Creative Risk Artist's Strategy

Purists, be damned...despite what artsy fartsy culture has told us, there are practical realities of operating as a freelancer of any kind including making sure you’re standing out from the rest of the competition. In this episode, the boys examine what it means to "stand out" both in terms of talent and strategic positioning within this saturated, competitive industry. Yes, everyone’s going gaga over Rick Rubin’s “The Creative Act” but the boys throw a little shade at its core concept and, as always, each other. Most importantly, their primary aim is to provide actionable insights and strategies for creatives hoping to edge their work forward. What makes you different from your competition? Why is your artistic POV needed? How are you actually going to break through the noise and demand attention? You won't want to miss this episode where LABOD and Joshua navigate the delicate balance between artistry and business.

The guys dive deep, tackling the impact of fear versus love on decision-making and actions (or inactions) on our artistic journeys. Covering everything from taking risks, battling perfectionism and the constant comparison game, LABOD and Joshua draw from their own experiences, good and bad. The key takeaway? It's all about finding that sweet spot between artistic liberation and cold practicality; leading with creative joy, while embracing feedback, and surrendering to the never ending process of growth and discovery. Plus, Mike might have been a bit...*ahem*...elevated during the recording, adding an extra layer of "insight". Tune in to this transparent, personal and hopefully inspiring conversation.

These boys went to one of the best acting conservatories in the world (according to some very "important" industry lists). However, these world-class institutions may not be all they're cracked up to be! In this episode they discuss various topics related to the pros and cons of choosing a conservatory over a liberal arts program, including some memorable school moments, quality of acting training, development of identity and work ethic, and power dynamics. In true chaotic fashion they also have a huge political disagreement about the election and discuss Havana syndrome. Enjoy!
