Welcome to our first-ever Finish More Music podcast series! This podcast series, "The Creative Calling," explores how pursuing one's passions, particularly in creative fields, leads to a more fulfilling life for you and for others. In the series I use research and personal stories to illustrate the profound positive impacts of creative pursuits on mental, physical, and emotional well-being, and also address how to balance your personal creative goals with other life commitments. In this episode, we dive into one of the biggest questions creatives face: When we follow our calling, are we being selfish? How do we balance personal creative pursuits with our responsibilities to others? We explore the friction that can arise when making meaningful changes, the pushback we might receive from those around us, and how to navigate these challenges with integrity. Through personal stories and deep reflection, I unpack why honoring your creative calling isn't self-indulgent—it's essential for growth, contribution, and authentic living. Tune in now!

Along the journey, she lost her hearing and had only her inner resources to draw from to protect and guide her through the trying circumstances of her early life.

I quickly learned that doing readings alone did not solve people's sense of lost direction as deeply as helping them reconnect with their own natural inner guidance system.

Have you ever considered the notion that we should live our lives to the fullest and follow our dreams even if it scares the hell out of us, because just maybe those that we love weren't able to follow their dreams? I think of the many times that I've encouraged my children to follow their hearts and not to let fear hold them back, because I wasn't “allowed” to follow my dreams until I was much older. Fear and guilt were the two unwelcome party crashers in my life that showed up when I would think about moving in a different direction. Sara Binecki has thought about this deeply after losing her mother much too young and having a brother living with disabilities. She has moved through fear to pursue her dreams holding them close to her heart as she creates. Sara was an absolute joy to talk with. Like with so many of these conversations, I felt like we could be fast friends if given the opportunity. We talked about so many soulful things such as the impact that loss has on our lives and the inspiration it can bring to our work, how our journey into creativity is personal and informed by our experiences, the importance of mindfulness and being in the right headspace when we come to our benches, the importance of community in the arts, and how creativity can serve as a lifeline and a means of coping when life gets tough. This is a really rich conversation friends and I know you are going to get so much out of it. Follow Sara... Instagram: @sarabjewelry Website: sarabjewelry.com Love the Podcast?

Jones: https://thenewcentre.org/seminars/creativity-and-intoxication/In this episode, we explore Félix Guattari's essay "Everybody Wants to Be a Fascist", dissecting its critique of micro-fascisms in everyday life. The discussion examines how desire, power, and subjectivity become entangled in oppressive structures beyond traditional authoritarianism. Drawing from Guattari's solo work and his collaboration with Gilles Deleuze, we analyze how resistance must operate at both individual and collective levels to escape fascistic formations in contemporary society.The essay: https://www.revue-chimeres.fr/IMG/pdf/everybody-wants-to-be-a-fascist.pdfSupport the showSupport the podcast:https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/Linktree: https://linktr.ee/acidhorizonAcid Horizon on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcastJoin The Schizoanalysis Project: https://discord.gg/4WtaXG3QxnSubscribe to us on your favorite podcast: https://pod.link/1512615438Merch: http://www.crit-drip.comSubscribe to us on your favorite podcast: https://pod.link/1512615438 LEPHT HAND: https://www.patreon.com/LEPHTHANDHappy Hour at Hippel's (Adam's blog): https://happyhourathippels.wordpress.comRevolting Bodies (Will's Blog): https://revoltingbodies.comSplit Infinities (Craig's Substack): https://splitinfinities.substack.com/Music: https://sereptie.bandcamp.com/ and https://thecominginsurrection.bandcamp.com/

Did you know Neptune was discovered around the same time as photography? This dreamy, otherworldly planet is deeply tied to art, creativity, and how we channel inspiration from the unseen realms. In this episode, we explore Neptune's 14-year cycles through the zodiac and how its placement in your birth chart influences the way you create, dream, and even experience creative blocks. Whether you're a photographer, painter, writer, musician, or multi-passionate creative, Neptune's influence can shape your artistic process in profound ways. We'll break down:
Graphic designers are taught to create, not sell—and that's exactly why so many talented designers stay broke. The harsh reality? Talent alone won't make you successful.The industry is full of insanely skilled designers who struggle to make ends meet while less talented ones cash in—because they get it: design is a business.And no one understood that better than Andy Warhol.Warhol didn't just create art—he built a brand, scaled his work, and turned creativity into cold, hard cash (while actually enjoying the ride). While traditional artists clung to their so-called “purity,” Warhol mass-produced art in his legendary Factory, treating his career like an enterprise. And guess what? It worked.In this episode of The Angry Designer, we tear into:The 4 Warhol strategies designers can steal to scale, market, and sell betterWhy branding yourself is just as important as the work you createThe myth of originality—and why Warhol proved it doesn't matterIt's time to stop thinking like a starving artist and start thinking like a creative entrepreneur. If you're sick of being overlooked while mediocre designers make bank, this is the episode for you.Hit play and start building your Warhol-level empire.Stay Angry our Friends –––––––––––Join Anger Management for Designers Newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/mr4bb4j3Want to see more?

Kelly talks about workplace fairness with Harvard’s Siri Chilazi, who co-wrote the book “Make Work Fair: Data-Driven Design for Real Results” with Iris Bohnet. “Very few people are against fairness, but we don't all agree on what it entails.” “The biggest determinant of remote work is education.” “Bias from above is complemented by bias from below.”
Creativity can be a powerful tool for spreading eco-awareness. As the climate crisis worsens, today's guest, sustainable sculptor and NOT REAL ART grant winner Danielle O'Malley, joins us to discuss the intersection of art and environmental awareness and how communities can work together to stem the rising tide.Growing up in rural Montana, Danielle learned to garden, preserve food, and care for livestock, which heightened her sensitivity to local environments and the increasingly hazardous climate. Still based in Montana, she now creates large-scale, site-specific sculptural installations that explore the ecological impact of industrialization with a combination of upcycled materials and industrial surplus. Throughout the episode, Danielle shares insights into her creative process, which ebbs and flows with the season. Our conversation also explores the complexities of being an artist in a conservative state like Montana, where the creative community is supportive but underfunded. Danielle reflects on the challenges and opportunities that arise from living and working in a rural setting, emphasizing how mentorship and community support can empower emerging artists to embrace their creativity without the constraints of societal expectations. Danielle's philosophy on resource sharing and grassroots networking manifests in projects like Montana Clay, a gathering designed to foster connections between ceramic artists who live and work in “Big Sky Country.”Danielle's story invites listeners to reconsider the role of artists in society and the vital importance of nurturing creative voices that resonate with the existential dilemma of our time.
