The Switch Happy Oscar

Welcome back to The Switch, where Eric and I wrap up our three-part series on creativity at Jujuice. After exploring Organized Creativity and Intentional Creativity, we’re discussing the Social Side of Creativity in this episode. We dive into the expectations behind our creations and how engaging with others sparks our creativity.

Switch-it-up Steps:


Expect and Accept: When you create, you might expect feedback or engagement, but it’s okay if it doesn’t come. Remember, "You can't deposit likes in the bank." Focus on creating value, not just gathering likes.
1000 True Fans Theory: We discuss the concept of needing only 1000 true fans to potentially make $100,000—based on each fan spending $100 on your products. It's about quality connections, not just quantity.
Navigate the Social Ballroom: Think of social media as a grand ballroom where everyone shares their ideas. It’s important not only to showcase your work but also to engage actively with others’ creations. Everyone is just screaming look at me look at me, switch it up.
Push for Originality: In a world where it's easy to fall into the trap of imitating others, strive to maintain your originality. Being influenced is inevitable, but copying shouldn't be your end game.

Welcome back to The Switch, still at JuJuice in Laredo, Tx, where Eric and I continue to explore the depths of organized creativity. In this episode, we dive into the concept of Intentional Creativity. We discuss the importance of creating with purpose, but with the understanding that what we create isn’t for everyone—it’s for those who relate with our passions and perspectives.

Switch-it-up Steps:


Focus Your Intentions: Create content around topics that you are passionate about. When you know your audience, it simplifies the creative process because you're speaking directly to those who are like you.
Be Selective with Your Ideas: Not every idea needs to be pursued. Be intentional about what ideas you jot down. This helps maintain focus and relevance in your projects.
Leverage Technology: Use the native functions of apps, like saving posts on social media or taking screenshots on your phone, to keep your ideas organized and accessible. This is crucial for turning thoughts into actionable plans.

During our chat, we also explore how to use inspirations from what we see daily to spark our own unique creations. The goal isn’t just to gather ideas but to do so with purpose—intentional in what we keep and what we toss.

As our conversation unfolds, it’s clear that intentional creativity isn’t just about creating; it’s about creating something meaningful. The Switch may not be for everyone, but it’s definitely for someone—the one who sees the world a little differently.

On this episode, Eric and I are diving deep into the theme of organized creativity while chilling at JuJuice, enjoying a pitaya bowl and chocolate smoothie. We're unpacking how setting up professional Instagram accounts for Infinite Talks Podcast and Happy Oscar Studio has not only structured our creative output but also amplified it. We talk about the freedom and focus that come from aligning our posts with our brand identity—keeping things organized yet flexible.

Switch-it-up Steps:


Set Up for Success: Consider starting an Instagram for your creative projects. It’s a game-changer for keeping your content streamlined and on-brand. It's also real engagement and not bias if you just got fam supporting your stuff.
Embrace the Aesthetic: Your feed doesn’t need to be perfect, but can have a consistent theme or vibe. This can actually free up your creativity, letting you focus more on what you want to say rather than how you say it.
Document the Journey: Share the behind-the-scenes of your creative process. This transparency not only engages the audience but also helps you reflect on your own creative evolution.

As our chat unfolds over each bite and sip at JuJuice, it’s clear that a bit of organization can spark creativity. We’re excited to see how these new strategies will move our own personal brands forward as well as The Switch. Thanks for joining us on this journey of creativity and exploration. Let’s keep switching it up together!

On this episode, Eric and I are back at it, chatting about all things creative while continuing our conversation from episode 215 at Bridge Ministries Coffee Shop. We're still on the go, diving into how we use drives around our city and virtual city tours to spark our creativity. Plus, we discuss a creative block challenge I set up for myself to push the creativity forward.

Switch-it-up Steps:


Go for a Drive: If cruising your city lit a spark, why stop there? Hit up some nearby spots or jump into virtual worlds for new vibes and visuals.
Listen to the Culture: Remember our chat about the Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake showdown? Think about how these cultural waves ripple through your own creative spirit.
Capture the Inspiration: Whether it’s jotting down thoughts or shooting a vlog, documenting your creative trips can light up someone else’s imagination.

As our convo unfolds with every sip here at Bridge Ministries Coffee Shop, it’s clear that creativity is something that one can spark. We’re pumped to see where our on-the-go approach takes The Switch and hope you are too. Thanks for being part of our creative journey. Let’s keep switching it up together!
