Do you feel like your work is very you-ish? How do you make creative work that really feels authentic? What does that even mean!? Today’s episode is a deep dive conversation and we cover a lot of topics around making authentic work. We talk about:  How to strip away the ego and throw off trying to be cool. Why instagram being kind of over for artists might be a good thing. Why doing your thing often starts with being part of something bigger than yourself. Why art and collaboration is a fight and why that’s a good thing And we touch a bit on ai and why it doesn't matter what it can and cannot do! Some other ai thoughts I haven’t heard anywhere else! This is a different type of episode, this time I am being interviewed, on the captain offscript podcast, and I had so much fun that I had to share it with all of you here! Hope you love it.
