It's about self-doubt as well as that inner voice nudging you on. Go on! You can do it! For the designers, photographers, musicians, coaches, illustrators, filmmakers, storytellers, creators and dream makers. You make this world more colourful.

    Creative Companions

    Big Dreams & Little Things Season 3, Episode 25 - Creative Companions - The Lone Genius is a Myth The lone genius is a myth – and it’s holding your creative work back. In this Season 3 premiere, Karina Kampe and Maria Wronski-Ellis explore why creative companionship is the most underrated tool in any artist’s toolkit. Through the incredible story of how Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, and Melissa McCarthy built their careers through deep creative partnerships – from improv classes at The Groundlings to the making of Bridesmaids – we discover that the greatest creative work happens side by side, not in isolation. Plus: the science of why creative pairs innovate more, what cryptomnesia means for collaboration (is it contagious!!?? Relax we have your back!), how to protect your creative rights (featuring the Molly Sandén story), and four essential questions to ask before any creative partnership. Whether you’re a solo entrepreneur, freelancer, songwriter, or creative professional – this episode will change how you think about your creative journey.
