Everyone has seen fight club right, well it might just hold the key to entering the creative flow state. 

In this episode we draw wisdom from the pinnacles of philosophy, Brad Pitt and Kung Fu Panda

Two part equation to enter the flow state: 1. Use your body and brain in unison to focus on doing one thing. 2. Do it without criticism or judgement.

The wise, intentional, creative and incredibly heartfelt Kyle Steed is back with us for a round 2 interview! We we were able to go a bit deeper in this one having set things up last time to talk about the muse, creative resistance, whether inspiration exists and beyond. Kyle takes us through the twists and turns of his creative career including his time in the airforce. We uncover some very interesting thoughts around self belief, internal narrative and how this shapes how we view ourselves. And perhaps my favourite part of the whole chat, equally enjoyable and uncomfortable, we get into paradoxes of life, art and beyond. Kyle has this great ability to very quickly get to the heart of an idea and bring everything back in perspective that I admire, so enjoy this chat with Kyle Steed, again.

Log ten slow miles for every fast one. You can be slow, gentle and methodical but what you cannot be is inconsistent.

Madeline Holt is an incredibly considered and wise creative human that applies her hand at many different artistic outputs, most recently her practice has her working with light installations. Madeline has such a bank of wisdom that we pick through piece by piece, most of which was self taught and we learn was gleaned through trial and error. During our chat we learn about the intentional process that Madeline holds in her practice down to the colour of foods she eats, dive into her winding creative journey, and learn why music is tightly linked to her creative output. I think what I loved most about this conversation is the fantastically healthy and positive perspective that Madeline has not only on creativity but life in general. Madeline talks about how to beat the resistance through friendship and finding your tribe, she shares her experiences and learnings with us about trust, ambiguity, finding yourself and your style. So many great analogies and mantra's shared in this one, too many to count, so I hope you enjoy. Jump in as Madeline makes me blush, we do my favourite thing in the whole world, talk gardening analogies and we launch Madelines Mantra. Introducing Madeline Holt On Immersive Art.

Quotes

"Creativity is such a natural thing, it kind of lines up like Nature you know it has cycles, it has seasons."

"It's understanding where you are at in your cycle or season, it's not going to be a linear output of creativity and content, that's not how the creative process flows."

"The ability to be adaptable and be able to change and pivot is a really valuable tool or reflex within the creative practice. 

"Trust and show up for the practice."

"It's about staying engaged with the question and not seeking answers."

"The moment between idea and action, keeping that as short as possible."

"The things that benefit us most are not the things that we intellectualise, it's the things that we experience through our body."

"Just because you don't know how to do something doesn’t mean you cant do it.

I had the pleasure of speaking to Nimrod Weis, one of the co-founders of the extremely creative, highly inventive and wonderfully playful studio ENESS. ENESS is an art and technology company who design evocative interactive experiences for public, commercial and cultural entities. The work that ENESS produces is able to hit that sweet spot of art that is able delight both a 6 year old and a 60 year old simultaneously, they are also masters of balancing art, commerce, technology and design. During our conversation we dive into the inception of the studio and how from day one Nimrod and his business partner have been reinvesting every spare dime and minute back into the work. We go through Nimrods creative routine and practices and uncover the correlation between a high performing athlete and an artist. It is really fabulous to hear the inner-workings and thoughts on process and the creative practice from Nimrod and we end up diving pretty deep into the psychology of creativity and curiosity. Join us as we uncover quantum physics, discover why the goal isn't to have no problems at all but rather to have more interesting problems and why nimrod sits on the floor.

Quotes

"The focus now for me and for us, is what problems are we solving, what messages are we conveying , what feelings are we evoking and then apply technology to it. "

"Use what is within your means."

"It's risk that allows for that element of something new."

" I kind of never stop in the sense of imagining or being curious."

"If you imagine an athlete, you think of someone waking up at 5:30 in the morning, and you think about a creative, I'm not seeing them getting up that early."

"We are entertaining a 6 year old and a we’re entertaining a 60 year old."

Can taking action quiet the inner critic, allow you to find your voice and actually create momentum? Momentum and action are powerful forces, if you are ready and have the ability to use it to your advantage when it comes.
