings or may...
COVID-19, Finding the positive, documenting the now 23.03.2020 5:59
We are certainly in a time that we will remember. There is so much going on around the World with COVID-19 and it is tough for everyone. This gave me an idea of how I and so many others can channel all that concern into something to focus our attention and help us get through it. If you are in a position to do so, document how this is affecting you, your family, your town, your country and even th...
Dealing with competition is a mind set, how to come out on top 16.03.2020 8:21
So many projects get abandoned or never started because people take the attitude "Someone else has already done it" and that's idiotic to be blunt. Until you do it, nobody has done it 'your way' and who's to say your take won't be the start of something big? Oh, so a celebrity has entered your market? Great that means good news on exposure for you as well. These thoughts and more on turning that f...
Priorities matter, make them, live with them 22.02.2020 6:53
We all have priorities. Some we make, some we have to live with. But all of them have to be evaluated and responded to accordingly. Here is a few thoughts on that process.

Go all in Poker face! 01.02.2020 10:01
My problem might be my biggest strength. When I start something new I go all in, straight for the deep dive. I'll learn as much as I can, practice and push myself to do the best job I can at whatever it is. That's my strength, it should be yours as well. A few thoughts on how to tackle new things and have a feeling of achievement rather than just dabbling at something on the surface. Please rate t...
Always be you, be authentic 25.01.2020 5:28
We all do it, it's almost a subconscious act. We present ourselves a certain way to people we meet for the first time, maybe it's a client or maybe it's a gathering. But I think you need to try very hard to just be you for several reasons.

Forget New Year Resolutions 03.01.2020 4:20
I know plenty of people out there set a new year resolution or two, but forget it. It's a bad idea for most and destined to fail. I have a better suggestion, set regular goals instead.

Capture ideas when you have them 25.11.2019 12:49
It is very important to capture those ideas in any form you can when you have them, even when they might be rough quick thoughts. They do not have to be perfect, but capturing them is a must. From a few simple words, or a sketch, to a couple of lines of text. Capturing even the beginning of an idea has to be a priority for you. iOS Software I use to capture notes Moleskine Flow for iOS Penbook for...
The benefits of working solo 18.11.2019 8:44

Too Much? Too Soon? Not Enough? 22.10.2019 7:58
I get it, you just did something cool and want to tell the World, but you did that 10 minutes ago, should you wait longer for that next release? Is it too much in one go? Does everyone really want a 2 hour podcast to listen too? Some thoughts on all those things, pace and delivery can make the difference between an on-going conversation and attention or a way to send people to sleep. This episode...
