The wise, intentional, creative and incredibly heartfelt Kyle Steed is back with us for a round 2 interview! We we were able to go a bit deeper in this one having set things up last time to talk about the muse, creative resistance, whether inspiration exists and beyond. Kyle takes us through the twists and turns of his creative career including his time in the airforce. We uncover some very interesting thoughts around self belief, internal narrative and how this shapes how we view ourselves. And perhaps my favourite part of the whole chat, equally enjoyable and uncomfortable, we get into...

Chloe is a unique artist, and one that I couldn't wait to chat to. Simply put but definitely not simply made, she makes soft food. Created using only wool and thread, she creates one of a kind, intricate sculptures replicating everything from Japanese cleaning supplies to cans of tuna in a really subversive and somehow hilarious way. During the episode we touch on imposter syndrome and how Chloe battles with some of the stereotypes and typecasting that comes with the territory. We cover some deep topics like what does true authenticity look like in the creative process and some lighter things like why we are all so obsessed with the design of foreign food packaging. We talk about the very interesting and polarizing topic of specializing vs generalizing and what challenges and benefits that come with each direction. This episode is pure joy and Chloe delivers some very unexpected and hilarious responses to my questions. Introducing Chloe Smith On Making Soft Food.
