Kyle Steed On Art (Round 2)
OnProcess
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...

Adam Busby On Product Vs Process

A new format in addition to our usual interview style episode. These episodes will be slightly more esoteric, a bit more rough around the edges, usually based around a book or quote and will be short and punchy.

info_outlineI've been a huge fan of Mike Perry for a really long time so in an effort to try not to gush I'm going to start with his bio: Mike Perry Studio is an Emmy award winning, multi-dimensional creative studio. Built on a foundation of exploration and wonder, we create without limits. The man is an absolute legend and somehow we managed to pop Mikes podcast cherry as this is his premiere, very first podcast interview! This episode is pure gold and trust me you're going to want to listen to it end to end and have a notebook nearby because there are so many words of wisdom and incredible insights into Mike's brain. During the episode we get to hear Mike's philosophy on creativity, why he feels compelled to do what he does and some of the dirty details of his process and his daily routines. We dig into how Mike's, almost stream of consciousness work, is made and how his creative output is as staggeringly high as it is. Mike shares how when looking for answers and creative solutions he looks inwards and often finds them in his catalogued 30 years of sketchbooks. We talk about how Mike calls bullshit on the typical pressure of being really good at only one thing and what it was like to pitch to Comedy Central for the Broad City Titles. This episode is guaranteed to make you laugh and be inspired or your money back. Introducing: Mike Perry On Multi-Dimensional Art
