Today, Juliana Ong of Stories of Play is my guest, and we talk all about the importance of play for our kids and how we can foster creative, open ended, independent play. While this is a fun, somewhat light hearted topic, it's also one where intentionality can make all the difference. I can vouch for this because after my conversation with Jules, I changed a lot about our family's play space and the way I approach and view play in our home, and I've seen so much more focused play from my girls. Jules has so much knowledge when it comes to this topic and she gives us permission to simplify things as she brings a wealth of ideas for us to implement to get started in simplifying play.

Nick Steel is the co-founder of the creative independent agency HarrimanSteel. The shop has worked with the likes of Uber, Seedlip, Tom's, Nike, Girl Effect, FootLocker, Patagonia and more. Nick founded the agency straight out of art school at 27 and was lucky enough to get Nike as his first client. In our conversation, we talk about his approach to the business, the importance of agency culture, and how the pandemic has shaped his thinking and that of the agency.

Today we're going to be talking about labels, and the special role they play in the creator economy —  past, present, and future.These days, when you hear about record labels, it's usually in the context of a high-profile artist going on social media to speak out about being locked into a terrible deal, or some jaw-dropping headline about how the majors are generating a million dollars of streaming revenue in an hour as artists struggle to make rent. But until relatively recently, record labels — and especially independent record labels — occupied a much more influential position in the zeitgeist. In the years before streaming became the de facto mode of discovery, one could argue that they served as a sort of organizing principle for musical knowledge, crystallizing scenes and movements under a recognizable banner that pointed listeners in the right direction and amplified artists operating outside of the commercial establishment. Think: How Dischord Records nurtured D.C.'s rich hardcore scene, or the role that Mac Dre's Thizz Entertainment played in ushering in the Bay Area Hyphy movement, or how Wax Trax! helped define the sound of Industrial music in Chicago. In the platform era, that feeling of being part of something larger than yourself, and being able to benefit from the support of a community that has your back, can be increasingly hard to come by. Which is why Yancey Strickler, a former music journalist and the co-founder of Kickstarter and The Creative Independent, had something of a eureka moment recently while revisiting Michael Azerrad's groundbreaking chronicle of the 1980s punk and indie scenes, Our Band Could Be Your Life: What if, instead of operating like independent economic agents, vying for our attention, streams, and clicks, artists squadded up and released work together? Before long, Strickler had teamed up with some friends to start Metalabel, an organization that describes itself as a “growing universe of knowledge, resources, and tools that inspire creative collaboration, cooperation, and mutual support.” The group, which includes musician Anna Bulbrook, Etsy co-creator Rob Kalin, designer Ilya Yudanov, developer Lauren Dorman, and collective internet culture expert Austin Robey, has yet to reveal what those tools consist of, or what the business model will be, beyond hinting that the project will involve blockchain in some way. (Austin told The Culture Journalist that the company has plans to become collectively owned.) But, like Other Internet's “Squad Wealth” article and Mat Dryhurst and Holly Herndon's “Interdependence” idea before it, the Metalabel concept offers some useful language for describing a paradigm shift that is clearly already underway. You can see it in how independent artists are teaming up to form DAOs, or media pundits hyping up the so-called “great rebundling.”Naturally, we couldn't help but want to dig deeper into the idea: Whether you're a musician, a writer, a fashion designer, or an activist, how might reframing our creative output as releases on a label free us up from the diminishing returns of the platform economy?Today, we're excited to welcome Yancy and Austin — one of the brains behind the digital musicians' cooperative Ampled, as well as Unnamed Fund and Dinner DAO — onto the show. We discuss what The Whole Earth Catalog, the creative studio MSCHF, and the centuries-old science academy The Royal Society have in common (hint: our guests say they are all examples of a metalabel), Yancey's “Dark Forest Theory of the Internet,” and how trying to keep up with the constant churn of content warps our priorities and values as creative people.  Become a paid subscriber to listen to this episode in full.Follow Yancey, Austin, and Metalabel on Twitter Learn more“Introducing Metalabel” Metalabel presentation at ETHDenver 2022“The dark forest theory of the internet” (Yancy Stickler)“What coops and DAOs can learn from each other” (Austin Robey)“Squad wealth” (Sam Hart, Toby Shorin, Laura Lotti)“Hyperstructures” (Zora's Jacob Horne)Episodes to peep if you like this oneIs it time for platform socialism? with James Muldoon Is counterculture even possible on the internet? with Carly BustaWhat are NFTs?

Originally I wanted to have Yancey Strickler as a guest to discuss his book This Could Be Our Future: A Manifesto for a More Generous World, after I read it last spring. A year has passed since I thought it would be fun to have Yancey on and in that time he created something called Metalabel, and that was equally interesting and maybe more so because I've been actively working on various social architectures to facilitate groups and teams whose purpose is creative action, creating culture, groups and teams that translate ideas into material form. And, somehow, from what I heard and read, Metalabel sounds like it is doing something similar. So, this is what we focused on — futuristic kinds of arrangements of creative cultures. Because this topic is so curious and intriguing and evocative and still at the edge of making sense, I deployed a General Seminar on the topic for Wednesday April 20th at 3pm PDT, General Seminar N°20 - Metalabel WTF Join me and 16 others to work through the question and discuss this idea of the 'Metalabel.' Yancey Strickler is a writer and entrepreneur. He's the cofounder of Kickstarter, cofounder of Metalabel, cofounder of the artist resource The Creative Independent, creator of Bentoism, creator of The Ideaspace, and the author of This Could Be Our Future: A Manifesto for a More Generous World.

Deep beneath the asphalt streets of New York City lurks a breed of creature that's haunted the subway's subterranean labyrinth for over a century. No, it's not sewer alligators or radioactive rats. Instead, we're speaking of…bookworms. And documentarian Uli Beutter Cohen has been on the hunt to capture their travels. In 2014, Uli founded the viral Instagram account Subway Book Review, which documents her conversations with subway riders about the books they're reading. After spending nearly a decade exploring the literary landscape of the underground, Uli has learned: “Readers will tell you what's coming in culture.” Now she's compiled 170 of her favorite bibliophile encounters in her first book, Between the Lines: Stories from the Underground, which features conversations about books with notable authors like Ta-Nehisi Coates, Min Jin Lee, Roxane Gay, and more. In his debut episode as a guest host, Book Dreams producer Gianfranco Lentini sits down with Uli to discuss her experiences and to consider…what does it mean to belong in a city of 8 million people? Subway Book Review has been featured on TV, in print, and online by New York Magazine, Esquire, Forbes Women, Glamour, Bustle, Vogue, The Guardian, Refinery 29, The Atlantic, BBC and more. Uli's interview work and writing about human connection and belonging has been published by The Washington Post, Here Magazine, The Creative Independent, and HuffPost. Today, contributors to Subway Book Review are reporting from 20 cities around the world.

Books are a totally different medium from television shows, movies, and podcasts. They're unique in the way that they require us to truly be immersed in the worlds they contain. We can't multitask while reading and opening books . As a result, the ideas on every page infiltrate our DNA in a profound manner. So if you have any kind of question, there is probably a book out there that can provide the answers. In this episode, Uli Beutter Cohen joins us to talk about books, and how they shape ourselves and allow us to peer into others' realities. We also talk about how the universe finds ways to converse with us amid the loss of a loved one. She discusses her book, Between the Lines: Stories from the Underground, which was inspired by hundreds of subway conversations. Uli also highlights the importance of empathy in a world of othering. If you want to know more about the power of opening books in finding answers, tune in to this episode! This episode is brought to you by..

Episode Highlights Ray's Passing Uli shared her recent heartbreak of bidding farewell to her 18-year-old cat, Ray. Despite preparing a lot of things for her cat, it was still an unpleasant experience. Knowing beforehand that her cat would soon pass away didn't make it easier. She shares that you can't escape losing someone, and so you just have to surrender. A few days after Ray's passing, Uli found a blue parakeet on the ground. She believes that he gave the bird as a gift. This experience taught Uli that we must be ready for miracles that come our way. Despite our loved ones passing, their love for us never disappears. Their love is alive. Tune in to the full episode to hear what other gifts Ray has been leaving Uli! Subway Book Review Uli started Subway Book Review seven years ago when she had just moved to New York City. She thought this space could help her understand why the city is so magical. She chose the subway because the underground movements are the birthplace of so many human rights and artistic movements. In addition, Uli finds the subway phenomenal for only moving forward. It's also very democratic—everyone takes the subway. What stood out to her was how many people were reading books on the subway. Books and Accessing Others' Minds A lot of people read and start opening books mostly to escape into another world. But for Uli, she used her book as a way to begin conversations with strangers on the subway and to know their thoughts. Her interviews point out one thing: we are meant to equally receive all the love and radical acceptance available in the world. The book contains conversations from people who are reinventing the status quo and dreaming up what can be. She believes these are the people we must listen to. Listen to the full episode to hear more stories about these conversations! Empathy and Othering Othering refers to the separation of oneself from others. This concept is deeply interrelated with empathy. You must start accepting and empathizing with yourself first so that othering can be a foreign concept to you. Only after you start figuring out your relationship with yourself can you work out your place in the world. People are meant to be a wonder for you. They should not be seen as separate entities. Separating from Oneself Most people live their lives preparing themselves for whatever the world brings their way. In fact, productivity and self-help tools can sometimes get in the way of being still. But because we don't have an unstructured time where we can just be still and be present, we miss out on what the world has to offer. Sometimes, divergence from our set paths is not coincidental but actually comes at the perfect time. Books and Multitasking There's a lot of connection in social media. But opening books and reading them is one of the few things you cannot multitask. It requires your entire being to be present. Books infiltrate and shape you profoundly in a way that other forms of media can't. And if you have any kind of questions, there are books out there meant to give answers. Thus, reading is for people who really seek answers to their questions. Our Shared Realities There are as many realities as there are people. Throughout the years, it is through books that we're able to share these realities. Uli wants to create a space for healing, opening our hearts, and exploring the mind. Her book is a book of answers and possibilities. How Uli Feels Radically Loved Uli feels radically loved when, despite the chaos and a lack of control, she still shows up for herself and remains honest with herself. She welcomes all emotions and difficulties, and she'll take one day, one step at a time. 5 Powerful Quotes [4:18] “When you know [death is] coming, it does not make it easier. It makes it crazier because you see it approaching, and there's no escape. There's no control in it, right? You have to just surrender. It's the ultimate surrender of all surrenders” [10:18] “There is no end to the love … Human loss, pet loss, the love is still very much alive. Focus on that, as opposed to the grief of losing something because the love is not lost, the love is there.” [11:14] “The entire universe wants to converse with us… And I think that it's very easy for humans to feel and actually to forget that we're part of nature and that we are part of the eternal universe.” [18:16] “It starts with the relationship with yourself first. And then from there, you can figure out what your place in the world is.” [22:15] “A book is one of the last things if not the only thing that you cannot multitask… Therefore, [it] infiltrates your DNA in a profound way. That is why books stay with us totally differently than… anything else we consume that is media.” About the Guest Uli Beutter Cohen is an artist and documentarian, and the creator of Subway Book Review. Her interviews and stories involving human connection and belonging have been published in numerous journals and magazines, such as The Washington Post, Here Magazine, The Creative Independent, and HuffPost. If she's not looking for people to talk to in the subway, she creates creative content for companies like Nike and Warby Parker. She now resides in New York with her husband and Poppy Pete the Parakeet.  Check out her book Between the Lines: Stories from the Underground, and connect with her via Instagram or her website!

Yancey Strickler (@ystrickler) is an entrepreneur and writer, co-founder of Kickstarter, The Creative Independent, and the author of This Could Be our Future,  A Manifesto for a More Generous World. He's a Distinguished Fellow at the Drucker Institute, one of Fast Company's Most Creative People, and an angel investor in startups, including Hopin, Mati, Organise, Realtime, Supercritical, System, and Wren.Host Anne Muhlethaler met Yancey over Zoom, with 50 or so others, curious after hearing him speak of his Bentoism project on the James Altucher show in Spring 2020. Having gotten to know each other over the past few months via the Bento Society, Anne starts the conversation by asking Yancey about his upbringing in rural Virginia, his passion for reading, writing, and the early days of his career as a music critic in New York City. Yancey talks Anne through the inception of Kickstarter and shares what he learnt about manifesting ideas during the years he spent supporting thousands of creative projects launched on the crowdfunding platform. He then talks about how he came up with the Bento (Beyond Near Term Orientation), a tool he designed while he was in the process of writing his book. After pondering on the meaning of value and the Self, Yancey was in need of a metaphor as he was exploring how to balance decision-making between near and long-term, and going beyond the 'now me' of the present self's needs. The two also chat about data, reputation and identity in the digital age, tribes and post-individualism, self-interest. They finish on whether the Bento can be of help to build a better future for the planet, or per Yancey's original idea, how it could lead us on an intentional path to a better 2050. A fascinating and fun conversation, enjoy! ***Selected Links from the episode You can find Yancey @Ystrickler on Twitter or via his website Ystrickler.comThe Creative Independent - https://thecreativeindependent.com/Bentoism & The Bento Society - https://bentoism.org/joinYancey interviewed on the James Altucher's Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/the-james-altucher-show/589-yancey-stricklerThe Trouser Press Record Guide - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/899268.The_Trouser_Press_Record_GuideKickstarter's Stats page - https://www.kickstarter.com/help/statsAdam Smith - Wealth of Nations - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wealth_of_NationsJerry Colonna Reboot - https://www.reboot.io/podcast/Don Cherry - Relativity Suite 2 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativity_SuiteThe Weirdest People in the World  - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_WEIRDest_People_in_the_WorldPriya Parker - The Art of Gathering  - https://www.priyaparker.com/thebookPeter Hook  - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_HookJoy Division - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joy_DivisionOur Band Could Be Your Life -  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Band_Could_Be_Your_LifeNot for Bread Alone -  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_by_Bread_Alone ***If you enjoyed this episode, click subscribe for more, and consider writing a review of the show on Apple Podcasts, it helps people find us and also helps to secure future guests.

Elia Einhorn is a host at Sonos Radio and Pitchfork Radio and editor of the new zine, Sober 21 To offer your own advice, call Zak @ 844-935-BEST TRANSCRIPT: ZAK: Quick warning. Today's episode contains a hardy amount of swearing. ELIA: Hey, I'm Elia Einhorn. I wear a lot of hats. I host Sonos Radio, Pitchfork Radio. I hosted the Talkhouse podcast for years. My newest project is Sober 21. It's a compendium that just came out via the Creative Independent as a beautiful zine and online for free and it's these 21 sober musicians sharing crucial tips and hints and advice for musicians who are thinking about getting sober. Maybe sober curious or are newly sober and are afraid that their career is over. We put it together to say it is no. Shit is about to get way the fuck better! ZAK: A lot of us are getting back out into the world and it feels really good. And for the sober among us, Elia has some advice about making that transition smooth and healthy. ELIA: My advice is this. Don't walk around a bar with a pint glass full of Diet Coke. Get your drink in a rocks glass. Get whatever you're having. A Diet Coke. For me, it's a cranberry and soda with lime but get it in a rocks glass. And there's a wonderful piece in Sober 21 about this by Jen Champion and she titled it, Soda Water with a Lime But Will You Put it in a Rocks Glass" and it's something that in sober communities of people who are out at shows, are out at clubs, are playing concerts, we just know this. It's just this implicit experience. Put it in a rocks glass then you don't have some asshole asking you why are you not drinking. But really, why aren't you really drinking! Come on, man. What's the deal? You know that drunk person who's pushing too far. You can do it at parties too. I find you're either at somebody's house where they're putting out glasses if they're feeling a little fancier. Or, there's like a red plastic cup essentially or the equivalent. The Solo cup. Don't drink out of your can of Diet Coke. Don't drink out of your can of Diet Coke. Don't drink out of your gatorade. Put your Gatorade in the plastic cup and drink out of that and you'll almost definitely not have to answer the question all night. And also, a little bit of an addendum; refresh your drink yourself. Cause people are so thoughtful, if they see your drink's getting low they'll grab one for you. Get ahead of that. Refresh it yourself and always have enough in there that you're like, oh, I'm good. Thanks. It's amazing how much of the 3rd degree that totally gets ahead of. I am staunchly pro people drinking when they can drink safely. It's an awesome thing. And I want to say that because I feel like people have this idea that people who are sober are like, oh man. Fuck these guys that are drinking. Absolutely not. It's awesome. If I could drink normally I'd drink all the time which is how I know I'm an alcoholic. And I say that because what I'm about to say next is it's usually the person who's a little but too drunk who doesn't understand the social cues around this. It's like, why aren't you having a real drink? Cait O'Riordan from The Pogues talks about this in Sober 21. Why aren't you having a proper drink cause she lives in Dublin so she deals with this shit all the fucking time. It's just not worth having that conversation with everyone you happen to come across. A lot of people got sober during the pandemic. AA meetings are flooded with new people. A lot of people hit their low, hit their bottom during the pandemic and found help, thankfully and now they're re-emerging and doing things in a whole new way. Getting sober is not supposed to be about being boring and sitting around the house watching Netflix. You're supposed to be out in the mix living your life to the fullest, I'd say. You almost didn't get to have a life. Now you to have it. Fucking live it.

Audio artist, screenwriter, performer, and story editor Sharon Mashihi is the creator and host of the podcast Appearances from Mermaid Palace and Radiotopia. Sharon on managing fear and self-doubt, saying yes to your wild ideas, and using rituals to break through creative blocks. Aaron Finbloom and The School of Making Thinking TRANSCRIPT: ZAK: Sharon Mashihi is one of my favorite audio people. One of my favorite artists in general, I'd say. She made this podcast called Appearances, which if you haven't heard yet, just stop this episode and go listen to that. But anyways, I was reading an interview with her on a website called The Creative Independent, and she talked with the interviewer about this thing called, Structured Walks. SHARON: Alright. It's recording and unfortunately, I'm not able to fully monitor the levels but they look good. SHARON: You and I would take a walk and we'd time it. SHARON: I was thinking we could do 25-minutes you and 25-minutes me and then we'll both walk in one direction and we'll both walk back. Does that sound good? ZAK: Perfect. SHARON: You know, my friend, Aaron Finbloom, devised this but I always think of Socrates and those dudes. They were walking. ZAK: So, I'm walking on Belle Isle which I may have mentioned to you before. It's the big, public park in Detroit. SHARON: Uh huh. ZAK: So, the concept here is simple. You can try it today with a friend who lives in your town. Or you can do what Sharon and I did and call someone up. You take a walk on your end, like I did in Detroit. And then they'll be wherever they are. Sharon was in New York City when we talked. SHARON: Go first Zak. I think it should be you. Alarm set. ZAK: For the first half of the walk I'm talking through this current creative struggle I'm having. I've been mapping out this historical fiction project but I don't know how to start and I'm intimidated. SHARON: Maybe can you articulate what your hurdle is with fiction? ZAK: And this is all we're talking about for 25-minutes. My current struggle and then when those 25-minutes are up, we turn the tables and it's Sharon's turn. You can do it for however long you want. I think the important thing is that it's equal amounts of time for both people. SHARON: What I had in mind to talk to you about. I'll paint the picture. It has to do with work and art and how organize this next chapter of my life. Um... ZAK: The structured walk is such a simple, effective tool. And it can work for anything. You don't have to be engaged in a creative project for this to work. Maybe you're just having such questions you want to wrestle with about your work life or a relationship.

Loré is one of my favorite writers. We originally connected when she reached out to interview me for The Creative Independent. She has written about intimacy, identity, and interconnection for The New York Times and Man Repeller. She also facilitates writing workshops and has a monthly newsletter called All The Reasons I've Cried Lately. In this week’s episode, we get into dating and bond over the fact that we’re both hopeless romantics. We cover social media, indecision, intention, writing, moving to New York, and dealing with life’s highs and lows. And we discuss some of her essays and poems. Show Notes:- Connect with Loré: Web | Newsletter | Workshops- Loré interviewing Katie for The Creative Independent- Sign up for our LET IT OUT letter to get show notes sent straight to your inbox - Please join me in supporting The Central Ohio Freedom Fund.

What can creativity mean to you? The state of the world has made this a difficult question to explore, but luckily today's guest has a beautiful answer for you. Brandon Stosuy is an author/artist manager/event curator whose life mission has been to give people of all walks of life a platform to share their stories. His website, The Creative Independent, is full of stories of people crafting their own paths and continues to be a brilliant resource for creatives worldwide. On today's episode, we chat about Brandon's career, the practicalities of expressing yourself through art and we also go deep into his upcoming book, Stay Inspired: Finding Motivation For Your Creative Work (which will be out on May 18th, through Abrams). This episode is all about exploring what keeps you moving after you get out of bed in the morning.

Julian Brimmers schreibt / arbeitet für u.a. The Creative Independent, Bandcamp Daily, Passion of the Weiss, hat den Spotify Originals Podcast „Trauma Loveparade“ gehostet und im letzten Jahr gemeinsam mit Benjamin Westermann den großartigen Dokumentationsfilm WE ALMOST LOST BOCHUM veröffentlicht und in die (Auto-)Kinos des Landes gebracht. Der in nur 5 Stunden komplettierte Kickstarter für den BluRay-Release des Films spricht Bände. Julian und ich debattieren über die Musikgeschichte der 2010er und versuchen zusammenzutragen, welche Strömungen bestimmend waren, welche Trends sich etabliert haben und ob man eine Szene benennen kann, die originär für eben dieses Jahrzehnt steht.

Today I've got Christine Garvey on the podcast which I'm very excited about, Christine is an artist, teacher and coach and got my attention when she hosted a scarcity workshop back in December!

Her creative work has been recognized with a Fulbright Research Grant, an Austin Community Initiatives Award, and a Fellowship from Concordia University Montreal. Since 2010 she has been a faculty member at institutions like University of Texas at Austin, Florence University of the Arts, and Pioneer Works Center for Art and Innovation.

Why does a scarcity mindset show up? I've seen scarcity mindset show up in property investors over knowledge, time, right location, not feeling good enough, not having the right lifestyle, finances… is that a normal feeling? Why is a scarcity mindset such a big problem? Are there standard triggers that can cause a scarcity mindset? What is the opposite feeling of scarcity? What tools can investors use to turn the scarcity mindset around?

The demise of Coolest Cooler may give crowdfunding a bad name, but don't blame Kickstarter. It's merely the platform for allowing such projects to potentially happen, and it offers value in other ways, too. In this episode, I explore its slightly zany digital magazine, The Creative Independent, and discuss why interviews with poets, musicians and artists contribute to one of its core mandates as a brand.
