    Eye-catching content that gets to the heart

    Today, images, videos, text and video flood our feeds with such vigor that we often consume them without thought. But amid the content deluge, certain pieces stand out and rise to the surface. What makes those pieces so special, and what causes us to connect to them?
    In this episode, we each share three impactful content finds, and chat about the qualities that make us stop, engage, and share.

    The advice we wish we'd ignored

    The advice we wish we'd ignored

    We’re taught to follow the rules and listen to the experts, but what happens when the advice turns out to be bad?
    In this episode we reflect on experiences with individuals who made us second guess our talents and how their feedback impacted our work.

    Photographs and Memories

    Photographs and Memories

    When was the last time you looked at old family photos? The kind that are yellowed and printed on that paper they just don’t make anymore. You sort that you might find inside an oversized album?
    In this episode, we get nostalgic chatting about childhood photos, old family videos, restoration, and the way they have the power to spark a memory, a thought or a change in perspective.

    Are we done being social on social media?

    Social media has been a part of our lives for the past decade, but cultural moments have shifted our behaviors, and it’s time to reevaluate.
    In the last year, we’ve witnessed a decline in social interactions and a rise in a new form of communication. Have you shifted your strategy to embrace this new era?
    Join us for a conversation about the social media that once was and what audiences crave in 2023.

    How Much Time Should You Spend Creating Social Content?

    How Much Time Should You Spend Creating Social Content?

    What is the longest you’ve spent crafting a piece of social media content? Three hours? Three days? How about three months?
    In this episode, we discuss an article that breaks down a tweet that took three months of deliberation and seven rounds of revisions before it was published.
    Despite its virality, was it an effective social media strategy? Or the best use of time?
    We have a lot of thoughts, and we bet you do too. Plug in and join us for our conversation.

The Thoughtful Creatives

This podcast hits on two of my favorite things: 1) it’s a podcast and I love podcasts so it has that going for it and 2) it’s an authentic and interesting conversation about creativity. These hosts really have thoughtful conversations each week to get me thinking and they are different enough to provide multiple perspectives. A great podcast gets the listener to a place where they are thinking, intrigued to stay the course to the end, and leaving with something to relate to. This pod accomplishes all three.
