Have you ever found yourself needing to overcome creative anxiety? We've all been there. In this episode of the Mixed Media series, we're exploring the complexities of the anxiety behind releasing creative work into the world. We share our own personal stories and give a real life example about a client hesitant to release a controversial podcast episode. By embracing the potential positive impact of our creations, we encourage fellow creatives to conquer their fears and connect with their audiences, despite the fear of vulnerability.

We also highlight the role of collaboration and long-term relationships in nurturing creativity and personal growth. Our reflections emphasize the courage required to release creative work and celebrate the invaluable feedback that enriches the creative process. The endless pursuit of perfection takes over the conversation as we explore the challenges artists face with criticism and fear of releasing work that may not be flawless. By urging artists to appreciate their journey and recognize their contributions' true worth, the possibilities for impact become much greater.

- What helped Jeremy come to the realization that he needed to be less worried about the creative projects he would put out into the world.

- The memorable moments that make the uncomfortable moments worthwhile.

- Trust the circle you've built for essential feedback.

-Create for YOU. It's just a blessing that someone else is willing to look, listen, or watch.

After coming off of a couple of days on the road, I'm sharing parts of my experience of attending a recent HR and compliance conference, focusing on how the simple things we don't even think about every day, need to be shared with others. This event wasn't just about the technicalities of laws and recruiting; it was a reminder of the power of networking, if done correctly. From the discomfort of introducing yourself to strangers to the strategic art of deciding who is the best fit for your team, we touch on the nuances of human connection and alignment.

It's more than connection and alignment though, it's about culture and values, and the potential for growth when someone buys into your vision. This episode will empower you to foster a thriving, cohesive work environment that champions your mission.

- People need to hear about the simple things you do to create connection.

- Just because someone starts off with different values, doesn't mean they can't align.

- Always listen, and ask more questions.

1:50 People need to hear about the simple things you do that you don't even think about.

5:31 Listen first, then ask questions.

7:29 WHY you need to share the simple things.

8:17 You don't have to engage, just take the message and do something with it.
