Today, we're thrilled to speak with Wookiye Win. Wookiye Win, Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate, is an artist and educator. She teaches the Dakota language for the Dakota Language Nest Preschool program at the Institute of Child Development on the University of Minnesota campus. She's also the illustrator of Dakota language children's books. Wookiye comes from an artistic family and has always been creating art. But she never thought of herself as an artist. But when the COVID pandemic hit, she started looking for something to do at home and turned to watercolors.  Not only did she find a theme for her art in nature but also found the pigments for her watercolors. The idea of making her own paints started when she collected pipestone dust left from her father's pipestone making. Since then, she has expanded her homemade palette to include marigold, red ochre, yellow ochre, nettle, among others. It's her passion to revitalize the Dakota language. She makes an effort to speak it at home and work and to always learn more. Together with her husband, also a language revitalizer, Wookiye Win shares five kids and a home in St. Paul.-----Hosts / Producers: Leah Lemm, Cole Premo Editor: Britt Aamodt Editorial support: Emily Krumberger Mixing & mastering: Chris Harwood

Can your community become a creative collaborator without turning your art into committee-designed mediocrity? In this solo episode, I explore proven frameworks for involving your audience in the creative process while maintaining complete artistic control. You'll discover how Amanda Palmer uses early-stage feedback on Patreon to gather emotional responses (not technical critiques), how British singer-songwriter Lynz Crichton turned her entire EP creation into a 90-day collaborative project with her email and social media communities, and how Imogen Heap invited fans to contribute raw materials—sound samples and personal stories—that she transformed into finished songs. I break down practical approaches you can test: the Preview-and-Pivot Framework (used by Luke Combs for “Forever After All”), constraint-based collaboration methods, and systems for turning fan-generated content into strategic assets rather than distractions. This episode also covers the critical boundaries every artist needs: establishing what's open for feedback versus what's locked, retaining veto power over all input, and knowing when to ignore community resistance entirely as you evolve artistically. Whether you're considering a model like Patreon, building an email list, or just wondering how to get useful feedback without compromising your vision, this episode provides actionable frameworks for sustainable creative collaboration.

Aiko shouted.Ja: スケッチブックには、彼女のアイデアと作品の初期スケッチが全て入っています。En: The sketchbook contained all her ideas and initial sketches for her work.Ja: 愛子は、鹿を追いかけようか迷いました。En: Aiko was unsure whether to chase after the deer.Ja: しかし、公園で騒ぎを起こすのは避けたかったのです。En: However, she wanted to avoid causing a commotion in the park.Ja: 「ここに留まるべきか、それとも追いかけるべきか…」と悩む愛子に、慎二は「一緒に探しに行こうよ。僕たちなら大丈夫だよ」と提案しました。En: As she pondered, "Should I stay here or go after it..."

On Episode 42 of Mindful Warrior Radio, we welcome Gary Hall Jr.—a three-time Olympian, ten-time Olympic medalist, and one of the most iconic figures in the history of U.S. swimming. Known for his electric speed, bold personality, and trailblazing spirit, Gary brought showmanship and passion to the world stage, forever changing the culture of the sport.Beyond his achievements in the pool, Gary is also a powerful advocate for health and resilience. After being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes just one year before the 2000 Olympics, he defied expectations and returned to win multiple gold medals—becoming a beacon of hope for athletes and individuals living with chronic illness.Today, Gary continues to inspire as a speaker, mentor, and champion for wellness and performance, encouraging others to push past limits and lead with authenticity.In this powerful conversation, Gary gives us a window into navigating competitive environments, challenging traditional systems, and embracing his own unique way of being and doing.On his unconventional approach to training, Gary is proud of his novel contributions to what has now become the new standard. “You seemed completely off your rocker if you weren't going to try to do 20,000 meters a day. Like, you could never be good if you didn't do that volume of training. If you had suggested what some top-level swimmers are doing now—training three times a week, 1,500 meters—it would have sounded crazy. It's interesting to see how the sport has grown, and I'm happy to have been a brick in the wall of the evolution in the sport.”On artistry versus science in swimming, Gary says he's “always felt like an artist in a math class. You could oversimplify it to right brain vs. left brain—I was a creative type. I didn't care about the formula. I tried the formula, the scientific method approach, and I was miserable. I hated it. I hated the sport. I wanted to quit. And it wasn't until I started just tuning into wavelengths underwater—the way the water moves, feeling that, and learning how to channel and move through the element of water—that it was so much more interesting. That's more art than science. And I always felt like the artist could win.”About the advantages of being a right-brain thinker, Gary notes, “The people that need that structure also may be apprehensive of art, but they also don't handle chaos well. And we know in this life; there's chaos and there are agents of chaos. If you are rigid, if you are inflexible in your mind and how you accept and process chaos when it arises (you struggle). And so, I think that being able to pivot quickly, that was an advantage in the art department, not the science department.”To learn more about Mindful Warrior and Mindful Warrior Radio, follow us on Instagram @therealmindfulwarrior and visit www.mindfulwarrior.com.

Artistic breakthroughs don't happen by accident. They emerge from dedicated practice, willingness to fail, and persistence through periods of frustration and doubt. But how do you recognize when you're on the cusp of something transformative versus simply taking another step in your creative journey?Recorded face-to-face at Poolhaus Art Studio in Waco, Texas, this intimate conversation dives deep into the psychology of creative evolution. Both artists share candidly about their current struggles and triumphs, with one revealing a year-long process of private experimentation that's finally beginning to bear fruit. They discuss the delicate balance between methodically refining established techniques and daringly exploring new territories – what one describes as "exploiting the known while exploring the unknown."The discussion reveals powerful strategies for navigating creative uncertainty, including developing systematic approaches to idea management, embracing the cyclical nature of creative development, and maintaining belief in the process even when progress seems elusive. Both artists emphasize the importance of the mantra "the work is taking me somewhere" as a touchstone during difficult periods.Today's artists face unique challenges in the social media age, where the pressure to maintain visibility conflicts with the traditional approach of developing work privately before revealing a cohesive body. The conversation explores finding personal balance, using platforms like Instagram as a "visual journal" without feeling obligated to share finished work prematurely. As Simon de Pury noted, "Instagram will have the same impact on the art market as YouTube had on the music industry" – removing gatekeepers and creating direct connections between artists and audiences.Whether you're struggling to find direction in your practice or contemplating a bold new direction, this episode offers a raw, honest look at the breakthrough process from artists who continue to push their own boundaries. Schedule a studio visit with a fellow artist this week – virtual or in-person – and see where the conversation takes your work.Send us a message - we would love to hear from you!Make sure to follow us on Instagram here:@justmakeartpodcast @tynathanclark @nathanterborg

Brian Bowen Smith discusses his artistic approach, stating that his shows emerge organically rather than from a pre-planned strategy. He expresses his interest in mixed media and color photography, noting that his color works must be so visually overwhelming that the viewer focuses solely on the vibrancy rather than the subject. He also touches upon his nude photography, aiming for an aesthetic that transcends the nudity itself, a goal he jokingly equates to a gynecologist's professional detachment. His wife's understanding and even assistance in finding nude models are highlighted, contrasting with other photographers whose partners object to such work, and he mentions his current shift away from nudes to focus on landscapes and everyday scenes.Show Clip from The Paris Chong Show with Brian Bowen Smithhttps://youtu.be/SVu6G1sTWHEhttps://www.theparischongshow.com

Today we're heading to the sun-drenched island of Mallorca, a place where rugged mountains meet the sparkling Mediterranean and olive groves stretch as far as the eye can see. There's a reason creative souls like Joan Miró and Robert Graves made this island their home—it's a place that inspires art, reflection, and a slower, richer way of living. Joining me from the hillside village of Deià, at the legendary Belmond La Residencia, is General Manager Thomas Moons. We explore the island's layered history, local traditions, and hidden corners that many visitors never see. Thomas also shares insider details about the property and its stunning art collection.  So get out the olive oil and crusty bread, imagine taking a deep breath of that Mediterranean air, and enjoy this new episode of Luxury Travel Insider.   Looking to book a luxury hotel?
