Useful Work Produced by People We Find Reprehensible

It can be hard and downright painful to grapple with the idea that people we find reprehensible in their personal lives might also be capable of producing work that is beautiful, moving, or useful to us. How we handle and process that information and how we choose to move forward is part of our work. […]

Austin Kleon in gesprek met Ryan Holiday

Austin Kleon en Ryan Holiday komen geregeld voorbij op mijn blog. Austin Kleon — een schrijver die tekent — in het bijzonder is een echte oer-blogger en denkt veel na over creativiteit. Ryan Holiday zijn werk bestaat uit het verpakken en toepassen van klassieke stoïcijnse filosofie voor de moderne tijd. En beide heren zijn wandelde […]

Where do you get your ideas?

Identify the poison in civilization.
Then, imagine the opposite of what disgusts you.
Share this through your art as nourishment for the world.

The creative mind

The creative mind gets poisoned with the idea that your great work will be the result of getting serious. So many of my good ideas come from what looks like goofing off, wasting time. Art is play. There’s no way to tell what’s deep or shallow until you play with the idea.

This is how people actually find your show

I’m reading Amy Sillman’s Faux Pas and when I was searching her name in the Podcasts app I came across this conversation with writer Sheila Heti.

~ Austin Kleon, from Getting in and out of trouble

People find your show because they are looking for something, or someone, very specific.

People are not just sitting around thinking, “I feel like a need a new podcast to listen to… maybe something that inspires me to move more…” And then they search for “movement inspiration” . . . and then they land on my Movers Mindset show. No that’s not at all how it works. People do not find our show.

People find ONE, SPECIFIC episode. That’s what Kleon did above.

Think of a guest, or a topic, which you did about a year ago…

Now search for that person or topic in your podcast player, or in a web search engine…

Did you find that one episode you were thinking of?

Because people do that. And only then does our show description, show title, show art, episode art, episode notes, and all our hard work gives them the chance to pick us.
