Podcasts about creative influence

Margo is joined by multi-passionate creative Kim Bloomberg, the joyful force behind Studio Art Beat. A fine artist, educator, and self-proclaimed art supply nerd, Kim brings a refreshing perspective to the creative journey—one that's less about staying in your lane and more about following curiosity wherever it leads. With a background in both fine art and education, over two decades of teaching experience, and years running her own jewelry business, Kim shares how she ultimately found fulfillment by embracing her ADHD-fueled love for switching mediums and diving headfirst into new materials. After leaving behind the New York hustle for the artistic charm of Chicago's North Shore, Kim launched Studio Art Beat as an inclusive space to demystify art and make creativity accessible to all ages. She now leads workshops, partners with brands like Gelli Arts, and teaches online courses—including one that brings rhinestone bedazzling to the masses. Through her story, Kim reminds us that freedom, play, and experimentation are not distractions—they're the path. Margo and Kim discuss: Growing up in an art-loving family and the creative influence of her parents and grandfather. Letting go of a long-term jewelry business and the guilt that came with that decision. How embracing her neurodivergent brain led to business clarity and personal joy. Turning her natural desire to switch mediums into a strength rather than a struggle. Building an online art education platform that's welcoming, inclusive, and non-intimidating. Why sharing her process openly (rather than gatekeeping) has helped her business grow. Collaborating with brands while maintaining authenticity and community connection. The value of playful creativity for both kids and adults—and why it's never too late to start. How she's made rhinestones cool again with her Cricut-powered online course. The beauty in allowing your creative identity to evolve—and giving others permission to do the same.

Today, John and Julia will go on to discuss the fantasy writers of the Victorian period, Pre-Raphaelites, William Morris and Ruskin—all important influences on today’s modern fantasy, often mediated via Tolkien. In this discussion’s final lap, John talks about his work taking people into a very special forest—Ruskin Land—and researching their response to fantasy forests read in situ.   To learn more about Birmingham Institute for Forest Research (BIFoR), and to take a virtual tour of Ruskin Land, visit the links below: https://canvas.bham.ac.uk/courses/52405/pages/cross-curricular-climate-change-education https://www.thinglink.com/card/1803482248435991014   For more information on the Oxford Centre for Fantasy, our writing courses, and to check out our awesome social media content visit: Website: https://centre4fantasy.com/website Instagram: https://centre4fantasy.com/Instagram Facebook: https://centre4fantasy.com/Facebook TikTok: https://centre4fantasy.com/tiktok   (00:05) Exploring Tolkien's Dragons Lecture(11:29) Exploring Tolkien's Creative Influence(18:13) Exploring Influences on Tolkien's Fantasy(30:57) Fantasy Authors' Shared Social Critique(35:37) Enchanting Forests in Fantasy Literature

WELCOME back to Sparkle on Substack, the podcast. You can listen to this wherever on Substack or wherever you get your podcasts.My second guest for Season 3 is the wonderful Emma Simpson. We recorded this episode back in September and I can hardly believe it's been four months. I first met the delightful Emma Simpson at Alnwick Story Fest this time last year actually. Since then, we have stayed in touch, met in London and cheer-leaded each other's work from a far. If you want to join us for tea and cake at this year's Alnwick Story Fest, drop me an email. I'm excited to be meeting up with some fellow writers. Tickets are here. Emma and I are both speaking at the festival which takes place 2/3 March. One of the things I love about Emma's Substack publication is that it's eclectic. It's refreshing, unpredictable and she writes longer stories I want to snuggle up with.Emma is headed towards 1000 readers and I'd love to help her get there ahead of her book publication date in March. Subscribe below for the good stuff! Emma in her own wordsI am a wild swimmer and life-long hobbyist writer specialising in narrative non-fiction. Having spent a couple of decades being distracted by a career as an air traffic controller and experiencing two life-wrenching events, I rediscovered my pen and my passion for storytelling at the same time as discovering how transformational cold-water swimming was for my health, wellbeing, and sense of connection with the world. Trained in coaching psychology, I have combined my years as an observer of human behaviour in high stress environments with my love for listening to people's tales around the shores of a lake; mug of steaming hot tea in hand. I hold these stories with great care and trust as I reflect on the great oral storytelling traditions of our past.My current book is an exploration into the primal powers of femininity and water; with stories gathered from around the world that demonstrate the power of connection and humanity in an increasingly crazy society. Future offerings include tales from Ireland, the land of my ancestry, and a collection of soul stories showcasing the astonishing beauty and simplicity of people's actions in the everyday.* Pre-Order Breaking Waves on Amazon* Pre-Order Breaking Waves at Waterstones * Emma's website * You might also enjoy these articles on lifting the lid on the book publication process.

Join your host, Ken Pilot, as he interviews Steve Madden, Founder and Creative Chief of his eponymous Footwear and Accessories brand, Steve Madden.Key Highlights:Steve Madden's Early Career: Steve Madden's career in retail began when he got a job at a shoe store in Cedarhurst, Long Island. He got the job by mentioning he was Johnny Madden's little brother, and the owner hired him on the spot. This marked the beginning of his journey in the shoe business.Creative Influence in Shoe Business: Steve started working in the shoe business during a creative period, particularly in men's shoes. Platform shoes, especially for men, were in trend during the mid-'70s. The store owner, whom he looked up to, fancied himself as a shoe designer, and this environment fueled Steve's interest in the creative side of the shoe business.Mentorship at Gildor: After working at Toulouse, Steve joined Gildor, a well-known shoe retailer. Larry, the son of the owner, became a significant mentor for Steve. He emphasized attention to detail, such as maintaining perfect displays, which left a lasting impact on Steve's approach to business.The Influence of Sobriety: Steve's journey towards sobriety played a pivotal role in his success. He mentions that getting sober was one of the most significant factors in his achievements. It allowed him to focus and make better decisions for his business.Impact of Jordan Belfort: Steve acknowledges that meeting Jordan Belfort, also known as the Wolf of Wall Street, had both positive and negative consequences. Jordan's entrepreneurial spirit provided encouragement to Steve. However, the financial dealings with Jordan and his associates led to legal troubles and eventually Steve going to prison. Despite this, Steve recognizes the role Jordan played in his journey.Appreciation for Teamwork: Steve emphasizes the importance of having a strong team. He credits his success to the people around him, highlighting the pivotal role of his childhood friend, Jamie Carson, who became CEO in his absence and played a crucial part in protecting the company during a challenging period.International Business: Steve Madden's brother, John Madden, played a significant role in building the international business of Steve Madden. John's skill set, including his charm and ability to build relationships, complemented Steve's more hands-on approach to business. International business has experienced tremendous growth, expanding to approximately 50 countries and showing substantial potential for further expansion. Steve Madden is an advocate for using business and trade as a means to foster international relations and promote prosperity. He believes that trading with other nations can lead to mutual understanding and peace..The Steve Madden Group: owns several other brands, including Betsy Johnson, Dolce Vita, BB Dakota, Big Buddha, Blondo, and Greats. Steve Madden is open to further acquisitions, particularly in the apparel sector, with a focus on good management and innovative ideas.Steve Madden is an entrepreneur, an award-winning designer, and a business titan whose eponymous company is currently worth over 3 billion dollars. He is also a recovering addict and a devoted family man. Over the past thirty years, the provocative shoe designer built a booming brand and nearly lost it all to “The Wolf of Wall Street,” only to rebound by giving back and creating a global empire.In 1990, with a mere $1,100 in the bank, Madden followed his intuition and set out to create the next big thing: a company able to anticipate consumer needs and subsequently deliver collections that were both cutting edge and highly saleable. Channeling his creative energy to produce a variety of silhouettes and vibrant styles in his Queens-based factory, quickly his dream became reality and the Steve Madden brand was born.30 years later, with over 200 stores across the globe, the acquisition of notable brands such as Dolce Vita, Betsey Johnson, and Blondo, to name a few, standout collaborations with stars including Sydney Sweeney, Nessa Barret, Cardi B, Winnie Harlow, Ja Rule, Keyshia Cole, and Kendall and Kylie Jenner, the designer and entrepreneur continues the hustle.While Madden can recognize success, he is mindful of his humble beginning and support he has received on his journey to achievement. As a recovering addict as well as someone who has learned to manage his ADD, Madden is an active philanthropist and mentor who supports several organizations that help those in need of a second chance.A native New Yorker, Steve currently resides in Manhattan with his children, and is more present than ever at his company's Long Island City headquarters, the various showrooms throughout Manhattan and his namesake stores worldwide.

(Ellis Lane Press, 2006) Here is a glimpse of what Andrew shared in the interview: “I was different. I'm a subversive in Brooks Brothers clothing, so I didn't think that I would be accepted at BellSouth. But that was a really great environment for me. I say, especially early in your career, you want three things, network, name and knowledge.” “…as I look at you and your business, you've built tremendous relationships as your team with people in the market. So, it does exist, but there is a reputation you're dealing with. And that reputation certainly is translated to consumer relationships.” “…relationships are built, we could say one conversation at a time. Great conversations start with curiosity, genuine curiosity.” “And Steve Ross said 10% thinking, 90% doing. Strategy before tactics doesn't mean you over think, but you have got to put a little time in, aiming before firing.” Connect with Creative Growth  visit:  https://www.creativegrowth.io Connect with Creative Influence visit:  https://www.creativeinfluence.io Connect with Andrew Dietz visit:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/asdietz Capital Club Radio Hosted by: Michael Flock Sponsored by: Flock Specialty Finance Providing a forum for leaders in the middle market segment which has typically been undeserved by traditional banking.

Thank you Steve Harvey and Jerry Seinfeld for telling me to stop being a pretentious, self-important writer whose words can and will save the world - if only people would receive them.

Recently, I had a conversation with Red Gaskell. Often I speak to people who operate from a place that, in large part is disconnected from the day to day act of creating in its truest sense. I suppose this is because I, myself, am often more interested in the strategic moves and observational insights than the recognition of instinct that turns into natural expression and creation. This is precisely why talking to Red was a pleasure, he certainly made me see in things in a different light. Here what I learned.   You Find the Answers in the Work: You get better the more work you make … “If you were to look at my camera roll, it would look like I took the same photo a thousand times, because I am looking for things that are so subtle that make it just right…when you are a beginner you don’t know what those tiny things are” …. seeing the unseen.  The Role of Emotion: How is it that some have the ability to bring awe, wonder, and beauty … to the mundane? a t shirt folded just right in the case of Everlane, or what seems like a big blob in the case of a Rothko painting. The answer is, it starts with emotion. What is the brand? who is this for? and what do we want them to feel? Those are some questions to get started with.  Authenticity and true expression: You must understand your point of view and what your values are, just likehttps://www.supermoonbakehouse.com/  The role of social: What kind of business is right for social media? Thats the real first question. If and only if you are the right kind of business for social. Then you might want to develop community, in the community you want to be creating content, and then you want to find the right people who are leaders and advocates of your brand. This will ignite an organic fire of engagement.  Letting Others Tell Your Story Through Customer Cues: Think about the journey of the customer, and then design from a social perspective. Think about all the instagramable moments from brands like Glossier  The Drake Brand vs. The Kanye Brand: Riding waves vs creating waves… for this you just have to listen to the episode linked below.
