Your Creative Push

Your Creative Push is the podcast that pushes YOU to pursue your creative passion, even though you have a busy, full-time life. Twice a week, Youngman Brown interviews artists, musicians, writers, photographers, graphic designers, and other inspirational creative individuals in an attempt to get them to inspire you to put aside your excuses and START DOING WORK. Each artist opens up to YOU, revealing the things that hold THEM back on a daily basis, and how they FIGHT THROUGH IT. They then give you one final push, in an attempt to motivate you to start doing work as soon as the episode is over. If you have a full-time job or full-time responsibilities and WISH that you had the COURAGE and MOTIVATION to FINALLY do that thing that has been on your mind, this podcast is for you!

Quotes:

“I think it’s so important to grow as an artist and I kind of forgot about it for ten years.”

“I got really happy, really fast with that work.”

“I was really feeling equally incredibly inspired and completely fed up with my work.”

“And so I thought this is kind of the next phase of work for me.  I want to continue to move away from what I know and go towards what I don’t know and see what happens.”

“If it brings you joy, it’s just worth it to take a little time every day and do it.”
