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:

“If you don’t focus on something, you’re never going to get very far in anything.”

“Creativity is a way for us to be seen, expressed and healed in our lives.”

“The inner critic is the super villain of the creative self.”

“If you’re going to step out into the world as any kind of artist, you will be rejected most of the time.  And that’s okay.  The trick is to remember that you are not your creation.”
