Really interesting content! Great interviews.
While some of the subject matter doesn’t relate exactly to the work I do (I primarily do post production for training series’) the concepts, inspirations and stories of how each of these creatives came to be, found success, overcame difficulties and wrung creativity out of every day is truly inspiring.
I’ve been a fan of Nick Harauz’s live and online training for years through LinkedIn Learning, FMC courses and workshops and industry shows like Adobe MAX, Post Production World (NAB Show), and others. It’s really interesting watching what he’s gleaning from these discussions, knowing how deep his own knowledge and interest in creative pursuits is.
This podcast series really is special, and anytime I get to hear Brian Maffitt speak is a blessing. Can’t wait for the next episode!
Thanks, BorisFX!
Interesting listen - generated creative flow!
Something about the collective conversation that really drew me into this conversation. I loved reflecting back on my own childhood and what it meant to be free creatively. As a creative entrepreneur it was really helpful to hear from others on how they view creativity and how to find it when the demands of life and work feel stifling. Authentic facilitation by Nick Harauz took this to a deeper level and helped me expand my own thinking around what get’s me into my flow state. There’s something here for everyone. Well worth the 56 minutes. Thank you for the inspiration.
