Cary Broussard interviews creative writer Poppy Sundeen - also known as "Poppywriter." Cary talks with Poppy about her work with developing new writers. Poppy helps writers find their voice on the written page/computer keyboard. Poppy's new book THY NEIGHBOR is based on her work as co-founder of the Writers' Workshop at The Stewpot (https://www.thestewpot.org), serving the street community in downtown Dallas. THY NEIGHBOR is a stunning collection of original writings and artwork by the talented artists and writers of The Stewpot's Art Program and Writers Workshop.This amazing, beautiful book can be purchased for $30 at https://www.thestewpot.org/thyneighborIf you've ever wanted a glimpse into the experiences and perspectives of the homeless, this book provides stunning writing and artwork that will quite frankly blow your mind.In her two-decade-plus career, Poppy Sundeen has won more than 100 advertising creative awards, including Clios, Addys and the Adweek Southwest Creative All-Stars Most Valuable Player, working on American Heart Association, Carlson Restaurants (T.G.I.Friday's), Dallas Museum of Art, Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, la Madeleine, Texas Health Resources and many others. Poppy with her fellow volunteer associates think about the creative talents of people living on the street and use their professionall expertise to teach writing skills and empower individuals to write with confidence, to tell their stories and write articles for publications and more. Fortunately, for our listeners, Poppy shares writing tips from which all writers can benefit. See in show notes below: Cary and Poppy discuss AI and its effect on writers, how homeless is getting worse and if it's acceptable for someone to live on the streets. Whether you live in Dallas, anywhere in the United States or elsewhere, homeless is a societal issue that we all encounter - we hope you find inspiration through Cary Broussard's conversation with Poppy Sundeen to see the creative potential in everyone including yourself.10 Tips for Writing a Strong Essay 1) Stick to one clear theme.Make sure your essay addresses one main idea so your writing stays focused and easy to follow. 2) Start each paragraph with a “focus sentence.”This is a short line that tells the reader what the paragraph will be about. Ex: “My favorite place to think is the bus stop on Main Street.” 3) Rearrange your paragraphs to improve flow.Sometimes a piece becomes clearer just by moving one paragraph earlier or later. Try different orders until the story feels natural and easy to follow. 4) Use simple, direct sentences.Clear and honest beats complicated every time. If a line doesn't sound like something you'd say out loud, try rewriting it so it feels more authentic. 5) Show, don't just tell.Try saying something without actually saying it. Ex: Instead of saying “I was scared,” describe what happened: “My hands shook when I reached for the door.” This helps readers feel what you felt. 6) Read your work out loud.Your ear will catch things your eyes don't—missing words, awkward phrasing, or sentences that are too long. 7) Don't worry about perfection on the first try.Start messy. You can always clean it up later. The important thing is getting the thoughts down. 8) Use specifics instead of general statements.“Food was served” is vague. “They handed me a bowl of warm chili” paints a picture. 9) Keep your reader oriented.If the story jumps in time or place, give a quick clue: “A year earlier…” or “Later that night…” 10) End with something that “lands.”This can be a final thought, a strong image, or a sentence that circles back to the beginning.Acknowledgements for Thy Neighbor: Brenda Snitzer, Executive Director of The Stewpot; Suzanne Erikson, Senior Director, Stewpot Programs; Betty Heckman, Director, Stewpot Enrichment Programs; Wendy Rojo, STREETZine Magazine Editor; Writers' Workshop Editors: Bill McKenzie, Poppy Sundeen and Dee Leone; Portrait Photography: Jesse Hornbuckle; Book Design by Les Kerr.

You know the old trope that one must suffer for their art? That creativity is somehow the byproduct of mental illness or addiction or self-harm? It is time for that idea to go! An examined life can contribute greatly to our enjoyment of life, and to our creative work. In this episode, Susan and Laura discuss the relation of mental health to creativity and the innovative ways in which creators like Neal Brennan, Selena Gomez, Jonah Hill, and many more are infusing their mental health journeys into their creative work, showing that an artist can be brilliant and also prioritize their mental health. And remember, if you are in the United States and need immediate mental health support, you can call 988 and you will be connected to a trained counselor. (Painting: "Self-Portrait in Hell" by Edvard Munch.)

How to Deal with Impostor Syndrome I have interviewed many creatives; some are excellent musicians and artists, people, well known as the foragers, potters, storytellers, actors, and many of them feel like frauds waiting to be found out. There were several guitar players and saxophone players who, when asked to teach, panic because I did not know the theory, although they could do the stuff instinctively. Some artists failed at college, actors who bluffed their way into a stage role, drummers who were aware of better drummers waiting to take their place, all of these would've recognised themselves as having an impostor syndrome. So, where does this originate? Who are these people? Creative people tend to be more sensitive, and something like a lack or perceived lack in their education can affect them profoundly, even though logically it doesn't make a difference.

Ron James talks about creativity and his rap group, Catch the Fade.
As we go through life, crisis moments are inevitable. Whether it's a coronavirus, a job loss, a failed marriage... whatever the case may be... we must choose what lens we'll view these moments through. Crisis can often be the breeding ground for creativity. With proper vision and a properly postured heart, what should have caused fear, lack and insecurity can produce unimaginable opportunities. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hopeunleashed/message

Episode 7 features Rosie Arnold. Employee number 11 at BBH, D&AD’s first ever female president, multi award-winner, part time fencer and general lover of life, Rosie has done it all. Click this link to see the visuals and the story that goes with the episode. https://www.getbehindthebillboard.com/?p=320 Her favourite recent billboard campaign was this one for Budweiser:https://www.thedrum.com/news/2018/05/31/budweiser-plays-up-its-music-cred-search-oriented-ooh-campaign And her first ever Billboard was for Levi’s… Spray on JeansWe can’t find an image of it anywhere… sorry listeners! If you find one… send it in! We discussed the Levi’s Incredible Shrinking Man billboards. Shot by the incredible @NadavKander - https://twitter.com/NadavKander. We heard how photographer Mary Ellen Mark, a millionairess and a colour photocopier helped create the iconic Levi’s ‘Haters’ posters.Read more about the incredible photographer Mary Ellen Mark: https://www.theguardian.com/culture/gallery/2015/may/26/mary-ellen-mark-legendary-photographs-in-pictures Then a decade of Lynx billboard brilliance. We talked about the work for Lynx on 24hours, Masculine and Feminine, The Cerne Giant and The Lynx Effect in general. On Lynx in particular, Rosie talks about how having good client relationships, outside of the meeting room, is conducive to creating great work. Meeting rooms can be far too high stress for the natural flow of a creative mind to affect the work. We talked about the unsung heroes of these and other campaigns that really stand out… the brave Marketing leads at the client who are prepared to get behind the work, stick their necks on the line and cut a cheque for the music/production/shoot. They believe in the work and the creative process as much as the agency. Although we strayed away from Rosies work for a while, we talked a bit about what makes great Outdoor work. The simplicity of Outdoor is where some great creative work can happen. Rosie waxed lyrical about Cossette’s Cannes Grand Prix winning billboards for McDonalds, by friend of the show Carlos Moreno. The simplicity of this concept heroes the brand and the medium in one shot. We moved on to KFC and the amazing illustrative work from Surachai and his Thai team [who have amassed over 90 Lions by the way]. We talked about the ‘Just Add Robinsons’ campaign for Robinsons fruit drinks. This iconic work flipped the just add water message on its head and demonstrated the magic that happens in a glass of water when you add Robinsons. The ads we contextual to the summer and outdoor feeling, including one for the Wimbledon Tennis Championship that Robinsons sponsors. And then the big move from BBH to AMV. Following a life changing few years Rosie headed off to become Head of Art at AMV. Going off to work with Alex and Adrian as ECDs… which lead us on to a proactive piece for Malteasers. Finally, she even shared with us a bottom drawer billboard idea for Red Nose Day. Redrawing it live on air - a first for the pod - maybe it’ll become a regular feature? Thanks Rosie for being inspiring, fascinating, fun and more. The world and our industry is a brighter place with you in it.
In this short but fun and insightful episode, I chat with Linzi Morgan, creator of Welcombe Radio's Saturday morning Art show (which I host once a month, and this episode is taken from) We talk about the joy of radio and podcasts, some of the creative blockages that we experience, fear of creative failure, how to approach and "turn" to you creative work and the joy of the creative process. This was a spontaneous and unplanned radio chat, but I would love to get Linzi on again sometime as a "proper" Podcast guest.

In celebration of Mettle Brain's one year anniversary, I am releasing one of my earliest podcasts, re-produced in it's raw form. This episode is with Summer Myers. Summer is an art therapist and has become an expert at seeing the inner landscape of our lives. She shares how we can create more joy in our lives through creativity. Summer explains that creativity is a human drive, like hunger or even a sex drive, and without satiating it we will become sick, as it is essential that we reflect our internal experience.
