    The podcast and the technique

    Hi, I’m Marlie, recording for you in my hometown in the Netherlands near Eindhoven. This is my first podcast and we’ll just have to see how this goes. Creative pragmatism has outcomes that come in many forms. One of them is you actually hearing this right now. Couple months ago I met someone in an art workshop and we clicked, so we decided on trying to make a podcast where the two of us paint and talk. Only we didn’t get beyond recording a demo. The technique was too difficult , my brain crashed, holidays came, and I just left it. I decided this was a missed opportunity and accepted it. But then other things happened. I was so inspired I felt I needed to start my own business and tell others about my philosophy. I already knew that my way of coping with sh%t inspired others. This journey led me here, to Substack. I did live under a stone for never discovering this amazing platform, but here I am, finally catching up. Ready to learn, share, connect. Why is this pragmatic? I took my best knowledge so far. Improved it, because I decided I wasn’t going to be a laggard. Learned about Substack and discovered its podcast section. And just dove right in. This is the result: I hope you enjoyed listening to this and if you subscribe, you will be updated whenever a new episode is online.This is bye for now. Have a wonderful day and please be kind to others as well as to yourself. This is a public episode.
