    Ep. 125 - Creative Chaos & Comfortable Ruts

    This week on Well Being, Theo, Andy, and Kel kick things off with a fresh round of Sparks of Inspiration. From anime recommendations and secret-agent adventures to blockbuster sci-fi tearjerkers, the crew shares what’s been fueling their creativity lately. Along the way, they dive into filmmaking, Disneyland memories, editing workflows, and the eternal struggle between capturing moments and actually doing something with the footage afterward.   The mental health discussion continues through Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act: A Way of Being, focusing on the chapter Habits. What starts as a conversation about routines quickly turns into an honest look at procrastination, creative anxiety, perfectionism, and the strange ways our brains keep us stuck. The hosts explore the difference between habits and routines, the importance of creating space for creativity, and why sometimes the biggest obstacle isn’t a lack of talent—it’s simply getting started.   Whether you’re wrestling with unfinished projects, trying to build healthier creative routines, or just looking for a little motivation to make something, this episode is packed with relatable stories, practical insights, and a few unexpected tangents about Tom Cruise movies and sneaking cameras into festivals.   Theme by Affektiv https://open.spotify.com/artist/2dkwCQLY61JvqMmiiBvps3?si=N97bAnDqQkqcSSxVZA0C0Q   https://soundcloud.com/affektiv   Email us: WellBeing.Podcast@outlook.com   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WellBeingpod

    Ep. 123 - Beginner’s Mind & Broken Algorithms

    We are BACK—all three of us in the same room again—and yeah… we’ve been through some things. But what better way to return than with a little gear envy, existential creativity, and a reminder that maybe we don’t know what we’re doing… and that’s kind of the point. This week’s Sparks of Inspiration hit everything from camera cravings (and the frustrating reality of DJI bans 👀), to Dungeon Crawler Carl chaos, to WrestleMania traditions with the boys. It’s a little tech, a little nostalgia, and a whole lot of “why do I suddenly want to spend money I don’t have?” Then we dive back into The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin—exploring Patience and Beginner’s Mind. We talk about slowing down, re-experiencing art, and how sometimes the best creative breakthroughs come from not knowing the “right” way to do something at all. From AI breaking a 3,000-year-old game to our own early days duct-taping cameras to cars, we unpack how ignorance, curiosity, and chaos can actually be creative superpowers. The conversation gets real as we reflect on losing (and maybe rediscovering) our creative identities—especially as filmmakers who’ve spent years working on other people’s visions. What happens when you don’t know what your thing is anymore? And how do you get it back? We wrap things up with thoughts on collaboration vs. solitude, critiques vs. criticism, and why the best creative environments are the ones where everyone’s just trying to make the best idea win. If you’ve ever felt stuck, uninspired, or unsure what you’re even creating anymore… this one’s for you.

    Ep. 122 - Garage Gods & Goblin Hosts

    This week, it’s just Theo and Kel holding it down—sending love to Andy while diving headfirst into sparks of inspiration, creative nostalgia, and full-on goblin hosting energy.   We kick things off with hype around DJI’s next move (👀 Pocket 4 rumors), the ever-evolving world of content creation, and a surprise shoutout to Pizza: The Movie—a modern stoner comedy that absolutely delivers. From there, things get reflective as we explore how creativity has become more accessible than ever… and why that’s both exciting and a little overwhelming.   Then it’s time to slip into Goblin Mode: Hospitality Edition.   We revisit memory spaces—those chaotic, perfect hangouts from the past. Garages turned creative sanctuaries. Smoke-filled backyards. Dingy couches that somehow felt like home. The places where ideas were born, friendships were forged, and nothing else mattered.   From there, we get real about: What it means to host people in your space The pressure of cooking vs. just showing up Dinner party insecurities (and why they exist) The unspoken rules of “acceptable” goblin hosting (frozen food? box wine? slightly burned meals?)   And ultimately, we land on something deeper—what makes a gathering truly meaningful isn’t perfection… it’s presence.   This one’s about creating spaces where people can just be—messy, creative, nostalgic, and real.   Come hang in the garage with us.

    Ep. 121 - Heatwaves, Hunches, and the Art of Actually Listening

    This week, the trio is BACK together—and you already know that means sparks are flying.   We kick things off with inspiration from Resident Evil 9, throwbacks to Pokémon Red, and a surprisingly deep dive into the current state of movies (plus a little Pedro Pascal appreciation along the way). But things really heat up when Kel recounts a festival experience that goes from vibey to full-on survival mode—think heat exhaustion, mushroom miscalculations, and laying under a tree questioning reality. Day two? Redemption arc.   From there, we dive into mental health and creativity, exploring two powerful ideas from Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act: What happens when you try the opposite of your artistic instincts? And are you really listening, or just waiting to respond?   The conversation gets real as we unpack: The struggle between process vs. product Rediscovering the joy of creating instead of chasing the result Nostalgia for the DIY filmmaking days at the Fox Theater And that elusive creative spark you can’t force—but can learn to notice   This episode is part reflection, part chaos, and part creative reset button.   If you’ve ever felt stuck, burned out, or just too focused on the end result… this one might hit different.

    Ep. 120 - Goblin Hospitality & Heatwave Survival

    It’s hot. Like… offensively hot. And in this sweat-soaked episode of Well Being, Theo and Kel return (sans Andy, who is once again booked and busy) to talk surviving the heat, thriving on set, and finding inspiration in the chaos.   Sparks are flying this week: Theo’s fresh off nearly two weeks on set, soaking in that creative camaraderie and rediscovering the magic of production life A dive into the surprisingly fun Wonder Man series and why industry insight changes everything Kel brings the heat with Age of Attraction, a reality dating experiment that asks: what happens when you remove age from the equation? (Spoiler: it gets wild) Fitness arcs, early morning hikes, and prepping for Beyond Wonderland with next-level perler creations   Then the crew shifts into the mental health portion, continuing their journey through Goblin Mode: A Guide to Life—this time tackling Goblin Hospitality.   Why don’t we invite people over? Why does everything have to be perfect first? And who are we really trying to impress?   They unpack: The myth of the “perfect home” Childhood conditioning around hosting The pressure of appearances vs. the reality of connection Why your friends care more about you than your countertops   It’s messy. It’s honest. It’s deeply relatable.   Because at the end of the day… your friends aren’t home inspectors—they just want to see you.
