Kirby through his work has lifted pressure from the minds of so many creatives. Everything that needs to be said under the sun has been said, then what do we do, can we never be original? You can be by infusing your work with your personality, your zing, your unique take on it. Nobody can be you, they don't have the same life experiences as you, they haven't lived your life story, your life moments, they might have similar lifes but not the same. .Everything is a remix zooms in on the idea that nothing is original, we might think that this is me who created this but if someone would break it down, trace it back we might come across the underlying source of inspiration. The idea is don't stress on being original, feel free to copy, combine, and transform. Keep creating, be in motion, execute, get inspired. Follow your bliss, because in the zone of motion some day you will see your unique concoction of creation.Follow Kirby's Work On:Website: https://www.everythingisaremix.info/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kirbyferguson/YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/c/KirbyFerguson*************************************************************************My Social Handles:Wish I Knew That Before!:https://www.instagram.com/wishiknewthatbefore/Amit Pandey: https://www.instagram.com/itsamit_pandey/*************************************************************************Share the podcast with someone whom you think would benefit from listening to it and don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe!

Humans are inherent copy machines. Emulation is how we learn to walk, talk and navigate the world. But when it comes to ideas—especially ones we deem “original”—things are different. We become hyper critical of imitation and resent anything close to a copy of our own. Obsessing over ideological ownership. But what we don't do, is turn that critical lens on ourself. Copy, transform, and combine. According to Kirby Ferguson, this is the recipe for creativity. Kirby is a filmmaker, speaker, and writer. You probably know him best from his acclaimed documentary, Everything is a Remix. You can watch it for free on YouTube and we promise that it will change that way you think about originality And maybe help you let go of that inner critic. Learn more about your ad choices.

As you guys know, I recently enrolled in a high level Copywriting & Sales Funnel certification. It's one of the best things I've ever done. This week, I learnt something that was a true eye opener... Everything is a remix. What does that mean exactly? Well, simply.. every idea, every song, every book, every show, every movie.. (including Star Wars) is not really an original idea, but simply a remix of something before it. I had no idea that George Lucas drew a lot of his original inspiration from the Flash Gordan series as a child.. and that he actually wanted to make a Flash Gordan movie.. (but he was able to secure the rights, so he made Star Wars instead). Go and watch the YouTube clip here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJPERZDfyWc This helped me realise that as a Copywriting/Sales Funnel builder, we can leverage inspiration and ideas from everything around us. It takes the pressure off our shoulders and allows us to consume for new and exciting concepts. I would love to know what you thought of the video.

For episode six of the podcast, we have Colorado-based artist, Meta Sarmiento. Meta is an artist that specializing in emcee-ing, poetry, and speaking. He was originally based in Guam, and now takes his art outside of his hometown. I had the pleasure of meeting Meta earlier this year, and we had this space to dig deeper into his story. We went from his origins in Guam and the catalyst that helped him get his art off the ground, eventually leading him to an international stage. Some of the heavier points we touched upon were the fogs that artists go through, and what it means to be your most authentic self. Shout out again to Meta for being such a dope guest. Make sure to peep Meta's work on YouTube and Spotify!
Are you a creative individual? If so, how are you using your creativity in this currently challenging time? Today, we’re excited to introduce you to an incredible woman, Alexandra Jamieson. Alex is an artist, a creative, and a phenomenal coach to women who are bringing their creative natures to light and discovering who they want to be. Today, Alex talks to us about how to accept that you are creative, how to be creative, and how to keep using your creativity in the challenging situation that we all find ourselves in, right now. She also talks about the new book that she has co-authored with her husband, called Radical Alignment, to help partners communicate more effectively. Stay tuned to find out more! Alex has done many different things in her career, and for the last twenty years, she has mainly been a coach and a writer. Over the years, there has been a constant evolution of what it means to her to be a writer and a coach. And the specific tools that she uses, and what she talks about, have also been developing and progressing over time. Be sure to listen in today, to find out how Alex uses her creativity to help other women discover their creative sides and find out who they really are. Show highlights: Alex loves that her work allows her to be very creative and keeps her constantly learning. Recently, there has been a creative spin on the work that Alex is doing to help women to release their inner creativity. Alex talks about where her passion for the creative comes from. Alex was painting watercolor for ten years before anyone else knew she was painting. She discusses why she chose to paint watercolor. Alex believes that every human is creative. We are given a lot of misleading information from a very young age. The responsibility that comes with owning your creativity. The difficulties that women, as creatives, face in our male-dominated society. The arts bring more money into America than agriculture and transportation do. Creative thinking and leadership skills are highlighted as the most important skills for leadership training in corporate America. Creative thinking skills are vital when having to adapt or create new ways of doing things for everyone. Alex is now convinced that her art matters. Talking about grief and creativity. Your feelings are key to finding a clear and creative space within yourself. Alex discusses her morning practice. Having a “bliss spot” for practicing your creativity without interruptions. Keep communicating. It’s very important. Alex shares a great tool for communication, called The All In Method, from her new book, Radical Alignment, which will be coming out in August. To be fully accepted for who you are is truly a great gift! You have to be willing to be bad at something before you get good at it.

Instead, the authors are business leaders, financial experts, FBI hostage negotiators, NAVY Seals, and more. And while their vocations may differ from yours, that’s the point! Because the wisdom within these books is applicable anywhere. And by the end of this episode, you’ll surely have a couple of new books to add to your reading list. ***VISIT THE FULL POST HERE: https://prochurchtools.com/15-secular-books-church-leaders-should-read/ What's In This Session?

Nothing is Original, I can up with this Topic because of Steal Like An Artist By Austin Klein, Everything Is A Remix by Kirby Ferguson “Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light, and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from - it’s where you take them to." Jim Jarmusch Go ahead and Grab the Book Steal Like An Artist & watch the Everything Is A Remix video. I also have taken a class at the Los Angelas Film School and realize that all the Hollywood movies are creating pretty much the same thing. I Learn that in TransMedia class with Howard Huston. The Bible even says this. "There is nothing new under the sun (Ecclesiastes) 1:9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be, and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” So don't worry about being original keeping creating.

Shownotes: http://fizzleshow.co/282 Have you ever shared ideas with colleagues, a mentor or a student? Has this become a point of concern around originality, ownership or intellectual property? How do we go about navigating these potentially dangerous waters? We at Fizzle are all too familiar with the perils of these types of feelings but we are also here to tell you how you can get past these issues and transcend the games of jealousy and possessiveness. In this episode we begin by unpacking the different ways in which we can run in trouble over the ownership of ideas. From there, the discussion turns to some rumination on the freedom of ideas and we look at the history of jazz as a great example of legacy, tradition and individuality. We also talk about how the communication and reproduction of similar ideas can lead to a rising tide for everyone and how generosity and grace can beget great rewards. A big takeaway from the talk is how reliant any type of culture or progress is on the borrowing and reinterpretation of ideas. With that in mind we want to inspire you to command and negotiate these areas with joy and openness for your and others' success. Tune in to hear it all! Key Points From This Episode: • Community over competition and the sharing of ideas. [0:06:12.4] • Our fears around upsetting our teachers and collaborators. [0:08:41.2] • The spirit of creativity, jazz and the borrowing of ideas. [0:12:19.7] • The two different views on the limits of intellectual property.

SPOILER ALERT for Ash vs Evil Dead. The Following Episode Contains A Bonus Topic. The DC Cinematic Universe is making big statements, Indy is over it, but Sam seems optimistic about Ben Affleck's Batman film. You can skip to that conversation using the timestamp. 1:23:18 Reviewing Awesome Stuff Episode 2 of Ash vs Evil Dead aired last Sunday, and we watched it. Sam and Indy, share their thoughts on the episode in this pseudo spoiler filled review. In Other News! We went to a pretty awesome party last Thursday. An Uncharted party, with a pretty sick arcade.

How to get better at making things, or HOW WE REALLY CREATE! Have you ever read something or heard someone say something so wonderful and powerful that your heart starts beating almost right out of your chest? I love those moments. I live for those moments. A few years ago I watched a series of lectures by Kirby Ferguson. The title of the series is called Everything Is A Remix. I've discussed these lectures before. They are paradigm shifting. I recommend them. Especially his TED talk called Embracing the Remix. In fact, if you want to stop listening to this just to go look them up on YouTube I think you would be glad you did. Anyhow, in his lectures Kirby talks about the three key steps of creation. They are Copy, Transform, and Combine. Copy No one starts out original. We cannot create anything new until we have a solid foundation of knowledge and understanding in our line of work. Copying is how we learn. Transform Taking an idea and creating variations. Major advances are usually not original ideas, but the breaking point in a long history of progress by many different individuals. Combine The most dramatic results happen when various ideas are combined together. By connecting ideas together, creative leaps can be made. As Kirby outlined the progression of a creative work, he led my attention from entertained to interested, from enthralled to moved and transformed. I grew up in the post-industrial american school system. We are trained to obey, repeat, and memorize. There is nothing creative about the training I received as a child. In fact, creation — as outlined by Kirby to copy, transform, and combine — is looked down upon and smothered by threats and shameful labels. We have a strange obsession with being original, and often confuse that with being authentic. Imagine the freedom and validation I felt when Kirby outlined my secret shame as a strength. I had, as a young and aspirational creative, been secretly copying the works of those I admired for years. I repurposed and recomposed their own ideas to meet my needs. I did it in the shadows. Hoping to never be discovered. Never wanting to be branded a plagiarist or unoriginal. But now Kirby tells me its okay. Not only that, it's the correct path. Insight / Tips As I look back over my personal history I can see that these steps of creativity of (copy, transform, combine) are not just descriptive of a creations lifespan, but also that of the creator itself. When I was a boy I would steal my Mom's tracing paper and trace my comic book pages for hours. I would get lost in the lines and curves. I didn't understand it at the time, but I was learning about scale and contrast, light and shadow, hierarchy and story telling. I was just trying to draw a cool superhero, but I was being trained by my generations masters. Eventually I could draw the characters from memory, after a little while longer I could improvise their poses and create my own little silly stories. I would mix styles and place my favorite characters in scenes that I had seen in movies or read about in books. Soon enough I was creating new characters made up of elements of my favorite heroes. Wings and claws, guns and katanas, glowing fists and belts with far too many pouches (it was the 90's after all.) Only now I can look back and see own my personal progression through the stages of copying, transforming, and combining to make something new and personally valuable. It might be fun to someday outline the various influences that combine to make the DevTips style of videos. Task Recognize and celebrate the origin of your ideas. Be honest with yourself and your audience. Enable yourself to have a real conversation about your work, your passion, and your influences. Being aware of how creation comes about will make you more open to the things that you can draw upon and use to create something new. Or as Kirby puts it: Our creativity comes from without, not from within. We are not self-made, we are dependent on one another. Admitting this to ourselves isn’t an embrace of mediocrity and derivativeness — it’s a liberation from our misconceptions, and its an incentive to not expect so much from ourselves and to simply begin.
