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:

“As a freelancer, you need some material to show off what you can do.”

“In order to put yourself out there in a way that is true to yourself, you really need to put out personal work.  And a lot of it.”

“You have to follow your own path and listen to your creative ideas.”

“Live your life and have a bit of fun.  People are too focused on making money or becoming a superstar.”

“Experience as much as you can and live a full life.  That will help you to become a better creative in the end.”
