Behind the Mic: Listener Love and Upcoming Creative Endeavors

Create Art Podcast: Listener Reviews and Upcoming EventsWelcome to a special edition of the Create Art Podcast, where we delve into listener reviews and upcoming projects that are stirring excitement. My name is Timothy Kimo Brien, your host, and I'm thrilled to share some heartfelt interactions and future plans with you. As fall graces us here in Fredericksburg, Virginia, bringing its pumpkins, leaves, and crisp weather, it feels like the perfect time to pause and reflect on what we've accomplished together. Listener Reviews and AcknowledgmentsOne of the highlights of this podcast journey has been the incredible feedback from listeners and collaborators. Recently, I received a touching message from a long-term listener and fellow collaborator, York Campbell, who runs the Welcome to Earth Stories podcast. York shared his thoughts on my episode about harnessing negativity for creativity, expressing how it resonated deeply with him. Feedback like this reminds me why sincerity and honesty are at the heart of this show. Additionally, I took the opportunity to share reviews from various guests who have graced the podcast. Dr. Joshua Karbala praised the engaging and comfortable environment we've created here, while Shabana highlighted the inspiration she found in our conversations. It's words like these that affirm the connections and impact we are making. Upcoming Events and Personal Growth Looking forward, there are some exciting events and personal milestones on the horizon. I am participating in personal training for my health, tackling hypertension and diabetes, and have found great solace and balance through a 90-day meditation challenge led by Yogi Brian. This practice has brought calmness and clarity, reinforcing my belief in the power of meditation to aid personal development. In terms of creative projects, November brings National Novel Writing Month, during which I'll be finishing a novel that I started years ago. I also plan on compiling a poetry book comprising five years of poems from NaPoWriMo. On the visual arts front, I'm working on a collage of show art and aspiring to host an exhibition of my string paintings. New Ventures and Opportunities I've recently launched TKB Podcast Studio, my podcast consulting agency, already gaining traction with my first client. If you're looking to start your own podcast, I'm here to help you cut through the noise. Furthermore, I'm exploring affiliate partnerships with services like Podcast Beacon, Podmatch, and Pod Page — all of which have significantly enhanced my podcasting experience. Final Thoughts The interactions and experiences shared in this post highlight the power of art to connect and inspire. Whether through personal transformation or creative endeavors, every step is about expressing and sharing our journey. I hope you find encouragement in these stories to tame your inner critic and create more than you consume. If this resonates with you, share this post with friends and let them discover the stories and possibilities that creative involvement can unlock. Remember, as we move forward, keep showing your work, whether it’s writing, music, or podcasting. Encourage yourself and others, and let your art be a testament to your journey and growth. Thank you for joining me in this reflection and for being a part of this creative community. Feel free to reach out at Timothy at createartpodcast.com. Together, let’s continue to pave the way for art and inspiration.

Beyond the Studio: Finding and Growing Artistic Communities

Making Fun A Habit Series30 days to add fun to your creative practice. I will be going through Mike Brennan's Make Fun A Habit workbook and help you make fun a habit. I had the pleasure of interviewing Mike on my other podcast Find A Podcast About and talking about his podcast Creative Chats. This workbook leads you through steps to rekindle the fun in your life and get you into a space where you are your most creative. This is a 30-day book and I will tackle each day as if it were a week and provide insights on how to use his ideas in your creative practice. Each chapter is broken up with a short story, questions to ponder, action items, and tips. The Importance of Community Having a supportive community is crucial for artistic growth. It provides a space for support, collaboration, and learning. When I first started podcasting in 2006, I was flying solo, but in 2016, I found a community through a local meetup. This opened doors to global conversations and conferences, significantly enhancing my creativity and reach. AssignmentQuestions to Ponder Where have you found community in the past, and what did you like or dislike about it?As an early poet in Abilene, Texas, I found a welcoming community at a local coffee shop. It was supportive but sometimes felt elitist, which made it less welcoming to newcomers. Reflecting on these experiences helps in shaping better communities today.What special memories do you have attached to that community?My time at Espresso Europa was marked by memorable events like poetry readings, in-house art displays, and even drag shows. These shared experiences created lasting bonds and special memories, reminding me of the importance of such spaces.How can you create new memories with new communities?Today, I seek new experiences by attending podcast conferences and events. Simply stepping out of your comfort zone and attending such gatherings can lead to lifelong friendships and collaborations. Action Items for Building Community Join an Art Club or Take a Class Art classes, whether in painting or drawing, can significantly enhance your skills and confidence. Engaging in structured classes, like painting with a guide, offers a less intimidating way to grow as an artist.Join a Sports Team or Volunteer Participating in local sports or volunteering for a charity can build connections within your community. These activities not only expose you to potential audience members but also foster a sense of belonging.Engage in Political or Religious Activities Whether it's volunteering for a political campaign or attending religious or spiritual gatherings, these activities connect you with like-minded individuals and strengthen community ties.Volunteer at a Homeless Shelter or Soup Kitchen Year-round volunteering can be immensely rewarding. It provides a venue for potential collaborations while giving back to the community, enriching your artistic journey. Tips for Finding Communities Reflect on Your Interests and Values Identify what's important to you and seek communities that align with those values, whether it’s volunteering at a library or participating in local activism.Talk to Friends and Family You might be surprised by the opportunities within your existing network. Friends or family members may
