Podcasts about new creative age

This week we revisit our eye-opening conversation with Jeff Goins on how to find your big idea and create your unique take on it. Rory and AJ share their top three takeaways from their conversation with Jeff Goins, the best-selling author of five books including Real Artists Don't Starve: Timeless Strategies for Thriving in the New Creative Age and The Art of Work: A Proven Path to Discovering What You Were Meant to Do. Tuning in, you'll hear Rory and AJ discuss some of Jeff's most incisive insights, including the twenty percent rule and why you need to sell the idea of a book, rather than the book itself. Tune in today for this quick and insightful recap! 

Thanks to Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing, putting a book out into the world is easier than ever. But just because something is easy to do, doesn't necessarily mean you should do it. This week on The Influential Personal Brand Podcast we are joined by one of our favorite long-time part-ners Jeff Goins. Jeff is the best-selling author of five books including Real Artists Don't Starve: Timeless Strategies for Thriving in the New Creative Age and The Art of Work: A Proven Path to Discovering What You Were Meant to Do. Jeff has spent over 15 years in the marketing and publishing space, and in that time has developed a masterful intuition for what works and what doesn't, especially when it comes to choosing which ideas to pursue and how to implement them. Tuning in you'll hear Jeff explain why good ideas don't necessarily result in good books, how to find the perfect balance between the familiar and the absurd, and why you can only sub-vert expectations once you've fulfilled them. Our conversation with Jeff is filled with remarkable insights that will give you a renewed appreciation for the art of storytelling and the Olympian ef-fort involved with writing a great book. Make sure you tune in to hear it all!

Sometimes when you embark on a new project and everything looks good but you have a gut feeling that you'll lose every penny you have, you need to stop and address it right there, no matter how slight the gut feel was. This was not what our guest in today's episode of Burning Money did. He went through it still because he felt he needed to get started and whatever the outcome will be, he will learn from it anyway. At the end of the day, he still won because he kept moving back up. Our guest, Chris Baden  lost $125.00 from a deal and on another, more than $700,000 in their software company, but for him it's not the amount of money that was lost. Listen on and know why Chris thinks losing both amounts of money does not differ in the deeper context of it all. Great take-aways on this episode, enjoy listening! In this episode: - What is that core skill that has changed his life? - Key takeaway from the biggest mistake while scaling up - Why is it important to put everything on paper - A quick story where Chris lost over $700,000 in their software company. - Why is it important to know where the money is coming from, where it is going, and who gets it, before you start on your entrepreneurial journey? - Conviction vs Convincing, which is better as a sales pitch? - It's not the amount of money that was lost because the experience, the thinking, the emotions, the principles are not any different from losing a small amount or a big amount.

But if we can just embrace that instead and go, ‘Yeah, this is who I am. It’s okay for me to be this way. Not only is it okay, but I actually have gifts that are different than yours—and all I have to do is learn to use them.” Michelle Shaeffer is an international speaker and author at Girl Blogger Next Door. She is passionate about helping mission-driven entrepreneurs build profitable businesses that make a positive impact on the world. An expert in the area of content marketing and online lead generation, Michelle is also the creator of the HookLine Dynamic app. She has written 42 blog posts in a single day, mentored more the 15K bloggers through the Ultimate Blog Challenge, and published more than 1K posts on her own blogs.

She discusses how the pen name she used as a protection mechanism became the brand for her online business and how she accidentally discovered the power of blogging to reach potential clients. Michelle describes how she overcomes her reluctance to speak on stage or talk about herself by focusing on how she can serve others.

Jeff is the bestselling author of "Real Artists Don't Starve." I've wanted him to come on this podcast for over a year. Because he knows the secret to become a "thriving artist." "That's somebody who makes money so they can make more art," he said. The key is to combine your art with a business sense (even if it's just the basics). Start with your natural talents. Turn those talents into skill (through practice). Develop a business sense (more on this in the podcast) and figure out "what does ownership" look like in your space. This is the guide to becoming a real artist. A wealthy artist. (You'll even learn HOW to ask for money.)

Two years ago, I interviewed bestselling author Jeff Goins on my podcast about a book he had just published then, The Art of Work. That book was about finding your calling and figuring out how to pursue it, and it went on to become a USA Today bestseller. I invited Jeff back on the show to talk about his latest book, Real Artists Don’t Starve: Timeless Strategies for Thriving in the New Creative Age, which recently hit The Wall Street Journal bestseller list. In our conversation, Jeff shares a few of the practical and time-tested strategies that writers, artists, and other creative professionals can use to earn a living while pursuing their art. Jeff also dives deep into the exact process he followed when he wrote the book, from crafting the big question he wanted to answer, to conducting extensive research into the lives of some of the most successful artists of the past 500 years, like Michelangelo and Van Gogh. To buy Jeff’s book just head over to writewithimpact.com/artist. That will take you to Jeff's Amazon page where you can instantly download the book for your Kindle app, or purchase a print copy.

Jeff Goins is the author of four books, including the national best seller, The Art of Work. He is also a full-time blogger, speaker, and entrepreneur. Jeff’s award-winning blog, GoinsWriter.com, has been visited by over four million people from around the world. His work has been featured in the Washington Post, USA Today, Entrepreneur, Forbes, and Psychology Today. He and his wife, Ashley, live just outside of Nashville, TN with their two children and dog.

I first met author Jeff Goins in the back of a car on the way to the airport in Dallas. We had both spoken at a large event in Texas and yet somehow hadn’t crossed paths before. After the typical introductions and discussion of what we were working on, he reached into his bag and politely said, “I don’t usually do this, but I think you would really appreciate my latest book Wrecked based on what you just told me.” He was right. I loved the book; it was also the book I needed to read at that moment in time. Jeff is a writer, keynote speaker, and award-winning blogger with a reputation for challenging the status quo. He is the bestselling author of five books, including The Art of Work, which landed on the bestseller lists of USA Today, Publisher’s Weekly, and The Washington Post. He doesn’t simply love writing. He loves writing to help other people achieve success. Jeff’s latest book, Real Artists Don't Starve: Timeless Strategies for Thriving in the New Creative Age, is full of stories he has collected from a variety of different creative professionals to showcase how anyone can find success creating their art of choice. We had a great conversation about writing, his days in a band, and being a father. I hope you enjoy listening to it. Be sure to share this episode and others with anyone you think would love it. iTunes reviews are always appreciated.

You know that story of the penniless, underappreciated, unrealized "starving artist?" It's the story that somehow equates "great art" with "no money." It's time for that myth to die! Best-selling author Jeff Goins leads the charge in his new book, Real Artists Don't Starve: Timeless Strategies for Thriving in the New Creative Age. This is an important conversati0n if you, or someone you love, is a creative trying to make a living with his/her art! "For centuries, the myth of the starving artist has dominated our culture, seeping into the minds of creative people and stifling their pursuits. But the truth is that the world's most successful artists did not starve. In fact, they capitalized on the power of their creative strength." It's an honor to welcome Jeff Goins back on The PhotoTellers for his second interview. I was thrilled to receive a copy of his newest book a few months ago, and I read it intently (scribbling 16 pages of notes). Jeff therein paints glaring contrasts between the Starving Artist and the Thriving Artist. It required Jeff 100's of interviews and 100's of biographies to research, then write, and the world has spoken! Within 1 month of release, the book has hit best-seller status. What can you expect to learn from our conversation? What makes Jeff qualified to write this book? Do you have to be ultra famous to be a thriving artist? Why did he write the book? Where did the starving artist myth come from? Martyrdom and the role of the starving artist myth "Activity follows identity . . . . You live out the story that you believe." -Jeff Goins Chapter 3 especially resonated with me, and Jeff and I spend a great deal of time on this topic: Apprentice Under a Master. Hear Jeff explain: Why is apprenticeship important? How to be a great apprentice--lessons from Michelangelo's days as the student. "The Case Study Strategy." How to get the approach a master, and how not to. Jeff's 3 not-to-do items for approaching a potential mentor. How Jeff blew his first meeting with Michael Hyatt. The formula for grabbing the master's attention: "Thanks for X, it helped me do Y. Now what about Z?" "THRIVING ARTIST--What does it mean 'to thrive?' It means I get up everyday, I get to do what I love, I get to make my art. Yes, it's work, but it doesn't have to be drudgery. And I get paid for it!" -Jeff Goins As the conversation draws to a close, you'll also hear Jeff's research on artists who work for free. If you're thinking that you need to give away your work for exposure, or a chance at paid work later, THIS IS IMPORTANT. He'll then give 2 words of help for the artist who is struggling to create a viable livelihood from their art. What legacy does Jeff want to leave? That's in there, too. [It was an in-depth conversation!] And then . . . dear reader . . . the conversation turns dark. It involves a public argument between Jeff Goins and Jon Acuff regarding the best Batman ever. I won't type out the harrowing, sordid details. You'll have to listen yourself. One of them is obviously a sensible, upstanding fellow. The other guy might be okay, but shouldn't be watching Batman. #JesusJuke #JonAcuffNeedsHelp. ___________________ If you'd like to connect with Jeff, find him ON TWITTER.

Jeff Goins is author of “Real Artists Don’t Starve: Timeless Strategies for Thriving in the New Creative Age.” Jeff dismantles the myth that being creative is a hindrance to success and reveals how an artistic temperament is an advantage in the competitive marketplace. Mindset, technique and understanding the right perspective is key, and Jeff helps get you there. We all know there are staving artists in the world. We have told ourselves long enough that artists need to be struggling – that’s a myth. You can be creative and make money. Jeff uses an example of Michelangelo and how he was actually wealthy to the tune of about 47 million dollars. If the renaissance’s greatest artist was one of the wealthiest artists, then what does that tell us about today? How did Jeff go down the path he is on now? Jeff is a big fan of apprenticeship and has always had the mindset that life is a classroom. Apprenticeship and observing how other successful artists have made a living is how you get started. Many find success by essentially stealing ideas from others and arranging it in a new, interesting and better way. Apple and Microsoft or McDonalds and In n Out are great examples of stealing from everyone around them and doing better. Look at your peers, the people in your industry and just do it better. Be persistent. Another way to become a thriving artist is to own as much of your art as you can for as long as possible. Jay Z and Dr. Dre are two examples of this. You don’t let the label and manager take over you. Dre realized he didn’t want or need a manager, label, or partner in his company. It took him some time and going through a few learning experiences but he eventually established his own label on his own terms. Michael and Jeff end with a story about Disney and Pixar showing listeners that selling your art too soon can leave a lot of money on the table. In this episode of Trend Following Radio: Apprenticeship What is your life’s work Being an artist in today’s world Owning the title that you want for yourself You are what you say you are

True or False: You can’t be a real artist and make money. Most other professions are more reliable and stable than any kind of art. A lower percentage of artists make a stable, livable income than other For art to be pure, the artist should not do it for the money. The only way for an artist to “make it” they must “sell out.” If you answered TRUE to ANY of those statements, you need some de-programming.

Spiritual Foundations Our word for this episode comes from Ephesians 4:29, “Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.” We all know what happens if your computer gets a corrupted hard drive. It’s been infected and is no longer capable of properly performing the task it was assigned. The same is true for the words you speak. If they are infected with negative and hurtful attitudes they are no longer capable of performing the task they were given from God. What is that task? Your words were designed to edify, uplift, and encourage those around you…and yourself. Selah. Tip of the Week Our tip of the week, not surprisingly, is connected to our guest Jeff Goins and his new book, “Real Artists Don’t Starve: Timeless Strategies for Thriving in the New Creative Age.” One of the things I love most about this book is that it debunks the myth of the starving artist.
