    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

I recently attended the Empowered Podcast Conference in Charlotte, North Carolina, and I wanted to share some key takeaways and insights from this enlightening experience with you all. The Journey to the Empowered Podcast Conference Attending the Empowered Podcast Conference was an exciting endeavor. I usually attend the Indy Pod Conference in New Jersey and have been to DC PodFest in the past, so this was a new experience for me. Thanks to a 20% discount code shared by Alex Sanfilippo from PodMatch, I decided to make the five and a half hour drive to North Carolina. The drive was pleasant, filled with beautiful weather and a slew of podcasts to keep me company. First Impressions and Connecting with Fellow Podcasters Upon arriving at the Hyatt in Charlotte, I checked in and immediately gravitated towards the communal table on the second floor, where conversations about podcasting were already underway. Meeting the conference founder and various podcasters felt like reconnecting with old friends. Being around people who share my passion for podcasting was a rejuvenating experience, despite my family sometimes growing weary of me mentioning the word "podcast" countless times. Setting Intentions: A Unique Approach The conference kicked off with a unique session on setting intentions, involving a guided visualization exercise to help us focus on our goals and what we wanted to achieve from the conference. We were provided with journals to jot down our thoughts on what we wanted to embrace and let go of, which was a first for me at any conference. This session helped frame my mind positively for the rest of the event. Networking and Learning An exciting part of the conference was the opportunity to meet Alex Sanfilippo from PodMatch, who gave an insightful talk. One of the highlights for me was how the entire event was woven around the theme of intention and authenticity, especially relevant as my goal is to foster community growth within the podcasting sphere. Defining Intention To define what intention means, intention is a plan or goal aimed at achieving a specific purpose. For me, intention signifies clarity and purpose, especially in the context of my podcasts. My key takeaway was the need to be clear about our intentions and how we can be of service to our audience and guests. Refocusing and Building Community During...
