Creative Turning Point

Above all no matter what you do it feels like we have reached a creative turning point. Details in Creative-Turning-Point-Bob Davis Podcast 1097.

All The Shows

Firstly I have been catching up on all the shows I missed when I was traveling.

And for me that means watching a lot of TV for the past thirty days.

Social Media Horror Show

Secondly my readers and listeners know my feelings about the horror show social media has become.

Stale

But this time around something feels off.

Even more ‘stale’.

Sameness

That is to say there is a sort of ‘sameness’ in what I am seeing and experiencing as a viewer and user.

Creative Inspiration

More importantly those feelings cause me to ask questions about creative inspiration in my own efforts.

Ground Breaking Drought

For example where are we when it comes to truly ground breaking creative ideas brought into the world?

Socials and Streamers

Certainly the so called streamers and the socials are having issues.

Peak Scripted TV?

The number of shows are being cut back.

Struggling

In addition the social media sites are struggling.

Finally the whole thing just doesn’t feel the same to me as it did a few years a go when all this stuff was new.

How Do You Find Compelling Content

In addition perhaps that is one of the reasons I decided to go on the road.

After that I found more compelling content.

New Ideas

For instance I found travel and nomad life to be a wellspring of new ideas.

Source

To sum up how do you ‘re-pot’ yourself?

Further what is your source of inspiration and creative ideas when preparing to take your next step?

Turning Point

In conclusion it does feel like we’re at a creative turning point across the board in this land.

Next

Most importantly the question of what’s next?

Reflections-From-The-Desert-Bob Davis Podcast 1075

Reflections-From-The-Desert-Bob Davis Podcast 1075

Reflections From The Desert

Firstly the desert is a perfect place for reflection. Learn more in Reflections-From-The-Desert-Bob Davis Podcast 1075.

Creative Process

Secondly what’s your creative process?

Certainly there’s a lot to discuss about creative process in this podcast.

Free Wheeling Discussion

And a lonely desert with a campfire is the perfect spot for a free wheeling discussion.

Slow Is Fast

Above all I have learned working slowly is actually working fast.

And thorough.

Hyper Person

Of course people have thought of me as a hyper person.

One Thing At A Time

But in fact I like to work on one thing at a time and follow it through.

Stacking Creative Projects

Therefore stopped down in the desert means working on a writing project I’ve given myself.

As well as these podcasts.

Podcast Ideas

In fact developing unique ideas for the podcasts can be difficult these days.

Social Scrim

That is to say my listeners and subscribers know I refuse to get in the political social scrim.

Deeper Issues

However I do feel that advancing the story means talking about deeper issues.

Recent Podcasts Have Been Heavy

As a result some of the podcasts recently have been pretty heavy.

Time for an easy talker.

Campfire

So a campfire is just the ticket.

Structure

I also sum up the structure of my days out here.

Fuel Prices

Due to high fuel prices most nomads I know are hunkered down for the winter.

Southwestern Arizona

In fact Southwestern Arizona is perfect.

Perfect Fall Day

For example now that the monsoon is over everyday out here is like a perfect fall day in the Upper Midwest.

For the rest of the winter.

Channels Of Thought

Most importantly writing in addition to podcasting changes the channels of thought in a good way.

And I think will result in a sense of accomplishment after the winter months pass.

Second Year Anniversary

In short as I come up on the anniversary of a second year of nomad travel there’s a lot to talk about.

First Year

Finally the first year seemed to be in almost constant movement.

Second Year

On the other hand the second year has been a completely different vibe.

Experiences

In conclusion the great thing about nomad life is the experiences the nomad gives himself.

I'll-Take-The-Artists-Way-Bob Davis Podcast 1029

I’ll-Take-The-Artists-Way-Bob Davis Podcast 1029

I’ll Take The Artists Way

Above all I’ll take The Artists Way. Therefore I’ll-Take-The-Artists-Way-Bob Davis Podcast 1029 is about how creative businesses may not respond to the usual business advice.

Wearing Two Hats

Firstly I have come to the conclusion wearing two hats isn’t always a good idea.

For example I’m a Podcaster, Blogger, Writer and a sales guy.

At Odds With Myself

On the contrary trying to be a creator and sales guy might be at odds for a creative business.

Personal Inventory

Consequently during this season of personal inventory and review I’ll Take The Artists Way.

Certainly I’ll continue to serve current and future sponsors.

Shifting Focus To Bliss

But I am shifting my focus.

No More Limiting Creativity

To clarify I have decided to cut loose certain approaches that have limited my creativity.

The Need To Explain

Even more, practices that have made me feel the need to explain away my creativity.

Or Apologize

Or even apologize for it.

No more.

Principles Of A Creative Business

That is to say I am rededicating myself to the principles of a creative business.

Overnight Success

For example we creators might work blissfully for a long time and no one notices. It isn’t for everyone, but if you’re a creative, it’s the life.

After Years Of Work

Subsequently something goes viral or you build up over time and suddenly you’re an ‘overnight’ success.

Creative Upside Can Be Huge

In other words the potential of a creative business is unlike the potential of any other kind of ‘predictable’ business.

Best Practices? No Thanks

Most importantly we can’t rely on ‘best practices’ and screaming motivational coaches.

What’s A Spread Sheet?

Moreover we don’t respond to spread sheets and restrictions because we just don’t care.

Creators Can Cash In

In addition the truth is a creative business may have more upside potential than a bunch of apartment buildings and tire shops.

You never know.

Unlock The Potential

And the only way to unlock that potential is to concentrate on one’s own creative impulse.

Decision Time

In short I can observe and orient a thing to death while trying to wear two or three hats.

This is a time for decision.

Action Time

But most importantly it is a time for action.

In I’ll-Take-The-Artists-Way-Bob Davis Podcast 1029 I’ll explain what I am doing and why.
