The principal focus of our discourse centers on the imperative of transcending conventional boundaries within the creative process, particularly in the realm of music composition. We elucidate the notion that genuine innovation arises when one dares to deviate from established templates, fostering an environment conducive to the emergence of novel trends. Throughout the conversation, I share my personal methodology for crafting songs, which predominantly involves an organic approach, wherein I collaborate with producers and musicians, allowing the music to guide the creative output rather than adhering strictly to predefined structures. This fluidity in the songwriting process not only enhances creativity but also facilitates a deeper connection to the material, steering clear of overthinking and self-imposed constraints. Ultimately, we arrive at the conclusion that the essence of music creation lies in the balance between self-exploration and receptivity to external feedback, ensuring that the final product resonates authentically with both the artist and the audience.Takeaways: To cultivate originality in music, one must transcend conventional boundaries and explore novel avenues. Identifying what unique elements one contributes can lead to the inception of new musical trends. The creative process of songwriting often evolves, shifting from structured approaches to spontaneous exploration. A musician's journey involves continuous development, as past works may not align with future artistic aspirations. The significance of collaboration with trusted individuals cannot be overstated, as they provide essential feedback. Achieving a sense of completeness in a song necessitates confidence and assurance in its quality before public sharing.

Is genuine originality a realistic goal for artists?From fashion to fantasy, entertainment to enterprise, we seek the 'new' as the means to originality, change, and creativity. And for the most part, we imagine the new is always identifiable as a radical break from the past. But the nature of the new is more elusive and unknown than it first appears. Is the new an illusion, and the search for originality a mistake? Should creative endeavour be focussed on other goals, such as the timeless, the provocative, and the beautiful? Or is the new an essential part of life, creativity and action, without which we would have mere passive re-orderings of the known?Martin Puchner is a literary critic and philosopher. He is the Byron and Anita Wien Chair of Drama and of English and Comparative Literature at Harvard University. Claire Hynes is Associate Professor in Literature & Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia, and an author of fiction and creative non-fiction. Stanley Fish is a literary critic, legal scholar, and public intellectual. Renowned for his role in developing reader-response theory in literary studies, Fish has written on a wide range of topics including the poetry of John Milton, the distinction between free speech and academic freedom, and the doctrine of liberalism.

Host Michael Azevedo welcomes back journalist and media analyst Brandon Katz. Brandon's recent article in The Observer, titled "The Decline of Originality in Hollywood: a Look at the Numbers" explores how original content, in TV shows and movies, have, over the past 15 years, lost out in a landslide to existing IP, meaning Intellectual Property.   Existing IP is defined as anything based on pre-existing material such as comic books, novels, video games, podcasts and musicals and including remakes, reboots, revivals, prequels, sequels and spinoffs.    If you look at the numbers—viewership and ticket sales—it's undeniable that IP-driven content is a powerhouse. Audiences flock to familiar characters and worlds, guaranteeing a certain level of viewership and, crucially, revenue. In a risk-averse industry, leaning on established IP is a seemingly safe bet.   Brandon and Michael took a deep dive into this topic and, as usual, Brandon's comments are fact-based, diligently researched, and reveal a unique understanding of the media's creative aspirations and its financial preoccupations.    Making Media Now is sponsored by Filmmakers Collaborative, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting media makers from across the creative spectrum. From providing fiscal sponsorship to presenting an array of informative and educational programs, Filmmakers Collaborative supports creatives at every step in their journey.

With Terrell sick with his family, this week of the MalloryBros Podcast the Bros ironically talk VIRTUALLY about the recent trend of AI Apps recreating well known Artistic styles with the simple touch of a button. They speak about how that creates tension between Original Artists and the future of technology. Which should we honor? Speed or Originality? The Bros also give thoughts on the controversial situation with Marvin Sapp and how he raises money with his church. This is a sensitive topic because it's wrapped with religion, but of course the Bros give an honest critique to the viral clip that's resurfaced this past week. Next they speak on the popular Youtube show "Pop The Balloon or Find Love"  whose creators just signed a new deal with Netflix to bring a special to Thursday nights. The Bros speak about what this means for creators and the heights that can be reached with a move like this. They also speak on if this is a good look for the culture or if some of the backlash is an overreaction. You decide. Later in the episode, Terrance speaks on an Emmitt Till fact that might actually shock you if you didn't know already, and the Bros end with a conversaton about Chris Brown's upcoming ERA's Tour and what this summer is about to look like for 2025 concerts. Of course with some "what you look like" bits in the mix, it's another week with the Boys!

Happy Holidays. Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Hanukkah. I hope 2024 was the best year ever for you and yours but pales in comparison to 2025. This was an interesting year, one of challenges for the design industry. But more importantly to me, because so many of the people behind design, my friends, family, people I care about, it's even more important than ever to simply remind you that this was a good year and I know a lot of you are worried, concerned about what 2025 will bring for a number of reasons. Political, social and economic. I am a realistic optimist and I think we are headed into a fantastic year. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. Monogram - It's the details that define Monogram ThermaSol - Redefining the modern shower experience. Without steam, it's just a bathroom. Design Hardware - A stunning and vast collection of jewelry for the home!  - Where service meets excellence TimberTech - Real wood beauty without the upkeep Two parts to that. A realist and an optimist. Those two ideas are not always compatible. There are going to be issues to overcome over the next few years, there is no doubt about that. But that doesn't mean that you can't only survive, but thrive. Chaos and challenging times are when designers and architects thrive most, why? Because uncomfortable times create a need for better spaces. Think about it. Post Great Depression architecture included Art Moderne, PWA Moderne, WPA Rustic through the U.S. New Deal and this was a time for Modernism to thrive creating a whole new design industry. WWII created the Mid-Century Modern movement and mew approaches to living. The Atomic Age ushered in a new approach to personal safety through residential bomb shelters. new products and materials. A new approach to power consumption with a focus on electrification and modern technologies within the home. It's almost as if the greater the chaos, the greater the opportunity for those who craft , design and create safe spaces. Think about that. Changes to the design industry are coming: AI - We've been talking about artificial intelligence on the show since late 2022. It's no longer coming. It's here. And to those with whom I have spoken asking if they are going to lose their job to AI, I will tell you what I tell them. Probably not. AI can't do your job. You're going to lose you jobs to the designer who knows how to use AI. It's not about prompts, high capacity CPU's or the ideation a computer can do that you can't. It's the tasks and roles AI can play within your design firm that will make all the difference. If you are still bound by past methods of doing the work, better educated designers will have more time to pursue projects, deliver proposals and create faster project completions. It's not just talent anymore, but the speed at which you can deliver on each milestone of the project. We all need to be lifelong learners and increase the speed at which we work. That, and using AI to stay on top of the new ideas your clients will be asking for. Dupes - The moment something unique is created, someone is working on ways to steal the idea. It sucks, but that's the way it is. There is a break between budgetary constraints and creating a uniquely special space. Remember a few years ago, during the pandemic when storytelling was what clients wanted. Designers were perfectly suited to deliver on that. Now, clients want the economic pain to stop and shrinking budgets have led to a proliferation of dupes. It's still not okay. Be original and clients will follow. Dupes are not the same as they original. While they may look similar, there is a reason why they are cheaper than the original and it usually has to do with the materials you don't see but will certainly feel. Originality and Authenticity - A strong design firm is such because they produce concepts that are unique. Fads and trends come and go,

My guest today is Boyd Varty. Boyd is a lion tracker, life coach, and storyteller who grew up in the South African wilderness, living amongst and tracking wild leopards. This is his fourth time on Invest Like the Best but the first in six years. Boyd is a perfect follow-up to my episode with Lulu Meservey unpacking the intricacies of storytelling and why it's such an essential for founders. Boyd walks us through different mechanisms of cultivating storytelling and becoming a meaning-maker. He encourages everyone to become somebody who stories happen around and be a character who finds characters. We discuss his concept of “story hunting,” leveraging stories in business, and continuously finding new meaning in life. Please enjoy my discussion with Boyd Varty.
