Create in a Vacuum (GWTW733)

2023/11/01

Building upon last week's episode, where I talked about figures of speech that guide our work, whether we know it or not, I want to talk about a popular one in creativity: "You can't create great work in a vacuum." While I understand what the phrase is saying, and there are some excellent blog posts advocating for non-vacuum ideation, I think it lacks a key component of creativity: doing the actual work. I'm just getting back from attending an annual conference, and I'm struggling to get my groove

“Drop Into The Moment” with Mary Williams (GWTW732)

Getting Work To Work ·

2023/10/27

When you think about your business, how can you open your mind and drop into the moment to explore new possibilities? One way today's guest does that is through analogous thinking, for example, having difficult conversations while talking about movies and TV shows. Mary Williams is the founder of Sensible Woo and the School of Moxie podcast. She is a librarian, systems coach, and podcaster who loves to help people think differently. In this conversation, we talk about her love for talk shows,

Reexamine Your Potential (GWTW731)

Getting Work To Work ·

2023/10/25

I've been thinking about the stories, figures of speech, and memes that guide our days and keep us firmly entrenched in identities and labels. Whether I knew it or not, a guiding tale for much of my life was that I was a serial quitter. Whenever I did something new, I unknowingly set a timer for four months, and when it went off, I was usually onto the next thing already. Maybe you see yourself through a lens of accomplishments or failures. Or you define your life by figures of speech that people

2023/10/20

How can you think differently every day? How can you create environments of peace? How do you define peace? These are just a few deep questions that can jumpstart conversations courtesy of today's guest, Diana Cutaia, who sees the world through a lens of curiosity and change. Diana founded Coaching Peace in 2012 to create positive and safe cultures that empower its members to lead with empathy and understanding. In this conversation, we discuss curiosity's role in changing systems, connecting to

Dancing with Doubt (GWTW729)

Getting Work To Work ·

2023/10/18

'Tis the season for another monologue about doubt. When I searched the podcast archives for doubt, last November came up, and it was examining the positive nature of doubt. I'm not sure what it is about the end of the year. Maybe it's a change of seasons (a great song by Dream Theater) or the compound effects of exhaustion. But honestly, it's probably part of the creative process, especially when pushing into new mediums. I just don't feel it until the end of the year when life slows down. What if

How would your life be different if you gave yourself permission to be great? Today's guest not only asks that question but also explores the narratives, stories, and memes around us that impact our lives. K-Rahn Vallatine is an author, curriculum developer, and executive director of Live Above The Hype. In this conversation, we explore greatness and self-sabotage in the pursuit of our vision. We also talk about shattering narratives with forward movement, surrounding yourself with people who

Be the Creative Outcast (GWTW727)

2023/10/11

Over the weekend, I did something I usually don't or even set out to do: I helped a friend film a wedding. Since it was a behind-the-scenes, documentary-style project, I said yes because I love to be a casual observer and documenter of life. We captured all the usual events surrounding a wedding, but it was during the reception that today's monologue found its roots. The reception was on the Portland Spirit, a popular ship for sightseeing and events along the Willamette River. As I captured footage

“The Grumble, Gritty & Gracious” with Brandy Chalmers...

2023/10/06

When my wife and I got a pug last year, the algorithm inundated us with pug accounts, including Grumble Farm out of Canada. We loved seeing the pugs but also enjoyed learning more about the unbelievable beauty of British Columbia and getting to know Brandy and Jesse. Today's guest is Brandy Chalmers, one of the two humans behind Grumble Farm. She's here to talk about her journey as a content creator and how she shows up as her authentic self. In this conversation, we talk about her curiosity around

Of Style & Substance (GWTW725)

Getting Work To Work ·

2023/10/04

When I interview people who have written a book, the typical response to my closing question—"What book, podcast, or resource is currently blowing your mind?"—is a form of: "I'm not reading or listening to anything right now. I don't want to be influenced by someone else's work." I've always been intrigued by the notion that you could produce original work without external influence. Unless you live in the middle of nowhere without access to modern technology, the opportunity for influence is all

“Tango with a Bear” with Paul Crosby (GWTW724)

2023/09/29

It's been a few years since I've thought about teams, but today's guest opened the floodgates while simultaneously dismantling biases and explaining past negative experiences. Paul Crosby is one of the founders and the CEO of The Uncommon League, a training company that teaches people in unexpected ways to think, work, and learn differently. He's also an author who has written several books on topics ranging from business analysis to positive conflict. In this conversation, Paul shares his curiosity

Beyond What is Obvious (GWTW723)

Getting Work To Work ·

2023/09/27

There's something special about people who make decisions that go against the grain of societal expectations. Whether we make those decisions out of necessity, frustration, depression, or some other motivation is less important than the willingness to embark on a new journey. Today's episode is inspired by a quote from an excellent book by Patrick Bringley, All the Beauty in the World: The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Me. In the book, Bringley documents the loss of his brother to cancer, how he

The 3 AM Creative Brain (GWTW721)

Getting Work To Work ·

2023/09/20

I had plans for a different monologue today, but my 3 AM creative brain had an idea it couldn't drop. I woke up from a dream feeling ready to mourn the losses of the past three years. It's not easy to admit, but I've been not so secretly punishing myself for how I responded to the pandemic. It was ugly, fraught with fear, trying to make sense of the internal and manage the external. I took care of those around me, but I stumbled deeper into debt, wrestled with depression, ate food to numb the pain,

“Behold The Miniverse” with Steve Berry (GWTW720)

2023/09/15

Do you know your life's destiny? Are you actively doing the things you were born to do or wishing you could one day? Today's guest took his obsession with film and his need to diversify his services and fell into the rabbit hole of something unexpected. Steve Berry is the artist and photographer behind Robot Wig, what he calls "the Miniverse," a place for miniature pop culture creations. In this conversation, we obviously talk about movies and his journey to the Miniverse. But we also explore how he

Go! Get It! (GWTW719)

2023/09/13

I just got back from my first real vacation in six years. While there were plenty of late-night existential wrestling matches—"I don't know who I am on vacation anymore"—my mind was churring and whirring away underneath the surface. As I listened to the conversations around me, watched the truth emerge through body language, and paid attention to my feelings, I heard it clearly: "Go! Get it!" If you have a vision for your life and are afraid to take the first step of leaving the infinite labyrinth

2023/09/08

I love how spaces can influence our creativity. Pioneer Courthouse Square in Portland, Oregon, has impacted many people, especially past guests of Getting Work To Work. Jack Kent once saw a man and a llama walking through the square at night and would turn that moment into a book cover for Sketchy People. Bill Will, a conceptual sculptor and installation artist, created a public art installation during the pandemic to promote safe gatherings in a public space. Today, my guests are here to talk about

Evolution: Productivity (GWTW717)

2023/09/06

Monologue ideas seem to enter my mind in the early hours. I picked up my phone, looked at my email (I know, not the best habit), and saw an email from Fruitful Life by Ashwin Chacko, "Grace Over Grind." After reading the post, I started thinking about my backward relationship with productivity: I grind it out and reserve grace for others. But this week, I noticed something shifting inside. It wasn't that I didn't care about hitting deadlines and managing expectations, but I needed to let life enter

“Stockpiling Hope & Curiosity” with Jarret Keene...

2023/09/01

As a creative, what are you stockpiling? For today's guest, he is not only collecting historical tidbits and fodder but also curiosity, hope, and optimism. Jarret Keene is a professor and author of Hammer of the Dogs, a new novel about a dystopian future set in a post-apocalyptic Las Vegas. In this conversation, Jarret shares an unbelievable wealth of wisdom about creativity and why we should be tour guides of our curiosities. He talks about the bright darkness of 1980s pop culture in which he found

Relentless Mediocrity (GWTW715)

2023/08/30

Over the weekend, I was helping an awesome client work on her new podcast about our hometown, and I heard my new favorite phrase: "relentless mediocrity." At one point, my client interviewed me, and I shared why I gladly wear the badge of "Relentlessly Mediocre." It's not that I don't aspire to be great at what I do; it's just that I don't want to be great every single day in every moment of my life. It's not attainable, healthy, or human. But that is not the message you and I receive from society
