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 paradoxes of life, art and beyond. Kyle has this great ability to very quickly get to the heart of an idea and bring everything back in perspective that I admire, so enjoy this chat with Kyle Steed, again.

Madeline Holt is an incredibly considered and wise creative human that applies her hand at many different artistic outputs, most recently her practice has her working with light installations. Madeline has such a bank of wisdom that we pick through piece by piece, most of which was self taught and we learn was gleaned through trial and error. During our chat we learn about the intentional process that Madeline holds in her practice down to the colour of foods she eats, dive into her winding creative journey, and learn why music is tightly linked to her creative output. I think what I loved most about this conversation is the fantastically healthy and positive perspective that Madeline has not only on creativity but life in general. Madeline talks about how to beat the resistance through friendship and finding your tribe, she shares her experiences and learnings with us about trust, ambiguity, finding yourself and your style. So many great analogies and mantra's shared in this one, too many to count, so I hope you enjoy. Jump in as Madeline makes me blush, we do my favourite thing in the whole world, talk gardening analogies and we launch Madelines Mantra.

"It's understanding where you are at in your cycle or season, it's not going to be a linear output of creativity and content, that's not how the creative process flows." "The ability to be adaptable and be able to change and pivot is a really valuable tool or reflex within the creative practice.  "Trust and show up for the practice." "It's about staying engaged with the question and not seeking answers." "The moment between idea and action, keeping that as short as possible." "The things that benefit us most are not the things that we intellectualise, it's the things that we experience through our body."

I had the pleasure of speaking to Nimrod Weis, one of the co-founders of the extremely creative, highly inventive and wonderfully playful studio ENESS. ENESS is an art and technology company who design evocative interactive experiences for public, commercial and cultural entities. The work that ENESS produces is able to hit that sweet spot of art that is able delight both a 6 year old and a 60 year old simultaneously, they are also masters of balancing art, commerce, technology and design. During our conversation we dive into the inception of the studio and how from day one Nimrod and his business partner have been reinvesting every spare dime and minute back into the work. We go through Nimrods creative routine and practices and uncover the correlation between a high performing athlete and an artist. It is really fabulous to hear the inner-workings and thoughts on process and the creative practice from Nimrod and we end up diving pretty deep into the psychology of creativity and curiosity. Join us as we uncover quantum physics, discover why the goal isn't to have no problems at all but rather to have more interesting problems and why nimrod sits on the floor.

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.

Gavin is a true creative polymath, stretching his hands from directing, design, music, photography, writing and speaking. Gavin has been working with the Oscar winning animation studio Aardman for 14 years, mecca of stop motion, perhaps best known for bringing to life the wonderful and childhood shaping characters Wallace and Grommit. Gav is hilarious, articulate so curious and creative, and one of the most grateful humans we have had on the show. During our chat, we go through what it's like being a multi disciplinary creative in a world where specialising is typically more coveted, how being technology and medium agnostic can open you up to unique crossover and connections and he absolutely hits the nail on the head with the topic of style and finding your voice. Gav takes us through a snapshot of his process when directing the stunning and emotional stop motion animated short film, Turtle Journey.  I Hope you enjoy this episode where we pay tribute to the cement layers and manual labourers of the world, wig out over disrupting the space time continuum and Gav and I accidentally invent the newest version of LowFi beats to chill to.   Gavin Strange JamFactory @jamfactory JamFactory Twitter Aardman @Aardmananimations     Links The Imagineering Story  Peter Lord  Turtle Journey Film  Creature comforts  Morph  All This Mayhem  Seven title sequence  Teenage Engineering OP-1      Quotes "I love everything and I want to try and do everything whenever I can."

Kris is an extremely vibrant, creative and passionate human being and his work reflects this. Kris, starting his creative journey in advertising, now works with all the big boys like Nike, Adidas and Apple just to name a few. During this conversation we hear about Kris growing up as a kid getting his start in creativity and being not the typical child creative prodigy that you might expect. Kris and I dive into how his reason to create stems from the injustices and his frustration around inequality. We also talk about paying your dues and being realistic about the long path to success often being lined with potholes and designing millions of Vodafone ads. We go through Kris's work ethic, his dealings with imposter syndrome and why trusting your instincts, not overthinking and speaking your mind, might just land your work, like it did for Kris, in the Louvre. We also get nitty gritty from things like Kris's morning routine and how he combats the often odd and unpredictable hours of being a freelance creative to how important it is to make investments into your work and sacrificing a few luxuries to reach your goals. Listen in as we try to remember scientific facts, quote the show Friends for the first time in the podcast's history and learn who Klaus is.

"My work comes from a very restless place in myself so I almost have to build up an amount of restlessness to then explode." "I did s****y work, I've been on the crap side of things.
