Let"s Go Again: A Philosophical and Practical Guide for Indie Artists

Queens Bird Films

This podcast is a philosophical and practical guide for the Independent Class. We are 21st Century indie artists. We ask big questions like "what is the artist’s role in society?", and we strategize for small ones like "how do I grow an audience when my posts reach about 5 people a day?" We tackle those ideas and everything in between. We make art that builds a new world — one powered by the people. On a film set, when a director wants to do another take, you often hear them say, let’s go again. It

Art is magical. Art is whimsical. Art is mysterious. And yet, it would be great if we could get a business plan. How do progress your indie art career? How do you get paid? How do you grow as an artist? The answers to our most challenging questions are rarely one size fits all. More often, the answers arise from asking those questions through a dedicated practice. In today's episode, we'll discuss how to think about building a creative ecosystem that perpetuates growth (even when you're

If you haven't noticed, it's not 2003 anymore. Crazy, right? But that's good news for creatives who want cool indie careers that feel aligned, profitable, and high impact. How to make money as an artist has shifted away from the institutions bestowing fame and fortune onto us, and shifted toward the artist being in control. From the most successful artists in the world to currently unknown future stars, all kinds of indie artists are doing it. In this episode, I'm sharing two case

Raise your hand if you've ever asked your best friend in the middle of a sobbing existential crisis: "is it too late for me to change careers?" or "is it too late to catch a big break?" or "can I start over after 30?" For cultural, temporal, and psychological reasons (among others), we get super fixated on this concept of breaking out "in time". We want big success at the youngest age possible. We want to be super incredible at one narrow thing. We want to

If the very mention of SMART goals makes you want to scratch your eyes out, gather 'round friend. So often we choose creative goals based on what we think will make us happy, but the psychology of happiness explains the paradox of achieving a goal and still feeling bad. The Happiness Set Point Theory, the Hedonic Treadmill, and the unlikely role that pain plays in our overall life satisfaction are just some of the strategies we're going to use to revamp our creative goals. The practical

If you've ever called yourself a recovering perfectionist, then you know that overcoming perfectionism isn't easy. And maybe that's because perfectionism, in and of itself, isn't all bad. In fact, adaptive perfectionism (as written about by Katherine Morgan Schafler, psychologist and author of Perfectionist's Guide to Losing Control) can actually be used to gain momentum, reach your cutting edge, and live a gratifying life. In today's episode, we'll also break down the

Have you set your profile to private? Have you archived everything that feels a smidge embarrassing? Does the idea of sharing an ounce of honesty on the World Wide Web make you crumple in pre-shame? If you're an indie artist and you struggle with being seen online because you cringe so much at yourself, this one's for you. Using the Jungian concept of Shadow Work, we'll redefine embarrassment as a tool we can actually use (yes, use) in our creative process. ARCANA: Tarot Universal by

Resistance and creativity. Where there's one, there's the other. Add the pressure of productivity, unconsciously negative self talk, and the hard-to-articulate creative process, and you've got the makings for a perfect dead end. But good news: there's a way out of the cul-de-sac. In today's episode, we'll talk about how to uncover the unconscious mind that's driving our actions, the Akrasia Effect, and how using the 8 Artist Habits of Mind can offer a new perspective on

So many of us who make indie art want to know: How can I find an audience for my creative work? How can I make money with my art? How can I make my life as a creative sustainable? And in the past, the answer might have been: strike it big. Become a star in whatever industry you're in. But as the past few years have shown us, stars...they're just like us. And creative industries everywhere are becoming less profitable and sustainable for artists (even stars!). The good news is, there are

You want to post about your work. You want to grow a following. You want to make an impact. But everything you say and do online sounds so cliche. Never fear, comedy is here. Using Nora Ephron's philosophy on writing and the Three Theories of Humor, we'll brainstorm a whole lotta ways to avoid being cliche in everything from posting on social, to grant writing, to investment pitches by using...

Feeling pressure to succeed is morally neutral. It's not bad or good to want success in your art. But sometimes putting too much pressure on yourself can diminish your ability to do your work. The pressure becomes a block. So today we'll use the Live the Question theory from Rilke, as well as the idea of unconscious-conscious communication from Penney Pierce, to explore releasing the pressure we feel and unleashing our own potential. ------------------------------- For you, Dear Listener: If

There are some days (years) where it can feel so hard to find your purpose in life. You feel adrift. And checked out. Everyone around you is making progress, and you are standing still. Luckily, Hunter S. Thompson wrote a letter in 1968 to directly answer the question "how do you find your purpose?" And today on the pod, we'll take three tenets of that letter to get closer to finding our purpose from his no-bs formula. ------------------------------- For you, Dear Listener: If you’re

Why do so many artists fail? It’s not because of their art. It’s because of their *mindset. If you’ve ever wondered how to become a successful artist, the first thing to do is to accept the artists’s journey. Accept that the path is winding, long, and somewhat confusing. But that’s not the same as impossible. In today’s episode, we’ll talk about being stuck — whether you feel stuck in your creative process or feel stuck in your career. We’ll use two philosophies — Carl Jung’s theory of the

If you have ever googled "I don't know what to do with my life" then you're in the right place. Sure, you have goals on goals on goals. But time & energy are in short supply. And the burnout-self doubt playlist is on repeat. And considering which step to take next is enough for you to make like Elsa and freeze. That's because you aren't taking the traditional path. You're taking something much more convoluted. (And more rewarding.) You're an indie creative. You
