A Just Do It Mentality w/ Spencer Ford
Spencer writes musicals, records albums, and authors children's books. There isn't much he doesn't do really. I had the privilege of collaborating with him earlier this year on a staged reading of one of his new musicals and was so excited to talk more with him about his experience as an artist.
In this episode, we talk about Spencer's artistic philosophies, the plusses of having a muggle job to support your art, and how anti-perfectionism can get you really far in the creative process. -

This Is Everything
I have my daily podcasts with news of the world, a little pop culture, and then this. It’s the perfect way to get me going some days. It’s that reminder that I’m pretty awesome, I’m an artist, I can do anything, and to start doing that anything!
So helpful for artists!!
Love hearing Jenny’s perspective and thoughts about getting out of your own way to create the art and life you love! “You are the creative director of your own life” 🙌🙌
