The Creative Minds Podcast

In this episode we explore the power of creative ritual, offering a doorway to the kind of work, and creative flow-state, we are looking to access. Featuring Damon Albarn, Chantal Joffe, Chris Ofili, and Joan Miró - this podcast will take you on a journey into creative ritual, and how adopting certain ways of working, can help us feel more satisfied and in love, with our creative life (for good)....

Hey, and thanks for opening this one. Sometimes for those of us who publish work online, there can be a trend to try and say things are easy. Just 5 quick steps or tricks to complete, and you’ll be done. Do this once, this fool-proof method for assured success, and you’ll be complete, signed-off, invulnerable to pain or failure or doubt of any kind for good. But this piece is not about anything li...

Shouts to the person who emailed me the other day, telling me I needed to buy their product, because my views on my Youtube channel were falling right, and surely I must be desperate - feeling in need - not enough perhaps? No close friend, that is not what I feel. This community is here for the long term, and my passion and love for the work I do here goes right to the core of why I get up in the...

This is a more developed version of the written article I brought out recently, now in beautiful audio with artist clips to provide more depth. I hope some people enjoy the work here - and if you’d prefer to see the video version, head over to the Creative Minds Youtube, where' the video will be launching today. Thanks as always for being here, Will Can you help support this work? I believe Creati...

Hey, and thanks for opening this one. I hope some people can enjoy this through the podcast now if they prefer too. I just watched the interview back with Carlos, and I was inspired myself. He talks about surprising himself with his music, and approaching the creative journey with a positive mindset. His journey with guitar started at 48, and he followed his passion for music into group learning a...

Hey, And thanks for opening this one. I’m pushing to make this weekly here now and am super happy to see people listening along and getting value from these pieces. IT’S HAPPENING - I have a specific focus for series 3 of the CM Conversations, and with your support and engagement here, I’ve been able to approach some really great organisations and companies that are facilitating and supporting cre...

Hey, This is a more developed audio version of the popular newsletter post from earlier this month. I hope there’s no confusion when a similar titled piece drops in your email box, and please let me know if there was… I’ll find another way around next time. Mostly, I just hope you dig what I’ve done with the written piece, when taking it into audio. And if you do enjoy this, please drop a like or...

A lot of work & hustle to get this together, and listening to it this morning, I really enjoy how it all just fades into a simple and relaxed conversation between two people who really (really) like making things. If you give this a chance, I think a lot of creatives will enjoy this one. And if you do enjoy it, go and check out the album, and consider sharing the conversation with a fellow maker/a...

This podcast covered my interview with Q Garçons from the CM Conversations. Dude is hungry and the energy is great to hear. There’s also a little update here about my recent work with Universal Music, which has definitely been a move, and something that’s evolving in an interesting way… If you wanna find more on Q Garçons, his work is below… https://www.instagram.com/neighborhoodshakespeare/ https...

The thoughts in this episode matter to me. And the conversation enclosed (along with so many of the conversations that are coming to my door at the moment) matters to me. It’s been my own journey, especially over the last two years, to try and move away from being so individually obsessed with pushing forward certain creative goals, and start to realise that - when it comes to real satisfaction wi...

I loved making this one. I’ve been going through my own ups and downs at the moment, nothing crazy, just standard being a human s**t. And this search to be more present throughout my day has been the tool and marker post to aim for in the future. One of the joys of making this episode was to re-listen to the discussion I had with Maya about her creative practice. The links to her work are here if...

Hey, hope you enjoy this one. Burn out is a classic topic for creatives, but recently, through my own experience, I've been re-understanding burn out and what it can mean in regards to issues of overthinking, self-doubt, and isolation. Come check out the newsletter if you hear this and want loads more of these kind of discussions https://insidecreativeminds.substack.com/ Dr Rangan: https://www.you...
