  1. Find something real, and build your art around that - Daniel Sluman

    Find something real, and build your art around that - Daniel Sluman

    We’re back with CM Conversations. And an amazing one to return with. Daniel is a poet, but he brought interest and experience on all types of struggles artists deal with - creative routine, approaching the political from the lens of the personal, and the necessity for vulnerability when we share our work. There will be something in here for every passionate creative, and it’s a great starting point for the new season. As you jump in here, I also wanted to call forward anyone who’s trying to make a real step-change in their practice this summer, and would like some additional support to do so. I’ve just opened up my second intake for Do The Hard Thing - a 30 day challenge where I support artists and creatives to Step towards the harder work they’ve been avoiding with 30 days of guided reflection and direct action. Come join here: https://creativeminds.mykajabi.com/do-the-hard-thing I’ve built on the feedback from the first cohort, and built something more flexible, more long-term in regards the community building, and where the access to the material is completely up to you. Another thing I wanted to say here, was a massive thanks for anyone who read and supported the first collab post I did here earlier this week. I first reached out to Sydney 3 or 4 months ago now, and to push the collaboration all the way to release, then see such warmth and support shown here for the work - really was a blessing. If you haven’t checked that one out, go take a read now. It’s getting great support, and Sydney’s writing really hits on Substack - a great follow. So with all that said, peace, the links to Daniel’s work, which we have the honour of getting a short reading from at the end of this conversation, are below: Daniel Slumen Insta: https://www.instagram.com/danielsluman/ Daniel Slumen Publisher: https://ninearchespress.com/publications/poetry-collections/pain-songs And yeah, I hope you enjoy this one, go and show him some support from this community. Best, Will ✌️❤️ Get full access to The Creative Minds Newsletter at insidecreativeminds.substack.com/subscribe

    How (NOT) To Use Your Time As A Creative

    Use promo code CreativeMindsPod for 15% off your first campaign at https://playlistpush.com/spotify-playlists-promotion This one took some time to make, but the YouTube community are reacting well, and I hope those who enjoy the podcast, can get the value I’m trying to put down here too. Distraction, presence, time, patience, reality vs the online space - this piece encapsulates a lot of the themes that are so close to Creative Minds. And yeah, I hope you love it (like I loved making it). This piece was also the first main feature to include three snippets from the CM Conversations - powered by artists and creatives from the newsletter community. I’m linking all their conversations and direct work below - so do go and enjoy those too if one of them speaks to you. Love to all those in here, peace and good luck in your own projects. ✌️❤️, Will Ben Reeves https://insidecreativeminds.substack.com/p/deep-dive-on-creative-process-with Publications by Ben Reeveshttps://www.simonandschuster.com/authors/Ben-Reeves/241394884 OhPandahhttps://insidecreativeminds.substack.com/p/ohpandah-sobriety-street-art-leaving OhPandah’s YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@ohpandah GOGOhttps://insidecreativeminds.substack.com/p/if-you-stay-present-and-connected GOGO’S radio showhttps://www.dublab.com/shows/the-wavelength Get full access to The Creative Minds Newsletter at insidecreativeminds.substack.com/subscribe

    OhPandah - Sobriety, Street Art, Leaving Instagram, & Self-Permissioned Creative Practice

    First things first - go and drop OhPandah a YT follow, you won’t regret it - https://www.youtube.com/@ohpandah/videos This was another conversation that just over-delivered massively for me. It feels like CM Conversations are bringing so much nourishment and goodness into my orbit, and I just couldn’t be happier with how the series is unfolding. I hope you enjoy this one, and if you’re here, I think you will do. ✌️❤️ Will Get full access to The Creative Minds Newsletter at insidecreativeminds.substack.com/subscribe

    Why Creatives Avoid The Work That Would Change Everything

    Use promo code CreativeMindsPod for 15% off your first campaign at https://playlistpush.com/spotify-playlists-promotionCome join the course this spring https://creativeminds.mykajabi.com/DTHTWAITLIST This one was a bit of a labour of love. Huge thanks to JPEGMAFIA, Tyler, J. Cole, and all the artists featured in it. I hope this piece finds artists and creatives out there, and gives them that push to reflect more honestly on the work they've been avoiding, and move towards those spaces to find greater expansiveness in their ideas and creative practice. The waitlist for the spring cohort is here It’s been a journey bringing this course to the community in here, and I’m super happy to be at this stage, and nearly ready to open the booking. If you’d like to be part of it, pls drop your email at the above link, and you’ll be the first to know when spots open. Love to all those following as always.And peace,Will Get full access to The Creative Minds Newsletter at insidecreativeminds.substack.com/subscribe

    Molly Aitken - Finding Your Creative Voice, Writing a Book as a New Parent, & Sharing Authentically on Social Media.

    The season here continues in fantastic fashion. And honestly, if you know a fellow creative who doesn’t follow this already - this is surely the time to tell them. I’m very proud and pleased to be sharing all these creatives and artists with you - and today, writer Molly Aitken, who has published two novels with Penguin Random House, and recently had her short story published in The New Yorker - so we are super lucky to spend time here with her and get all the tips that were shared. Go and follow Molly’s work here - https://www.instagram.com/molly.aitken/ And go find the story above and the books. Peace, thanks as always for being here, and speak v soon, Will Get full access to The Creative Minds Newsletter at insidecreativeminds.substack.com/subscribe

    Damon Albarn - Creative Advice, Collaboration, and The Beginner's Mind

    Hey, hope all are feeling good. Yeah, I just listened to this back. And I wanted to double down on saying that I genuinely make this stuff to increase a sense of belonging and connectedness for those whose experience might resonate with the featured artist. I hope it doesn’t feel like I’m projecting too much onto Albarn here - and if I am, I apologise to him for that, and people can make their own judgment there too. I always imagine if I was the artist now, watching the video or listening to the podcast episode, and how it would make me feel… And my email is always open for any featured artist who would want to chat about their piece, or even tell me it didn’t make them feel good - in which case I would remove it with no hassle at all. Come find the article I mentioned which digs in plenty more to my diary piece, and the story behind the story here (as well as handing over the extra interviews/docs I used to research this) https://insidecreativeminds.substack.com/p/when-youve-pushed-everyone-away-diaries And peace, speak soon, Will Get full access to The Creative Minds Newsletter at insidecreativeminds.substack.com/subscribe
