As we head into the final month of the year, which for many has been a year of re-emergence and reimagining, there's never been a more important time to reconnect with our own inner creativity. And, by the way, this is even more important if you're someone who, maybe, has never even considered themselves all that creative, or in any way skilled at it. But, now, it's not just about our work or hobbies or passions, we need to find new ways to turn our creative impulse loose on life, itself. That process of reimagining, of stepping into a place of possibility, takes a blend of inspiration, action-taking and wisdom from those who've been immersing themselves in the world of creativity for years. This is why we're excited to bring you a power compilation collective today that focuses in on igniting creativity in all parts of work, play, relationships, and life. We've brought together 4 incredible voices, Lisa Congdon, James Victore, Yrsa Daley-Ward, and Mike Han. Each comes from wildly different backgrounds, experiences, and challenges, and each also finds ways, often ways no one else saw, to center creativity in their work and also explore life as the ultimate creative canvas.

If you struggle with low self-worth, perfectionism, procrastination, or self-doubt, then you might be making the mistake of letting fear into the driver's seat of your business. Fear is a plague in our creative community. So many of us let fear... drive our rates down to pitiful levels (and keep us from ever raising them) drive us working extra hours for free (so we don't "ruffle feathers" by asking to be compensated) drive us to keep tweaking things for hours until they're "perfect" (even though there's no such thing as perfection) trap us in a state of perpetual procrastination for all of those big things we know will push our business forward It probably sounds obvious that fear is a terrible thing for you and your business, yet so many of us keep allowing fear to drive us every single day. That's why I wanted to bring on someone who's literally written the book on this. The author of "Feck Perfuction" is a world-renowned artist named James Victore. You may have seen his work in The Louvre or the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and I think it goes without saying that you don't make it to that level as a creative without annihilating fear. James has managed to break free of fear and build an incredible name for himself, and this episode dives into his process for what he does when the "fear demon" tries to sit on his shoulders and tell him how to live his life. In this episode you'll discover: The importance of overcoming your fears Perfection and procrastination: your silent enemies How to get over our physical and mental ailments How childhood trauma, no matter how mild, affects your life/business Learning how to love yourself Finding clients who fit what you want to create Why failing more is good Taking risks to make your work stand out For full show notes, visit https://6figurecreative.com/210

What is Creative Courage & why do we need it?On this special episode of the show — which I'm releasing between the normal schedule — my guest James Victore helps me to explore why being creative is a matter of courage and why we should embrace it.A word of warning: the episode contains lots of adult language. It's also one that some regular listeners will absolutely love and some o really won't. Which is ok from my perspective. The point of the podcast isn't to produce bland content that might appeal to everyone. It's to bring you episodes that I hope will stimulate you and brign different perspectives. James Victore is an artist, designer and author. He's also a trainer and coach who helps people to unleash their creative sides. Having read his book Feck Perfuction — yes, that is the title — I wanted to get him on the show. I'm also in the middle of one of James' courses. Called, appropriately enough The Bad Ass Way. And yes, I paid full price for the course, so he's on the show because I think he's awesome, not for some commercial arrangement.On the show you'll learn what creativity is, why it matters, how we can find it, why we often don't get the chance to display it and the risks/rewards of making a career of it. I love this episode and I hope you will too.To find out more about James, his book Feck Perfuction and his awesome courses visit: www.jamesvictore.comYou can also find him on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamesvictore/

Maybe you've seen this week's guest, Arian Moayed, playing the role of Stewy on HBO's Succession. Or in the breakaway hit, Inventing Anna, as Anna Sorokin's lawyer, Todd Spodek. Or, Agent Cleary in last year's megahit, Spider-Man: No Way Home. And, you'd think, “wow, he's everywhere, how lucky is he!” And, you'd be half-right. Arian is everywhere these days. But, luck? Not a chance. There is something much bigger at play. With a stunning work ethic, fueled by genuine passion. Arian's family fled Iran under threat of violence when he was a child, taking a years-long journey that split the family between different countries, and eventually landed them just outside Chicago, where they set about building a new life in a radically different world. Acting became a fast passion, a way to express his feelings, his passion, and experiences and, in short order upon becoming an adult, his career. So, while honing his craft and acclaim as an actor, he also began devoting more and more energy to writing, producing, and teaching. Co-founding the theater/film production and arts education venture, Waterwell, his heart is most boldly on display in guiding the growth of teachers and 6-12th graders in New York City's free theater training program, and exploring not just performance, but citizenship, service, equality, advocacy, justice, and what it means to be human. We all need more of that these days.

Hey, have you subscribed to the bookmark newsletter? A fortnightly email with book reviews and ideas of what you should be reading next. Click here to subscribe. About the author Highly regarded for his provocative style, James Victore is a graphic designer, art educator and dynamic high in-demand speaker on creativity. He lectures and teaches regularly around the globe, inspiring people to illuminate their individual gifts in order to achieve personal greatness. Raised in upstate New York, James moved to New York City when he was 19 years old and by age 23, after dropping out of two different colleges, he became an apprentice to noted book-jacket designer Paul Bacon. It was with Bacon that Victore found his voice as a designer and he began to take charge of his own education and career as a self-taught artist and designer. Described as “part Darth Vader, part Yoda,” James is widely known for his timely wisdom and impassioned views about design and it's place in the world. As well as founding his own design studio in 1990, James taught at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. Victore's posters have been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and are in the permanent collections of the Palais du Louvre in Paris, the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., the Design Museum in Zurich, and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. Source: https://www.jamesvictore.com/about About the book “Feck” is the creative tool kit that you need in your life. It is about living and creating freely, without the stress of others expectations or even your own thoughts about being perfect. 80 chapters of inspiration and thoughtful practices. Order more copies! You need this book, but so do your co workers or your partner or mom or your college kid, heck, buy one for your boss! Source: https://www.jamesvictore.com/get-inspired Big idea #1 — Be weird There's a whole section of this book about being yourself about embracing your childhood weirdness, using creativity, having an opinion, and not fitting in. James uses the analogy of ‘letting your light shine', like in the gospel song ‘this little light of mine', but we often don't do that because it's both too easy and too hard. We forget how to be creative as we get older and how at some point the weirdness that we have as kids becomes a target rather than an asset. And so the hiding and the morphing into the being the same as everyone else begins. For most of us, this starts at home (chapter one is actually called ‘your parents were wrong', a strong way to start any book).We're often presented with predefined pathways as options of what we can be when we grow up, which is obviously a horrible question to ask anyone, never mind a child. And these offered pathways are usually quite narrow. James says that whatever we want to be, be it an accountant or an artist, or a songwriter or an engineer, you should be yourself, have an opinion, and do it your way. Big idea #2 — The first rule of business: fun Without fun, you are merely one of the working dead. Without the fun, all of the hard work will be much more painful, and longevity will be much harder to maintain. Fun allows us to test innovate, make mistakes and stay curious. It allows us to bring our personality into our products and services, which ultimately is what people love. People are drawn to products and services that have some character and some personality to them. This doesn't mean it won't be hard. James isn't painting this overly perfect or overly saccharin view of what life or work will, or should, be like. He talks a lot about quality and skill, there's a whole section on sharpening the axe and building and maintaining your skillset. He talks about doing the work, even when you don't feel like it, and the importance of having a plan. But having fun and making yourself happy first makes all of this possible. After all excitement breeds, excitement. Big idea #3 — Feck Perfuction Nobody's perfect, even you, and it's easy to make a myriad of excuses or ‘big buts' as James calls them to slip into comparisonitis, have shaky boundaries, or underselling ourselves by not asking for enough or by too much self-deprecation. Building solid habits and embracing an action focused approach to work, experimentation, and mistake making means we can make things happen. He mentions a Buddhist parable, that the second arrow comes from our own hands. The first arrow that hits us might be something going wrong; your car breaking down, the train being delayed, someone criticizing you. But the second arrow comes from our own hands; we then berate ourselves, we let that thing that happened to us ruin our whole day or a whole week, rather than just letting it go and choosing to react in a way that's more productive. We get to choose whether to fire that second arrow into ourselves. James says we need to embrace the flaws. We need to turn them into features or strengths, and let go of the judgment of ourselves and others and get on and make something happen.

Janet Castillo is a Dance and Performance coach, and TV Host and Producer of the WORK IT! TV Show. Her mission is to use dance as a tool to inspire and empower people to live with joy and on purpose. From beginner to professional, she has impacted hundreds of students with her energy, passion, and creativity. With over a decade of professional experience as a dancer and choreographer, she has worked with high-profile artists and brands including Jennifer Lopez, Christina Milian, So You Think You Can Dance, Much Music, the Latin Grammys, TEDx, Canadian and American Idol Finalists, PAN AM Games, the Olympic Committee, and was the dance captain of a touring musical co-produced by Tyler Perry and Cedric the Entertainer. Once Janet became a wife and mom, she stepped away from the dance industry to focus on her family and worked a stable 9-5 job. After years of feeling that something was missing, she stepped back into the dance studio and returned to her true calling. She then quit her job, became the host and producer of a tv show, and has been on a mission to share her love of dance and the power it has to transform lives both on and off the dance floor. Her WORK IT! dance courses and programs are helping women to step into their power, become fearless and live freely in the moment. In this episode: Communication is key in setting each week up for success. Have clarity on the schedule, expectations, and needs for the week ahead. The paper vs. digital calendar debate! What is the strategy that you prefer to keep track of “all the things”? Or do you like using both? Unleashing your passion can create a sense of joy and fulfillment that allows you to be the best version of yourself. What is possible on the other side? If you are looking to make a change, do the research, have the conversations, and if it just feels right, take the leap! Dance is a state of joy. We all have that favourite song or playlist that we can't help moving to or dancing to when we hear it! The many benefits to moving your body! Taking even a few minutes can help with focus, clarity, productivity, and so much more! Don't overthink it. Just get moving! Know that you are worth it. Prioritize scheduling time for you in your day, be authentic by taking ownership of your feelings, and communicating clearly what you do and don't want and need. What does your family stand for? What are the words and values that your family wants to be in all that you do?

We need to give ourselves self-compassion. It's okay. We are going to be just fine. For Janet, she has come to peace with knowing that things are always going to be changing. We also chatted about paper calendars vs. digital calendars! I am ‘naturally' on “team paper calendar” but have been really trying hard to use a hybrid approach and put things in our family's digital calendar as well… my husband had resorted to taking pictures of our paper calendar to know what was going on each month! Janet prefers paper calendars as well - pen to paper is her thing - and her husband prefers digital just like mine. She has made the shift to putting things into a shared digital calendar as well - the high level things (not all the details) that are important to her family juggle. Do you prefer a digital calendar? A paper calendar? Or do you use both? THAT VOICE INSIDE Janet talks about returning to dance. She had a family and stable nine to five job but she felt like she was just going through the motions.

Then, promptly launched and built his own successful design consultancy. Years later, an accomplished illustrator, designer, and provocateur of the status quo, he returned to that very school, but this team, to teach is own perpetually-packed class. James has been described as part Darth Vader, part Yoda, prolific storyteller, designer, provocateur, artist, activist and teacher.

At the helm of his independently run design studio, James makes work that takes a strong position and often toes the line between sacred and the profane. And, the world has taken notice. His work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, in the permanent collections of the Louvre and the Library of Congress and his client list includes countless industry leaders. His book, “Feck Perfuction“ is sort of his manifesto on living a creative, full-contact and alive life.More recently, he's been facilitating a Live Mentoring Program he calls ‘The Creative Warrior,' which is the culmination of decades of teaching, mentoring, sharing and, as he describes it, “just me having fun with brave souls.” So excited to share this Best Of conversation with you.

Following a week in bed with a stomach bug at the top of September, once I was FINALLY feeling better, Sarah and I both contracted COVID and were completely wiped out… scary stuff! Interestingly, even with the numbers so high, it’s hard to wrap my mind around (1 million deaths worldwide, 200k deaths and 7.2 million JUST IN THE U.S.!) I still had a ton of friends saying that Sarah and I were the first people they knew personally who got it. So, I pulled out the ol’ camcorder and recorded a video talking about what our experience looked like.

Highlights from this conversation, recorded on March 26, 2020: How social isolation and physical distancing have affected James Victore's day to day life and business. Why we can’t operate out of fear and resistance. The importance of establishing a new normal. Why being weird is our original default, and a source of power. What happens when creatives choose to fight. What James would like to see come out of our time of challenge. Fear and scarcity vs becoming resourceful The role of creativity, innovation and humour in emerging as a leader.

The world has very few creative leaders right now.” On his role as a leader: “All I can do is keep moving and keep doing what I’m doing and try to come at it from a place of love and compassion and creativity.

I didn't start making videos because I wanted to be a film maker. I never wanted to be a videographer or a cinematographer. As much as I love the art form, as creatively invigorating as it is to film and edit, it's not my primary aspiration. It's not my passion. And yet, I've found myself becoming increasingly obsessed with camera angles, camera settings, lenses, aperture, frame rates, lighting, audio, mic placement, B-roll, cinematic sequences, setting, background, etc, etc, etc. In other words, I've become overwhelmingly obsessed with the production, the "quality". I've also been unhealthily obsessed with "the numbers"; the subscriber count, the views, the listens, the plays, the likes, the shares, the comments, and the things. We all know the numbers shouldn't matter. We've all either said ourselves or heard other creatives say "don't create for the numbers", "the numbers don't matter" but, saying it and believing it are two different things. Implicitly, in the back of nearly every creators mind, the numbers matter. A lot of us, especially me, will attach our value as a creator, the value of what we create to those numbers. We will interpret those numbers as a numeric representation of how much our work matters, and we start judging the quality of our work based on those numbers. At least, that's what's happened for me. I think I lost my connection to an even more important question, "why did I start?" "What did I start doing this for?" It's so easy to get lost in the minutia of techniques and all the things that touch the thing you're doing but, what's the core of what you're doing? What's the heart beat of why you do what you do? If you lose touch with the thing that made you want to start doing what you're doing then you've lost the whole drive, you've lost the whole aspiration, the whole motivation, the whole operative significance of the thing. I started doing this because I'm in love with ideas. I'm in love with the kind of ideas that James Victore might call "Dangerous Ideas". Oscar Wilde said that " An idea that is not dangerous is unworthy of being called an idea at all". That is my core. It's gotten buried in the process but, its still there, and I'm trying to find my way back to it. How do I get back? I don't know. I don't have it all figured out yet. But, this is an attempt to get back to the dangerous ideas, and maybe that's a dangerous idea in itself. I hope that it is. I don't know what comes next, but i never have. All I can tell you is that I'm still in the process. If you're still here then, we're in the process together. Keep showing up, Keep doing the work, FAIL BOLDLY, and let's make something meaningful.

Side Hustler's Series Part 3 of 4: 5 Killer Tips for Managing Your Side Hustle to Maximize Results Back in May, I had the chance to jump on an episode of The Happy Ever Crafter TV with the calligraphy queen, Becca Courtice. I came prepared with some notes to help her niche calligraphy and lettering audience to get the most out of their side hustles. What kind of a jerk would I be if I didn't go more in-depth and share it with you? Regardless if you do calligraphy, lettering, knitting, underwater basket weaving, etc., there is something in this episode that can help you take your side hustle to the next level. Today, I'm giving you 5 Killer Tips for Managing Your Side Hustle to Maximize Results. Prepare to take some notes! Hopefully, there's a missing piece here that gets you one step closer to putting your peculiar yet promising puzzle together. 1. Have a Plan & Show Up with Intention How comfortably can you answer the following questions with conviction? What do you want to accomplish in life and why? Who do you want to become and why? Who do you want to serve/make an impact on and why? Figuring out the answers requires a lot of time, soul searching, and uncomfortable dialogue in your head. Once you're able to tap into that vision, reverse engineer that dream so you can pinpoint the steps you need to take. From here, you're able to layout short-term and long-term S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-Bound) goals that align with the vision. A goal without a plan is just a wish, so knowing what you want and developing a gameplan are crucial. When you know what you want and have outlined your steps, there's less room for guessing on what you should be working on each day. Having a plan makes it much easier to attack the top task that moves you closer to your goal each day. Note: If you lack a plan or system for making time to work on your side hustle, you're going to love next week's part 3 episode. I'm giving you 6 Ways to Carve Out Time to Grind & Execute Outside Your Day Job. 2. Be Consistent My favorite quote about consistency comes from Sean McCabe (Seanwes). "Nobody notices announcements, people notice consistency. It's time for a hard dose of reality and some tough love. There's no way you should be complaining about the promise of your side hustle when you've only: been doing it for a few weeks to a few months invested an hour or two a week posted a few times on social media here and there and told a few friends People won't notice shit until you consistently stay in front of them and make it crystal clear what you're doing. You have to remind people that you exist, and you do this with—you guessed it—a plan. One of the best ways to do this is to lock down a systemic routine of when you'll create and when you'll post. Frequency I recommend sharing AT LEAST once a week, as we tend to be creatures of weekly cycles (e.g. weekly episodes of our favorite TV shows or Monday Night Football). Daily output is going to get your faster results, of course. This isn't realistic for many people and can easily lead to burnout. Weekly is a manageable output that anyone can figure out. Start with something small and add more to your plate as you build it into your routine. Duration If this is something you're good at and it lights you up, I feel a minimum of six months of pursuing it with maximum effort is the least you can do. I'd highly recommend pushing it easily to 1-2 years if it's bringing you any of the 9 benefits I mentioned in last week's episode. It took me in the 1-2 year range to really start finding my footing. Currently, my fifth year is when I'm really finding my stride. It. Takes. Time. It's not always about reaching the most people in the beginning, but the right people slowly over the years. 3. Be Persistent I wanted this one to rhyme with Be Consistent because I like to have a good time and unwind with a rhyme outside design. News Flash: it's not easy pursuing something that's important to you—it's a straight-up rollercoaster ride, as you're being tested at every turn. You're going to experience plenty of shitty moments along your creative grind. There will be plenty of people that will attempt to rain on your parade. You gotta keep pushing to bathe in those sunny days when you've tapped into your creatively-fulfilled zone. I don't' have enough fingers or toes to count how many battles of self-doubt, depressed funks, haters, financial emergencies, etc. I've faced when pursuing my side hustle. I do know that every shit storm I've weathered has made me stronger. Every time you get knocked down, it's your responsibility to get back up and keep swinging. It's called responsibility because you have the ability to respond. Each time you get back up, you're adding a new bruise or scar that you can add to the "hard lessons learned jar" and use it as fuel. As cliche as it sounds...if it was easy, everyone would do it. It's not easy, but gritting it out because it's important to you will always be worth it. Don't find yourself on your death bed wondering, "What would life look like had I gotten back up to fight another day?" 4. Stop Trying to Be Pizza What fun would this be if I didn't include something pizza-related? My life motto has become, "You can't make everyone happy, you're not pizza." It's my filter that I run everything through when I show up each day. It's insanely hard to gain traction when you feel you have to reach every human in every pocket of the planet when you hit publish. The harder you try to reach the masses, the harder it is to land on that one soul who needs what you have to offer. Attempting to please everyone usually means you're riding the fence and playing it safe. You're scared to have a strong opinion, as it could drive someone away. James Victore on episode 117 would call this being "Oatmeal." Don't be Oatmeal. All it takes is one person at a time to attract that like-minded tribe of freaks who vibe to your flavor of weird. Instead of going for width, go for depth. Embrace who you are, share what's true to yourself, and keep the perfect person in mind when you hit publish (even if it's yourself). More importantly, disregard the thoughts and opinions of the haters. What you put into the world wasn't meant for them anyways. 5. Find Your Secret Sauce What's the secret sauce, and how do you make it? The starting base to your secret sauce: find the overlap of your greatest strength and greatest passion. This is called your sweet spot, and it's something I learned from Ken Coleman of The Entreleadership Podcast. You're going to have a hard time finding success with your side hustle if it's: something you're good at but don't enjoy something you love doing, but you suck ass at it doing The quick way to go about this is to make two-circle Venn Diagram. Strengths On the left, list your strengths. These could be things you can naturally thrive in that others find difficult. It could be skills you've acquired for hours you've spent learning a trade or craft. Taking a StrengthsFinder2.0 test can help you peel back another layer and reveal some deeper answers. Passions On the right, list your passions—the things that light you up and leave you feeling fulfilled. These are the things you zone out and lose track of time doing. It could be the thing that keeps you up at night because your mind is bursting with ideas. At the same time, it could be the thing that gets you jazzed to get out of bed each day. Bonus Points: ask friends and family to list out what they feel your greatest strengths and passions are so you can locate patterns. Secret Ingredient #3 It takes some time and a lot of experimentation to find your secret sauce, but once you do, you can add in the third and final ingredient. That third ingredient is your market. I'm talking about your target audience or perfect follower that your sweet spot provides value or a solution to. Now that's a whole other can of worms, but hopefully, it has you thinking of the value you bring to the table with your secret sauce. Note: I highly recommend Seth Godin's book This is Marketing to go deeper on this topic. Get his audiobook for FREE here. Putting it All Together It's easier said than done, but implementing these tips into your side hustle is no doubt going to help you maximize your efforts and see results. Yes, everything starts with a plan. However, practicing self-discipline, having some grit, and understanding the value you provide is crucial for taking your side hustle to the next level. That's all a part of the process, but the energy and effort is worth it once you find your stride. Need Some Extra Help?

Show Up & Be Your Truest, Weirdest Self—the Weirder the Better

Your Permission Slip to Be Weird I grew up under the impression that being weird was a bad thing. Being weird got you picked on and bullied. Being normal is what helped you fit in. I was definitely a weirdo growing up. Getting severely bullied made it hard for me to express myself as I got older. Popularity and acceptance are what I craved, so I did everything in my power to "blend in" with the cool crowd. It's funny how the theme has changed now that we're creative adults. We're told not to lose that child-like imagination. We're told being weird is a good thing and that showcasing your uniqueness is how you'll stand out. Back in episode 81, I gave you 3 Super Convincing Reasons to Show Your Weird and Wave Your Freak Flag. That episode was more of a permission slip for me to dig deep on the weird shit I loved as a kid and the weird shit I love as an immature adult. After attending Crop Conference last month, some of the biggest juggernauts in the creative realm all touched on this theme of embracing your weird—it just so happens they are all past guests on the podcast as well. I felt inspired to combine their episodes with my thoughts and go deeper on this weird subject of showing your weird. Today's episode is now a permission slip for you to connect the dots of your weirdness as a kid with your weirdness as an adult. Of course, I'm dishing out a fun drawing challenge with this to give you something to act on. More details on this at the end. Let's start with going over the juggernaut speaker quotes from Crop and use those as our foundation. Crop Conference Fuel James Victore During James's keynote, he talked a bit about his book Feck Perfuction. In his book and one of the messages he constantly drives home to creatives is the quote of, "The things that made you weird as a kid make you great today." This quote formed the theme for today's assignment and got me thinking about all the weird things I loved as the kid and how those weird things influence me today. You can listen to James back on episode 117 of the podcast. Jon Contino Jon Contino's talk was literally titled Born Weird. He embraces the shit that's made him weird in his past and influenced his style and the person he's become today. A quote that resonates with me the most was when he said, "Creatives get to be weird forever." He said that shit with so much conviction that it let me know I'm going in the right direction. You can listen to Jon back on episode 123 of the podcast. Lauren Hom Last, but definitely not least, Lauren Hom rocked the stage and dropped some gems about how her passion projects spoke to her inner weirdo. I'm meshing two quotes into one here when she said, "Embrace your inner weird. The things you love outside of design are the things you should explore in your work." It got me thinking: how can I incorporate the weird things I loved in the past and in the present and show more of it in my work? Again, more fuel to this drawing challenge I'm giving you shortly. You can listen to Lauren back on episode 75 of the podcast. My Past & Present Weirdness Since I've been back from the conference, I gave myself a little homework assignment to dig deep into the weird shit I was obsessed about when I was a kid. In no particular order, things I loved as a kid: Pizza Aliens and outer space Anything paranormal and supernatural Trees, clouds, and sun rays Cartoons: Ninja Turtles, Power Rangers, Rugrats, Reading Rainbow Bob Ross Football and Basketball Cards Dragons and Grim Reapers Video games Pokemon and Zelda on Gameboy Mario on Nintendo Shaq-F, Sonic, and Tecmo Superbowl on Sega Final Fantasy, Tony Hawk, Madden, and Spyro on PlayStation Cool S Pencils, fine liners, black and white, and details over white space Laffy Taffy Jokes The things I love as an immature adult: Pizza Aliens and outer space Anything paranormal and supernatural Trees, clouds, and sun rays Coffee Cats Art supplies Game of Thrones Puns, Dad Jokes, Wordplay, and Alliteration Pencils, fine liners, black and white, and details over white space Fitness When I list out my past and present weird obsessions, I can easily start connecting the dots and see the overlap in my work. The Future Weird of Perspective-Collective As I niche down and start the next chapter of Perspective-Collective, there are a few things I'm tapping into as I grow to know more about myself. My goal isn't to attract and appeal to the widest audience possible like it once was. In this day and age of social media, people crave an authentic connection to those who aren't afraid to be their true selves in their work—both online and offline. I realize it's more important than ever to wave my freak flag with pride. Doing so helps me attract the right type of freaks to my tribe who vibe to my own flavor of weird. The rest can unfollow, and hopefully, they'll find their own community of like-minded weirdos. Waving my freak flag moving forward involves understanding, embracing, and showing those weird things that make me unique from my past and present to shape my future. That's where this challenge comes to play if you're vibin' to today's message. The Challenge: Show Your Weird #PCFlashSheet I want you to create a flash sheet (a collective collage of drawings) of the things that made you weird as a kid and now as an adult. Use my episode artwork today as an example or search Flash Sheet on Instagram or Pinterest to get a better idea of what I'm talking about. Tag me on Instagram on both my @prspctv_cllctv and @perspectivepodcast accounts and use #PCFlashSheet to make sure I see it. That's it! Use color, go black and white, make a photo collage, whatever you want. I'm hoping today's message and this challenge gets you one step closer to showing up and being your truest, weirdest self—the weirder the better. Enjoy This Episode?

THE PROCESS: Part 5 (Presenting Your Designs) - Episode 092 It's week 5 of our series on Brandi's *patented* process. This week we continue our series on Brandi's design process. This is the sixth and final episode in the series! Brandi gives an in-depth look at 3 different ways of presenting your work. Putting your work out there, digitally presenting it to a client, and formally presenting it to a group. Hope you enjoy this final installment of our process series! Our Week Recap Brandi’s week: Brandi loves Valentine's day! It's not just a greeting card holiday to her. She is loving that the same day they are recording this, they interviewed James Victore. Which that episode is up so you can listen to it hereif you haven't. Michelle’s week: Michelle has a lot going on in her life. She brings a song this week and she has been learning more about the Enneagram. She works with a bunch of type nines and type sevens, and her husband is a type seven. Step 5 of Brandi’s process/Presenting your ideas: If this is for yourself, presenting would be just putting your design out there You need an account to show your work. Whether it be social media or a website. This helps with confidence in showing your work because can be a space where you are consistently sharing. If this is for a client, it’s presenting to the client (digitally or in person) Presenting digitally means a nicely put together PDF. How to do this in the preliminary stage, page one tells the client, here's what I was trying to solve, here's how I believe I solved it, here's the reason I did this, this, and this. Please let me know your thoughts. Have each page numbered so the client can easily state which page they are referring to. The communication needs to be very clear. And never ask the client "do you like it". When presenting the final product to the client, keep all the first round designs in black and white when possible (logos, etc.). This keeps the client from being swayed by color. Put in your notes to the client that appropriate colors will be chosen once the direction is chosen. Then once the final direction is chosen, you send the client another PDF, numbered pages, here's the problem I tried to solve, here's how I solved it, here are the words that put me in the direction. After this, you're good to go and you give the client the logo (or whatever you have done for them) on every possible file form and in every possible size, they would need. If for a group of people, presenting in front of a group of people (a formal presentation) This is the most difficult kind of presenting. The most important things to remember are who, what, when, why, where, and how. Who is who you are and why you are here. Then talk about your target story. You wrap your whole presentation around your target story, because that's the most important who in design, who you design for. The what, you talk about the thing you have brought to the group. This is where you talk about your problem and the concept statement. When this is going to be a bit fluid depending on what you are designing. When is when will the design launch and why it will be at that time. Then the where will be where the design will "live" (ads, billboards, posters, etc.). Your audience needs to have a clear understanding of where your design will be in order to know if it will work when they see your design. At this point, you still have not shown them the design. This gives the audience a clear understanding of all the information so that they can know all the facts and decide on the design. Why is when you talk about the problem you were trying to solve and the answer to that problem. The answer is your design. That then leads you into how, which is the execution. It is explaining your type choices, the colors, the images,

A few weeks ago, I got to sit down for a chat with one of my favorite creatives: James Victore. My guest, James Victore is a motorcycle rider and a surfer, but he is also one of the most prominent graphic designers and pop artists of his generation. His work was exposed (twice!) at New York's Museum of Modern Art. And you can still find his work in museums around the world. James is a master in poster design and has been teaching graphic design for the past 20 years. He has worked for prestigious clients such as Adobe, Mailchimp, and Moet & Chandon. In fact you may recognize his work from time to time, on the covers of Esquire Magazine, Time Magazine and on the covers of the entire collection of Do Books. But his work doesn't stop at design : he receives invitations from around the world for his motivational speaking talents and coaches many a creative and business owner. If you join him on YouTube or Instagram, you'll find him talking about his Dangerous Ideas, and giving creatives the pep talk they need. James' work is witty, subversive, radical and of course a bunch of fun. Some say he's part Darth Vador, part Yoda. If you don't know him yet, you'll probably hear a lot about him in the near future. His latest book, Feck Perfuction has just come out and is already a #1 bestseller on Amazon. I was truly honored (and quite intimidated) to have him on my podcast. You may have noticed, I'm a huge fan. This episode is for the creatives out there. In this episode we talk about why creatives must have their own opinion and their own voice, how perfectionism destroys our creativity. Why it is important to tame your fear of starting, of finishing, how and why setting goals is important, owning your identity and basically fecking perfuction. We also get a glimpse of what kind of a surfer James is and his experience surfing the waves of New York and Costa Rica. This episode is dedicated to the creative listeners out there. Whether it's in business, parenting or in design, James Victore is about to share his knowledge and this is really cool .

This week we interviewed James Victore for a special bonus episode! He talks about his new book, how weirdness is a gift and why he doesn't think about how he wants to be remembered. You're welcome. James' new book is called, "Feck Perfuction: Dangerous Ideas on the Business of Life" Some quotes from James on this episode: "I just kind of got bored of being on the losing end of compromise." "I think to be a financially successful commercial designer, the best thing you need to do is, um, um, um, ah, shut up and not have an opinion." "If you don't understand that you're weird and that it's not, it's not a flaw. It is a unique and powerful part of you. It's where your perspective and your attitude and your opinion come from." "The point is we shouldn't judge our handwriting. Just do it. We shouldn't judge our work. We shouldn't judge ourselves because we're terrible judges of our own. We can judge other people all day. That's easy." "If you make bad work, fine, keep making bad work until it's good work, don't judge it." "I just think that, um, we get relegated to the kind of, um, the sidelines at where we are the um, the weird help. And when we stopped accepting that role and we choose to be in power, um, the world is, that will be a better place" "You know, what you do is you make things for you, you make work to make you happy first and then, um, um, and then see how that, how that reflects off them." "You don't need everybody. You need your audience. You're own weirdness is going to bring in your own audience" "Writing is not hard is the sitting or sitting and doing nothing, staying there and doing it." (on his book "Feck Perfuction") "The reason they are dangerous ideas is because they're dangerous to your perception of yourself there dangerous to your ego, they're dangerous to your status quo. They're dangerous to your security and comfort financially. Um, they're dangerous to what you think of as creative." I think that this book is, it's everything that I need to kind of keep moving forward. And I think there are things in there that can help people tremendously. Thank you James! Want to support us?

My guest today, James Victore, has been described as part Darth Vader, part Yoda, prolific storyteller, designer, provocateur, artist, activist and teacher. James Victore is the designer and creative thought leader whom people look to find clarity and purpose in their life and work.James is widely known for his timely wisdom and impassioned views about design and its place in the world. At the helm of his independently run design studio, James is always working to make work that is sexy, strong and memorable, that takes a strong position and often toes the line between sacred and the profane.And, the world has taken notice. His work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York (and he shares a pretty funny story about that in our conversation), is in the permanent collections of the Louvre and the Library of Congress and his client list includes industry-leaders like Adobe, Starbucks, Aveda and many foundations on a mission to create change in the world. James taught at the School of Visual Arts in NYC for over 20 years. His new book, “Feck Perfuction“ (https://amzn.to/2EksGze) is sort of his manifesto on living a creative, full-contact and alive life.Check out our offerings & partners: Blinkist: Key takeaways from the world’s best nonfiction books in text and audio.

We are on a sabbatical week and we are starting something new. Hope you enjoy the new format for our off recording weeks! Find us on all forms of social media via @BrandiSea on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and you can email us any burning questions you want Brandi to answer on an episode at brandi@brandisea.com. [clear-line] TRANSCRIPT [00:03] Hey guys! I'm BrandiSea, and you're listening to episode 80 of design speaks. This week is a sabbatical week, which means that Michelle and I don't record together, but, um, I've decided to repurpose some of my older content, some stuff that I have out on youtube. Um, I used to do something called design tip Tuesdays. If you'd just do youtube.com/brandiseadesign you'll be able to check those out. They're just anywhere between three and five or six-minute clips of me just talking, giving you a quick tip. And I hope that you enjoy it. This week's design tip is, have a purpose. So I understand that the word purpose has like this huge meaning behind it. Um, I think people really struggle their whole life sometimes is finding a purpose, but, um, for, for our sake, for this particular Tuesday, um, I mean more like finding the why behind what you do. [01:09] Um, so why do I do these design tips? Because I want to share easy ways to be a better creative that don't sound complicated, that don't require thousands and thousands of dollars of design education. I want to be able to help people. It's the same reason that I do my podcast. It's the same reason I started the blog. I don't want to just complain about all the bad design out there. I want to help people become better designers by sharing what I know instead of keeping it to myself. So that's my why. That's my purpose. That's why I show up here every week. It's why I teach at the school where I teach. I also have a different why behind the actual design work that I do. I do the design work that I do because I love to be creative. I love to experiment. I love to combine colors and shapes and images and really make cool things out of them and it's fulfilling for me to be able to come up with something that is my very own and finding my voice is my why and my purpose in my actual work. [02:14] So I know it sounds complicated, but if you just ask yourself like, why do I do graphic design? Why am I creative? Why do I paint? Why do I draw? There's a why in there somewhere that you have an answer to, and it's really important to kind of analyze that every now and then so that you remember on those really rough days when you're like hating your life as a creative because those days happen that there's a reason why you're here. There's a reason why you're doing what you do, and, uh, if you need to play it up somewhere, excellence is another one in my wise, I want to pursue excellence and I have it. I made a flag at James Victore's retreat that says, "excellence" on it so I can remember when I'm having hard time. This is what I have to strive for. So find your purpose, figure it out, remind yourself of it, and I promise you that it will help you get through those, those tough, creative dave. Michelle and I will be back next week with a full episode. Until then, check out our patrion and share this podcast with a friend.

Espresso Yourself By Any Beans Necessary We live in a world where outside marketing forces make millions by seducing and influencing us to buy their product or services. Then we spend endless hours on social media unconsciously consuming other people's perfectly-curated feeds. It's easy to feel brainwashed into wanting these people's lives. This desire causes us to mimic what we see so we can attempt to "fit in and be happy." After spending much of my life getting bullied, all I ever wanted was to fit in—but I'm realizing I'd rather express myself as I am and stand out. So many of us creatives want to show up and be seen. However, we play it safe and tiptoe the edge of what's comfortable and what we think others want to see. That's why part two of the Coffee Caffeinated Kick Series is all about Espresso Yourself By Any Beans Necessary. Today's episode is a two-part approach to playing the short game while planning for the long game. The Short Game First, our focus starts by helping you find your groove and voice by creating work that expresses yourself. We do this by breaking away from people-pleasing and celebrating our weird. The Long Game Second, I'm planting a bigger picture in your head of how your work should target one specific person (your perfect follower). Then, we'll talk about scaling that to 1,000 True Fans to make a living as a creator. Enjoy This Episode?

Design Your Life podcast Episode 009 with American creative James Victore. James Victore is an American art director, designer, and author. He is first-and-foremost an artist who “teaches creativity and personal growth,” says the man himself. Victore's work has been exhibited in the wildly prestigious Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) as well as the Louvre in Paris. He has won numerous awards and accolades for his racy unique social and political commentary posters as well as television directorials (including an Emmy), and has even published a tell-all monograph titled, Who Died and Made You Boss? Featuring not just his highly sought-after work, but the ideas and thinking that drive it. In this episode you'll discover James's seismic life shift, transitioning from his career as a designer to a creative and personal growth teacher. Here, James dissects the finer points of his life as an artistic educator, and his – at times – tumultuous journey to rediscovering his passion and creative purpose without “shoving his ‘weird' in a draw”.

James is a designer, artist, educator and author but also an incredibly proud Father. Here we talk about dropping out of art college and going back to teach (at the same school). We look at teaching college students compared to adult professionals and how his teaching/client work has recently changed balance, to incorporate more personal growth retreats. Most of all we discuss James’ outlook on life and how each day is a chance to learn for him, his book Who Died and Made You Boss? and his recently finished book Feck Perfuction and speaking tour of the same name.

James Victore isn't just a graphic designer, he isn't just an author, he's not only a teacher and a mentor, and most certainly he isn't just a badass. He's all of that combined. He has carved out a place for himself in graphic design history and truly set himself apart from the rest of the crowd. He might be opinionated and provocative, but if you listen to what he says carefully it all makes sense. Hear what he has to say about him evolving as a person and why he no longer considers himself as just a graphic designer. http://www.listencloseshow.com/
