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 basically burnt the ships and decided I was going to be a painter.”

“I didn’t need explosions and dragons in the paintings anymore because I found the people so interesting.”

“Art made it possible for me to have a very different life than I was born into.”

“The number of things you need to know to be able to make extraordinary art is very small.  That information fits in the palm of your hand.”

“We’re always trying to find ways to make the online program feel more like what it is to walk into the actual brick-and-mortar school where I teach.”

“Every time you get a success it makes you bolder for the next one.”

“Even the pros struggle.  How they deal with the struggle is different.”
