Lean in.   Example: Make it Worse (to create new things, learned how to NOT do it, shake up brain) When start projects, start with mental models first, what you've written isn't that precious, too afraid to change it.   Test the dumb idea with feedback. What's the fastest way to test?

I'm excited to welcome back Oliver Wood of The Wood Brothers as he makes his return to Roadcase for this week's episode. Oliver is an extraordinary artist with killer guitar chops and a mellow and intentional vibe that, dare I say, exudes Zen-like qualities.  We talk about his life in music, songwriting, and that elusive goal of being and staying “in the moment.” Improv is a big part of Oliver's art, both in the studio and in a live performance setting, and staying grounded and open to possibilities is at the heart of it. He claims that “the best art happens by accident,” and he talks to me about how that mindset drives his creative direction. The Wood Brothers have a new album coming out August 1, Puff of Smoke, and are touring all over the country through the summer. Oliver's second solo album, Fat Cat Silhouette, is out there now for your listening pleasure — it's a phenomenal work of musical art. The Wood Brothers are one of my favorites bands, and this is a really awesome conversation with Oliver!!  Enjoy!!Show notes:For tour dates and more info on The Wood Brothers, click hereYou can find the book "Songwriters on Songwriting" here on Amazon-------------------------------Episode Chapters:00:00 Episode Intro with Host Josh Rosenberg04:00 Welcome Back and Solo Tour Reflections06:56 The Joy of Intimacy in Solo Performances09:56 Evolution of the Wood Brothers12:53 The Art of Spontaneity in Music Creation15:56 Being Present: The Key to Creativity19:00 Accidental Artistry and Mindfulness in Music21:48 The Process of Recording: Analog vs Digital24:55 Capturing the Vibe: Limitations in Music Production30:42 Creative Blocks and Common Struggles31:57 The Art of Challenging Yourself33:21 Capturing Authenticity in Art34:50 The Duality of Rock Stardom35:47 Gratitude for a Slow Rise36:58 The Mindfulness of Being a Witness41:07 Interpreting Art and Personal Reflection43:41 The Role of Accidental Creativity52:07 Mindfulness in Personal Life54:17 The Constant Challenge of Life55:08 Episode Outro with Host Josh Rosenberg--------------------------------Follow Roadcase on Instagram here:  @RoadcasepodFor more information on Roadcase:https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.comOr contact Roadcase by email:  info@roadcasepod.comRoadcase theme music:  "Eugene (Instrumental)" by Waltzer

It's a reminder that everyone needs someone to see, guide and believe in them--that often times, that's how they got there in the first place, and that's how they continue to grow. This coaching session helped Caroline figure out a part of her creativity she didn't even know she desired so deeply.

In this mini episode, I'm sharing something that's been on my heart lately: that uncomfortable place where our creative ideas get stuck. You know the one — where you're holding onto something beautiful, but fear, perfectionism, or just plain old procrastination keeps it tucked away. This reflection was sparked by a recent conversation with my sister. She has an amazing idea she's been sitting on since the pandemic, and it got me thinking… How often do we do this to ourselves? How often do we protect our ideas so much that we stop them from growing? In this episode, I talk about the power of small steps — the kind that might seem insignificant at first, but that slowly, steadily builds momentum. If you've been feeling stuck or overwhelmed about where to start, this one's for you. No pressure, just a gentle nudge to begin. Even the tiniest action matters. Let's walk through it together.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Creative Life 02:58 The Dangers of Limbo and Resistance 06:14 Navigating Procrastination and Community Support 09:04 Taking Small Steps Towards Momentum 11:54 Embracing Your Creative Journey Website: Martine Severin Follow on Instagram: @martineseverin | @thisishowwecreate Subscribe to the Newsletter: Martine's Substack   Production Credits This podcast episode is produced and written by Martine Severin and edited by Daniel Espinosa

Tune in for a fascinating conversation and for tips on finding yourself and spirituality when you leave the religious and/or cultural framework you were raised in.

This week, I open up about the creative block I've been working through—the kind that makes you question if all your effort is even worth it. It's that strange contradiction of knowing you're not alone in the struggle, yet still feeling isolated in the process. But a Reel I came across changed my perspective. It featured Gilberto Marquez, a hat maker from LA, who spoke about pursuing a dream that hadn't materialized yet—making a clean Tejana that a famous artist would wear on stage. He said something that stuck with me: sometimes you repeat to yourself that it's never going to happen, that maybe you don't deserve it… until the universe has no option but to prove you wrong.I reflect on how much I relate to that mindset, and how a recent track day with Albert reignited some of that creative fire. We talked about what's possible, what we're building, and how even the smallest wins can carry momentum.Advice for this episode:You're allowed to be proud of the little things you achieve. Not everything you do has to be life-changing.Stay Golden y'all

Brown, Chris Sullivan, Def Jam Records, StoryShots, Ego, story shorts, Red Hot Chili Peppers, In the book summary of I Will Teach You to Be Rich by Ramit Sethi, the focus is on developing a personal financial strategy that empowers individuals to take control of their financial futures. The book emphasizes the importance of defining what being rich means to you personally, and encourages conscious spending by tracking expenses and making informed financial decisions. Sethi advocates for prioritizing spending on things you truly love while cutting back on less important expenses. The summary highlights key strategies for financial success, including starting early to leverage compound interest and breaking free from excuses that hinder financial growth. Sethi recommends focusing on macro financial decisions rather than getting caught up in minor cost-cutting measures. The book outlines 12 critical financial strategies, such as automating your money system, maintaining a good credit score, getting employer 401k matches, and negotiating raises. A central theme of the book is creating an automatic money management system that simplifies financial planning and helps individuals stick to long-term financial goals. By setting up multiple accounts for different purposes - including checking, savings, credit cards, retirement, and investment accounts - individuals can more effectively manage their finances. Sethi's approach is practical and non-judgmental, focusing on creating sustainable financial habits that align with personal values and long-term objectives. Key takeaways: Define what being 'rich' means to you personally and practice conscious spending by prioritizing expenses that truly matter to you Start investing and building wealth early to leverage compound interest and establish smart money habits over time Avoid making excuses that prevent financial progress; take action even if your initial steps aren't perfect Focus on macro financial strategies like automating your money system, maintaining a good credit score, and contributing to retirement accounts rather than getting stuck on minor expenses Set up an automatic money management system with multiple accounts (checking, savings, credit card, retirement, investment) to simplify finances and ensure consistent financial habits Prioritize five to ten key financial actions that yield significant results, such as negotiating raises, cutting major expenses, and using credit cards strategically Adopt a mindset of financial growth by being willing to start small and consistently improve your money management skills Challenge conventional financial wisdom by making informed, personalized decisions about spending and investing based on your individual goals (00:00) Introduction to The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin (01:05) About Rick Rubin (01:50) Everyone Is a Creator (02:55) Living Life as an Artist (03:53) Look Inward (04:52) Trust Your Intuition (06:17) Don't Let Doubt Hinder Your Creativity (07:25) Breaking Through the Creative Block (08:21) 10 Small Steps for Shaking up Your Process (10:53) 4 Steps to Bringing Creative Work to Life (12:17) Finding Fulfillment Through Experimentation and Completion (13:48) Final Summary and Review (15:00) Rating Related Book Summaries Creativity Inc. by Ed Catmull and Amy Wallace Discipline is Destiny by Ryan Holiday The War of Art by Steven Pressfield The Good Life by Robert Waldinger The Practice by Seth Godin Never Finished by David Goggins Learn more about your ad choices.

In this encore episode of The Creative Genius Podcast, with a brand new intro - I revisit a powerful conversation with the wise and insightful Jane Dunnewold. In a time of uncertainty and upheaval, I'm reflecting on the emotional rollercoaster so many of us are experiencing—fear, despair, hope, and the flickering light of creativity. I am candidly shares my own struggle with doom scrolling, the paralysis it caused, and the steps I am taking to reclaim my inner peace.Jane's wisdom offers a timely and profound exploration of the inner bullies that live within us—those relentless voices of self-doubt, fear, and unworthiness that hold us back. I connect this concept to the larger external forces at play in the world today, recognizing that until we learn to defeat the bullies in our own minds, we will struggle to stand up to the ones outside of us.This episode is an invitation to step into deeper self-awareness, to recognize the power of creativity as a means of resistance, and to become part of the essential ‘islands of sanity' in a chaotic world. Join me as I share my thoughts, vulnerabilities and inspiration along with, Jane's transformative insights, and a heartfelt call to reconnect with creativity as an act of personal and collective resilience.Join an island of sanity inside the Creative Genius Patreon

What if I told you they're the KEY to getting Unstuck?Have you ever abandoned a creative project, only to forget it existed? What if your best idea is already sitting in your notes, voice memos, or sketchbook—unfinished, unseen, and full of potential?In this episode, I take you inside my own creative ‘graveyard'—a place filled with forgotten voice memos and half-finished songs. What I found completely shocked and inspired me… and it might do the same for you.
