Episode 88: Time Out
The hardest part of being a consistent creator is admitting when consistency starts to dilute the work. I’m choosing a short podcast hiatus, even though I love building things in series and I genuinely want to show up with fresh ideas. If you’ve ever felt boxed in by a content calendar or pushed to speak before you’ve had time to think, you’ll recognize the tension I’m naming out loud.Like this? J

Episode 86: Two Type Nerds Geeking Out. Charles Nix
Most people think creativity is about talent and inspiration. We don’t. Creativity shows up as obsession, rebellion, and a strangely tuned attention to tiny details and Charles Nix is the perfect guide for that. Charles grew up with a real offset printing press in his basement, went on to teach typography for decades (including leading communication design at Parsons), and now serves as Senior Exe
Episode 85: AI Q&A Part Two
AI is starting to feel less like a tool and more like a demand: adapt right now, train on prompts, and don’t ask too many questions. We push back hard on that pressure, starting with the incentives behind the hype. When the business model is shaky, the marketing gets louder, and when the infrastructure is built on data extraction, “data centers” start to look a lot like surveillance centers. That
Episode 84: AI ain't your friend. A Q+A
AI can write a decent paragraph, mock up a concept, and spin infinite ad variants in seconds. The scarier question is what it does to us when we start believing the machine more than we believe ourselves. I’m coming off a live “AI and You” webinar with a packed Q&A, and I’m taking the biggest questions into the studio to answer them with more honesty than a corporate slide deck will ever allow
Episode 83: The Process Is All We Have

Episode 82: On Public Speaking
Stage fright isn’t a personality trait, it’s a habit of self-protection and it can be unlearned. After coming back from a talk in Dusseldorf, Germany, I’m sharing the public speaking tips that keep me excited instead of terrified, even when I’m nervous.

Episode 80: AI Is Here
AI’s growing presence isn’t the result of perfection or widespread readiness—it’s the outcome of rapid integration into nearly every aspect of modern life. This shift raises a difficult question for creatives: when a tool can generate endless concepts on demand, does it provide meaningful leverage, or does it risk diluting what gives creative work its value? There’s a tension between efficiency a

Episode 78: The Luxury of Losing Everything
Oh ShitSusie Batiz went from surviving abuse, depression, and bankruptcy to building Poo-Pourri into a cultural icon and a massive business built on a deceptively simple idea: make the bathroom smell better.

Episode 77: A Coaching Call
We’re pulling back the curtain and letting you hear a real coaching call with a client who’s doing the brave part: building something new while the old voice in his head keeps asking, “Who do you think you are?” That tension is the heartbeat of creative work.

Episode 76: On Divorce
A relationship doesn’t usually explode. More often, it drifts. One missed conversation turns into a habit, the habit turns into distance, and suddenly two people who once felt like a team are living like roommates.

Ever notice how the first targets in a crackdown are painters, poets, designers, and musicians?
