Podcasts about creators

Have you ever found yourself in conflict as an artist with the church you want to serve - either because you didn't fit the mold, or the church didn't know how to develop your skill? Is there a solution? Rick Sorenson thinks so. As a lifelong artist, and now author and speaker, Rick has relentlessly explored the connections between faith, creativity, and worship. In this conversation we explore all three to help you realize the key to finding your place in a congregational setting as a creator - and to help churches better shephard their creative members.CONNECT WITH OUR GUESTRick Sorenson's WebsiteText the Show!

Season 2, Episode 117In this episode, Michael and Zach begin a new series exploring the biblical relationship between sin, desire, identity, and the gospel. Before addressing contemporary debates surrounding temptation, same-sex attraction, identity language, and pastoral qualification, they lay a theological foundation by asking a more basic question: What is sin? Many Christians think of sin primarily as outward behavior, but Scripture presents a much deeper picture. Sin includes not only our actions, but also our nature, desires, motives, and inclinations. Drawing from passages such as Romans 3, Romans 5, Mark 7, James 1, and Matthew 5, the discussion examines original sin, total depravity, the corruption inherited from Adam, and the way sinful desires arise from the fallen human heart. Along the way, Michael and Zach explain why Christianity's diagnosis of the human condition is far more profound than mere behavior modification, and why the gospel offers something greater than self-improvement. Ultimately, the episode argues that because sin reaches to the very core of who we are, we need more than better habits—we need regeneration, the righteousness of Christ, and the transforming grace of God.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/RPlWcSZgE50Merch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

Brent is joined by Paige Kosinski, co-founder of Odyssey Entertainment Group, an influencer talent management company that has grown from a boutique operation into a mid-size powerhouse. The conversation covers the evolution of the creator economy, the art of matching talent with brands, and the practical steps aspiring creators need to take to build sustainable careers. Whether you are a merchant looking to leverage influencer marketing or a creator hoping to monetize your platform, this episode delivers real-world guidance from someone who lives and breathes this space every single day.Key TakeawaysConsistency beats follower count. Algorithms reward creators who show up regularly, and brands now prioritize engaged communities over raw follower numbers.Start with one clear focus. Creators should establish expertise in a single area before expanding into lifestyle content. That focus gives audiences a reason to stick around.Brand partnerships drive the bulk of creator revenue. Beyond one-off deals, long-term collaborations with aligned brands create stability for both the creator and the company.AI-generated content can backfire. Audiences are quick to spot avatar-driven or AI-produced material, and brands are even adding contract clauses to limit AI use in creative deliverables.The creator economy welcomes every generation. Gen X influencers are thriving on social platforms, proving that audience-building has no age requirement.Personal branding comes first. Monetization follows naturally when a creator invests in building a genuine, recognizable brand with clear content pillars.Cross-platform presence matters. Successful creators post across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Pinterest depending on where their audience lives.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Odyssey Entertainment Group01:53 The Evolution of Influencer Management05:11 Matching Influencers with Brands09:03 The Importance of Community and Niche10:07 Engaging Older Audiences11:11 Navigating Different Platforms12:39 Building a Personal Brand13:31 Public Speaking and Influencer Opportunities14:33 The Role of AI in Content Creation17:21 Getting Started as an Influencer18:55 Closing Thoughts and Promotions ResourcesOdyssey Entertainment Group - https://www.odysseyentertainmentgroup.comErica Ver - PianyandHoney - https://www.instagram.com/pianyandhoneyWall Blush Modern Manor Collection - https://wallblush.com/collections/modern-manor

What happens when a camera company starts thinking less about lenses and specifications and more about how people actually capture and share their lives? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I spoke with Max Richter from Insta360 about the company's journey from pioneering 360-degree cameras to building a much broader ecosystem of hardware, software, AI tools, and creator-focused workflows. While many people still associate Insta360 with immersive 360 content, the company has steadily expanded into action cameras, wearable cameras, webcams, creator tools, and enterprise applications that reach far beyond social media. Our conversation explored how Insta360's philosophy of "shoot first, frame later" challenged traditional assumptions about photography and video creation. Rather than worrying about angles, framing, or missing a moment, users can focus on the experience itself and decide later how they want to tell the story. That approach has helped shape products that are now used everywhere from family vacations and sports adventures to construction sites, virtual tours, education, and live broadcasting. We also discussed the growing role of artificial intelligence in the creative process. Instead of replacing creativity, Insta360 is using AI to remove many of the technical hurdles that often prevent people from sharing the content they capture. From automated editing and intelligent reframing to enhanced low-light performance and future cloud-based experiences, AI is becoming an important part of making professional-quality content creation accessible to a much wider audience. A major focus of our discussion was Luna, Insta360's new pocket gimbal camera developed in partnership with Leica. Max explained why this launch represents an important step for the company as it expands further into the creator market. Combining premium imaging capabilities, advanced stabilization, AI-powered features, and a highly portable design, Luna reflects Insta360's belief that creators increasingly care about the entire workflow, from capture through editing and publishing, rather than camera specifications alone. We also explored an increasingly common question: if modern smartphones are so capable, why would anyone need a dedicated camera? Max shared his perspective on why purpose-built devices still matter for travelers, vloggers, filmmakers, and everyday users who want a more immersive and intentional way to capture life's moments. From AI-powered storytelling and creator workflows to the future of wearable cameras and intelligent imaging, this conversation offers an interesting look at how one company is trying to shape the next chapter of visual content creation. How do you think AI will change the way we capture, edit, and share our stories over the next few years?

An in-depth analysis of Off Campus that focuses on the careful ways that serious issues of sexual assault, domestic violence, and trauma were presented as part of a meaningful love story. It's rare to encounter a show that is presented as thoughtfully and with so many positive messages. Despite its feet kicking elements, seeing main characters face fears, overcome self-doubt, and choose to forego the safety of solitude for the hope of real connection seems to be what has captivated viewers the most. After breaking down multiple ways the characters help each other progress, fellow Off Campus fan Lauren Skae, a.k.a. @thezenblonde joins the discussion.

What happens when YouTube starts answering questions instead of just serving up videos?----------------------In this episode, Jerry Potter joins us to break down one of the biggest waves of YouTube updates creators have seen in years. From the new Ask YouTube AI search experience to major changes in how Shorts are evaluated and monetized, Jerry explains what these updates actually mean for creators, solopreneurs, and small business owners.We explore how AI-powered search could affect long-form content, why visual demonstrations may become even more important, and what creators should be doing to make their videos more discoverable in a world where viewers increasingly want answers instead of search results. We also discuss YouTube's growing focus on viewer satisfaction, including shares, rewatches, and engagement signals that go beyond watch time.Plus, Jerry shares his take on YouTube Shorts, AI-powered remixing tools, creator bonuses, and his Done By Lunch framework for focusing on high-return activities instead of chasing every new feature.Key Takeaways:Ask YouTube could increase the value of videos that answer questions visuallyCreate content for humans, not algorithms, even as AI becomes more involved in searchVisual demonstrations may become more important than ever in an AI-powered YouTube ecosystemShares, rewatches, and viewer satisfaction are becoming stronger indicators of content qualityYouTube Shorts now rewards viewer completion and satisfaction more than simple viewsDon't chase every new feature; focus on the activities that create the highest return on effortA narrow niche helps YouTube find the right audience fasterBuild content that serves your business long after it's publishedLong-form YouTube content remains one of the strongest high-leverage assets for creators and entrepreneursResources:Jerry Potter: Website | Youtube | PodcastPaul Gowder: Website | Facebook | 10 Day Facebook Challenge----------------------Ecamm - Your go-to solution for crafting outstanding live shows and podcasts. - Get 15% off your first payment with promo code JEFF15CreatorNewsLive.com - Dive into our website for comprehensive episode breakdowns.Youtube.com - Tune in live, chat with us directly, and be part of the conversation.

CHECK, PLEASE — Thanks for tuning in. Just a note before we get going: This is the 50th episode of The Full Bleed, and I, along with the team here at Magazeum, truly appreciate the time you spend with us. Waiting is what I consider a perfect magazine. Not because of its design or the writing, though both are stellar. But mostly because it functions as a closed loop. How? The subject and the audience are one and the same. Waiting, you see, is a magazine about creatives in New York's service industry. And it is a magazine for creatives in New York's service industry. That's a neat trick and also makes me wonder why no one had done this before founder, editor-in-chief, and complete magazine neophyte Adele Blanton hit upon the idea. Adele has done the math: 10 percent of the estimated 700,000 people working in the food and beverage industry in New York are artists of some kind. Artists, actors, writers, dancers. You name it. And that number is a healthy baseline for any publication. Waiting has published three well-received issues and now she and the team behind it has to figure out how to maintain and grow the media. That's one of the many things we talk about on the show. Did we tell you this is our 50th episode? Because it's our 50th episode. — This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press.

HOUSE FOR THE BROKEN FILM SERIES Teaser https://cinemaministry.com/FacebookInstagramTiktokBIOFor Jaron Lockridge, filmmaking has always been an art form for telling authentic and relatable stories. He has garnered over 5 million streams with independent successes such as Betray, Betray: Thirst, Cubic Zirconia, and Down Bad across major streaming platforms, including Tubi, Amazon, and Roku. After nearly a decade of building Misguided Perceptions Media Group into a successful independent production house, Lockridge's creative path took a definitive turn.Following a transformative personal encounter with God, Jaron committed to using his craft solely for the Gospel, rebranding his company as Cinema Ministry Productions to reflect this new calling. This transition marks a courageous new chapter, bringing the same raw, uncompromising honesty of his previous work to the world of Christian media. Through projects like the faith-based series House for the Broken, Jaron continues to craft stories from an authentic perspective, proving that faith-based content can be as emotionally resonant and narratively bold as any secular drama. HOUSE FOR THE BROKEN FILM SERIESTeaser https://youtu.be/qPkZC22B0BE?si=AcuBED609Kuml45b House for the Broken is an eight episode streaming series which touches on several subjects from fatherhood, addiction, abuse, proper discipleship, and the weight of pastoral ministry. House for the Broken is set to release late July 2026 with platforms TBD. NOTE FROM JARON I wrote House for the Broken after gaining renewed faith after a difficult period in my life. House for the Broken is a multitude of stories I've experienced personally or witnessed from people around me and through my "day job" as a full-time police officer in the state of Tennessee. The show focuses on showing the side of Christianity that isn't regularly portrayed like the weight of being a pastor, being unequally yoked in a relationship with a non-believer and being a new Christian trying to escape the shame of their past.

Wes Elder is an entrepreneuer, filmmaker and actor. He's the co-founder of Creatorspace, a marketplace connecting brands with creators for everything from standard sponsorships to ambitious branded productions. His background is in film and TV. He co-created and starred in the 2016 romantic comedy The Matchbreaker (a two-year Netflix title) and produced the renovation competition series Gutted, the experience that ultimately inspired Creatorspace. He continues to work across entertainment and tech helping creators get funded to focus on what they're best at, creating.

In this episode of the Creator Method Podcast, Gary Lipovetsky sits down with Aliza Shapiro, a licensed therapist, founder of a multi-state private practice, and creator known for her clinical insight and radical honesty, to unpack the mental health realities creators and high performers often face behind the scenes. Aliza breaks down why so many creators are running on empty, how ambition can turn toxic, and why burnout is not a sign of weakness or laziness, but a signal that your mind and body are asking you to slow down. Together, Gary and Aliza explore the emotional cost of giving so much of yourself to an audience, the importance of boundaries, the science behind burnout, and why taking breaks can actually make creators more effective, creative, and sustainable. The conversation also dives into decision fatigue, imposter syndrome, mom guilt, therapy, meditation, and the tension between building a successful career while staying connected to yourself and the people closest to you. Aliza shares practical insights for recognizing early burnout signals, protecting your energy, and learning how to slow down before life forces you to stop. Whether you're a creator, entrepreneur, or high performer trying to build something meaningful without losing yourself in the process, this episode is a powerful reminder that success is not just about strategy. It's about self-awareness, boundaries, adaptability, and knowing when to refill your own tank.

(Valid through June 14th) This week, Dave returns from Alaska Comics Camp — https://minicon.alaskarobotics.com/comics-camp/ — with a glowing review of what he calls one of the most meaningful experiences of his professional life. He explains how the camp blends education, community, mentorship, and artistic growth in a remote setting that forces attendees to disconnect from technology and reconnect with one another. Along the way, Brad and Dave discuss what makes the camp special, the value of peer-to-peer learning, the recent panic over Kickstarter's updated NSFW guidelines, Eisner nominations, and the realities of pursuing recognition in comics. Alaska Comics Camp Alaska Robotics Comics Camp is a four-night creative retreat in the southeast Alaska rainforest for comics pros, visual storytellers, and adjacent creators — writers, game devs, filmmakers, journalists, musicians, and more. You have to apply to attend. It's not a standard “buy a badge and show up” event; accepted campers attend after the Alaska Robotics Mini-Con in Juneau.  Cost: Camp is listed at $800, which includes four nights of lodging, meals, and transportation to/from downtown Juneau. Financial aid is available, and asking for aid does not affect application review.  What to expect: workshops, presentations, peer conversations, campfires, board games, hanging out, and wandering through the woods and nearby ocean beach — basically “a professional development conference for people who don't like conference rooms.”  Comfort level: rustic but not brutal — heated cabins, bunk beds with mattresses, flushing toilets, hot showers, power outlets, meals, snacks, coffee/tea, towels, and comfort items are provided. There's no regular Wi-Fi or cell service at camp, though service is reachable by hike or ride.  How to participate next year: watch the Alaska Robotics Mini-Con / Comics Camp site and their social channels for the next application window. Recent camps have used an application process with deadlines months ahead of the event, so don't wait until spring to start looking. https://minicon.alaskarobotics.com/comics-camp/ Topics Covered A complete tour of Alaska Comics Camp and how it evolved from a small Juneau event into an international gathering of cartoonists School visits, library presentations, the Alaska Robotics Mini-Con, and the camp experience itself Why the lack of cell service is one of the camp's greatest strengths Classes taught by attendees on topics including storytelling, lettering, humor writing, character development, publishing, and business An NSFW-comics discussion that impressed Brad with the camp's openness and professionalism The importance of "Comics Rules" (similar to Chatham House Rules) in creating a safe environment for sharing industry information Real-world discussions of publishing contracts, agents, income, and career sustainability The anonymous income survey that helps attendees understand the wide range of successful cartooning careers Why Alaska Comics Camp has become one of Dave's favorite events in all of comics Stories from ComicLab listeners who attended camp after hearing about it on the podcast Dave's observations about Alaska's landscape, culture, and strong sense of community The tale of a failed camp water pump and Pat Race's MacGyver-level solution involving a distillery, a fire department, and a garden hose The viral misinformation claiming Kickstarter had banned pornography What Kickstarter's updated NSFW guidelines actually said Why Stripe — not Kickstarter — is the real concern for adult-content creators Brad's emergency solo Pro Tips episode explaining the new guidelines How creators can avoid overreacting to social-media panic cycles Listener feedback about what Brad and Dave's voices sound like to non-Americans Congratulations to friends of the show, including Ryan North, Glenn Fleishman, Tony Cliff, and Steve Lieber, on their Eisner nominations A discussion about award submissions, advocacy, and why creators must nominate themselves The realities of comics awards, including Eisners, Ringo Awards, Hugos, Reubens, and Ignatz Awards Whether award nominations come from changing your work — or simply years of steady improvement and persistence You get great rewards when you join the ComicLab Community on Patreon$2 — Early access to episodes$5 — Submit a question for possible use on the show AND get the exclusive ProTips podcast.

Season 2, Episode 116In this episode, Michael and Zach are joined by returning guests Jonathan White and Matthew Gilbert for a roundtable discussion on one of the most difficult questions facing Christians in modern politics: how much should a candidate's character matter? Unlike most of human history, citizens in democratic societies have a direct role in selecting their leaders, creating unique moral and spiritual questions for believers. Drawing from passages such as Proverbs 29, Titus 1, Romans 14, Jeremiah 29, and others, the conversation explores the relationship between personal character and public policy, whether Christians should ever support candidates with serious moral failings, and the distinction between casting a vote and actively campaigning for a political figure. The discussion also considers the role of conscience, the responsibility to seek the good of one's community, and whether there are circumstances in which abstaining from a vote may be the most faithful course of action. Throughout the episode, the panel seeks to help Christians think biblically, carefully, and charitably about political engagement in an increasingly polarized culture.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/jhh-KB7YWTQMerch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

Dr. Mark Grether, SVP and General Manager of PayPal Ads, joins Phillip from PayPal's Manhattan offices to argue that the merchant storefront is migrating off owned websites and into LLMs. This may make the mechanics of customer experience and loyalty a bit murky, but Mark explains how PayPal's "transaction graph,”  built on real purchases across 30 million merchants and 400 million consumers, acts as the deterministic identity layer that the post-cookie ad world has been missing.  We also cover the evolving world of commerce media, from zero-click commerce and CTV attribution to PayPal Ads' newest product, Storefront Ads, which transforms the creative into the checkout.  The Cart Cartographer Key takeaways: Consumers now start product discovery on LLMs, not search engines or merchant sites. PayPal's transaction graph spans 30M merchants and 400M consumers, representing real purchases, not just clicks. Deterministic payment identity beats cookies and probabilistic IDs for cross-channel attribution. Storefront Ads turn any ad into a one-click, pre-populated checkout. Creators run two businesses: generating consumer data, then monetizing it. [00:04:03] "We're not just seeing behavior, we're actually seeing the real transactions. We know what people are purchasing — not whether they search for something or browse for something. We actually see what they are buying." – Mark Grether [00:11:00] "The trick about our identity is it was built from a finance perspective, meaning I need to understand that you are you and not your twin brother. Our identity has to clear a much higher bar compared to probabilistic IDs or cookies." – Mark Grether [00:13:40] "The idea of Storefront Ads is that the creative itself becomes the shop. You're getting exposed to the sneakers, and with one click, you can actually make the purchase. We already know who you are, we know your bank account, we know your address — everything is pre-populated. From a consumer perspective, it becomes super easy to finish a transaction."

Send us Fan MailWe've done the finance of Industry, the finance of Succession, the finance of Belle Burden's Strangers — but we've never done the finance of CREATORS. So when Spotify invited us to their Investor Day, we knew we had to sit down and ask the question every aspiring musician, podcaster, and Instagram creator is obsessing over: in a world where everyone wants to be a creator, how does anyone actually get paid?In this episode, we talk with Gustav Gyllenhammar, SVP of Markets and Subscriptions at Spotify, about the surprisingly complicated machinery behind every stream you play. Where does your $12.99 a month really go? How much does a million downloads of a song actually pay out? And how did a company born out of a piracy-ravaged Sweden convince an entire generation to start paying for something they'd grown up expecting for free? We get into the labels-versus-songwriters split, the rise of the independent artist, and the one number that explains why Spotify thinks it's playing a completely different game than the AI companies scraping the internet for content.Which brings us to the real tension underneath it all: as LLMs hoover up the work of writers, musicians, and creators everywhere, who's building a model to actually compensate them — and is Spotify offering a better blueprint? We dig into Spotify's philosophy on AI, why they waited so long to touch it on the music side, what "Time Well Spent" means when every other platform is optimizing for your attention, and whether the creators who power these platforms are about to get boxed out of their own economy.

The entertainment industry is undergoing a major shift, and creators are leading the charge. In this episode, Travis and producer Eric discuss the breakout success of Obsession, a low-budget horror film created by YouTuber-turned-filmmaker Curry Barker. They explore how independent creators are bypassing traditional gatekeepers, building audiences online, and proving that great storytelling can outperform massive budgets. Along the way, they dive into the parallels between comedy and horror, the economics of filmmaking, and why we're entering a new era of creator-driven entertainment. On this episode we talk about: How YouTube creators are successfully making the leap into Hollywood Why low-budget horror films continue to generate outsized returns The surprising connection between comedy and horror storytelling The financial success story behind Obsession and creator-led filmmaking How audience demand is reshaping traditional entertainment industries Top 3 Takeaways Great storytelling beats big budgets. A compelling product can outperform projects backed by vastly larger resources when it resonates with audiences. The barriers between independent creators and traditional media are disappearing, creating massive opportunities for talented people to break into established industries. Word-of-mouth remains one of the most powerful marketing tools in the world—especially when creators build genuine trust with their audiences. Notable Quotes "The thing that makes them good at YouTube also makes them good at this other thing." "Great storytelling doesn't need a massive budget—it needs a great creator." "I just love seeing more and more examples of creators continuously blurring the lines between YouTube and Hollywood."
