Getting Work To Work ·

2024/10/28

Here to celebrate his 20th appearance on Getting Work To Work and his latest film, Local Heroes, is the self-described king of the jungle, gough. As a writer, producer, director, and actor for BeernutsProductions.com, gough always finds a way to not only make me laugh, but also inspire me to create meaningful work.

Be Where Discovery Can Happen (GWTW793)

Getting Work To Work ·

2024/10/21

As long as I can remember, I've been intrigued with exploration. Growing up in the middle of nowhere, exploring the woods around the house was just the beginning. The starry nights captured my imagination, the road atlas showed how to get around the surrounding areas, and the globe revealed everything else. But exploration comes in multiple flavors because I should also mention the digital discoveries made in the 1990s through the personal computing, World Wide Web, and smart phone revolutions. As I

Healing Your Broken Creativity (GWTW792)

2024/10/12

What do you do when your creativity is broken? On top of that, what do you do when you rely upon your creativity to make a living? Earlier this year, my creativity not only cracked, but shattered into a million pieces. I paused all my side projects, calling it creative hibernation. I kept producing work for my recurring clients to the best of my ability, but also got a job to help pay bills. As I talked with people about what I was going through, the messages I received went something like this: "Me

What are the big questions that drive your mission and life's work? Are you someone who focuses on finding solutions to the massive problems in the world or someone who wants to be the very best at your craft? In today's episode of Getting Work To Work, I explore not only the big, philosophical questions that drive social entrepreneurship, but also the everyday stories and steps we can take to make a difference.

Microcosmic Lessons (GWTW790)

2024/08/23

It's been a month since the last episode of Getting Work To Work. Every time I sat down to write, nothing came, so I said, "Maybe next week?" Eventually, I gave myself some grace and trusted that when something needed to be said, it would show up. And it finally did, yesterday, on a forklift, in the early morning hours. After finishing my work, I scribbled down some notes, mainly tiny lessons I have learned about myself and others over the past few weeks. I'm going to share these with you, with the

“How About Now?” with gough (GWTW789)

Getting Work To Work ·

2024/07/24

Today's guest needs no introduction because he's been on the show 19 times now, but I'm going to do one anyway. A legally blind filmmaker from Australia, gough is on Getting Work To Work to talk about his latest film, The Harsh Reality of Re-enactment Acting. We discuss his inspiration for the film, how he used editing techniques to land some jokes, and insights into the actors and the Beernuts Productions family. We also talk about the most recent episode of his podcast where he answers questions

I believe that conversations find us when we need them most. Tony Luna is a creative consultant, educator, author, and producer who helps emerging and mid-career creatives to discover and reinvigorate the work that ignites the flame of their soul. In our conversation, we touch on Tony's lifelong study and pursuit of creativity. He shares numerous stories that touch on the beauty of failure, the importance of cross-discipline collaboration, why mistakes are necessary, and how we can keep our

Quick Hits of Inspiration (GWTW787)

2024/07/05

What do you do for fun? How does that connect to your own curiosity and search for inspiration? Recently, a coworker asked me what I do for fun and I didn't like any of my answers. I think I cracked a joke about working all the time, but also said I enjoyed watching movies, listening to music, and watching the Cleveland Guardians. Pretty lame, I know, but it's also a critical indicator of just how empty my tanks are when it comes to creativity and curiosity. So, in preparation for this episode, I

“All Things Rejection” with Alice Draper (GWTW786)

Getting Work To Work ·

2024/06/30

The question in the email was simple: "Are you interested in a podcast discussion on using rejection as a tool for success?" What a way to capture someone's attention. Without a doubt, rejection is one of the biggest issues we face as creative entrepreneurs, and I was excited to talk with today's guest about it and find ways to get better at accepting rejection in all its forms. Alice Draper is the founder of Hustling Writers, a "publicity business...on a mission to make publicity easy and

Striving for Something New (GWTW785)

2024/06/19

What are you striving for in your life right now? Fortune and fame? Recognition from your peers, larger budgets, and dream clients? A story that you can turn into a 7-figure business? Peace, quiet, and a purposeful existence? The list of things we can strive for is endless. And yet, our energy and existence is not. We try to turn the dreams of our youth into the reality of our adulthood, hoping that nothing will change. But the older we get, the truth is that everything is constantly changing. Old

Insert Amazing Monologue Here (GWTW784)

Getting Work To Work ·

2024/06/15

If I were to type a prompt into AI to generate today's episode for me, it would probably be this: "Insert amazing monologue here." It's generically specific. Yes, I want a monologue, but make it amazing. I'll spend hours whittling down the responses, going back and forth with a computer. Until I find something passable, meets my deadline, and keeps me moving forward until real inspiration shows up. How often do we approach our creative journey with the same level of expectation and response. We pick

Off On Tangents (GWTW783)

Getting Work To Work ·

2024/06/05

One of the things I often hear while interviewing people is, "Oh, I'm sorry, I went off on a tangent." My common response is, "That's okay, tangents are interesting." Not only are tangents interesting, they are instructive and important. They teach us about how we learn, our curiosities, what motivates us to keep moving forward, and the very things that matter most to us. In this episode of Getting Work To Work, I'm going to explore a few tangents in my own life from the first car I ever bought, to

“Let There Be Art…and Rock!” with Luke Preece (GWTW782)

2024/05/30

When I first saw Luke Preece's work on Instagram for Metallica's 30th anniversary of …And Justice For All, my mind was blown. Since then, I've followed his work seeing him continually produce stunning art for bands, video games, and movie studios. His bio says it best: "Luke Preece is a UK-based award winning Illustrator and Art Director. His work combines the visceral power of Heavy Metal iconography and the intricacy of 70s/80s science fiction, presented with a clear, compositionally-led design

Don’t Fear Emptiness (GWTW781)

Getting Work To Work ·

2024/05/22

Ever since I started my creative journey, I feared being empty. Empty of ideas, thoughts, stories, projects, connections, business, ambition. What would become of me if no one wanted to work with me? Who would I be if I ran out of creative ideas? I associated emptiness with negative feelings: imposter syndrome, comparison, lack of self-worth, and low self-esteem. I didn't want to invite those feelings into my life, so I built processes, systems, goals, fail-safe methods, and a good old-fashioned

“Films of Life & Legacy” with Eriksen Dickens (GWTW780)

If you were to produce a film about your life, what would it say about the choices you made, the people you surrounded yourself with, and the impact you had on the world? Eriksen Dickens is today's guest on the show, sharing his passion for storytelling and filmmaking in the form of legacy documentaries. Our conversation begins with his endless curiosity about big existential questions and how his schooling in philosophy and psychology translates to filmmaking. He talks about turning a childhood

Code Words & Canaries (GWTW779)

2024/05/09

Some monologues I have a pretty solid idea from start to finish, but others need time and reflection to make sure I'm not just ranting and railing against some invisible force. Today's episode started with a few early morning rants that I captured in my notes app. As I went through the day, I realized I wanted to shape it into something else, but didn't know what. So, I just wrote. I fought the urge to apologize for expressing my feelings, ate dinner, then deleted the apology. I'm not sorry, so why

What's the point of preserving old homes? Why do old homes matter? Two driving questions for today's interview with Lee McColgan, woodworker, restorer of old homes, and author of A House Restored: The Tragedies and Triumphs of Saving a New England Colonial. Lee shares his philosophy, how he thinks about old things, and many stories about his journey from finance to woodworking and home restoration.

Prepared to Be Unprepared (GWTW777)

The simplest quotes are often the deepest and inspire endless reflection. In my conversation last week with Gregg Brown—entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and author—he dropped a short sentence that stopped me in my tracks: "We have to be prepared to be unprepared." My mind filled up with questions. How does one prepare to be unprepared? Why can't we prepare for all possibilities before they happen? How does preparing for how we will respond to the unknown becoming known impact all areas of our lives

Rules & Tools for Fools (GWTW775)

What rules do you follow because you believe they will lead to success? What tools do you use to ensure you can be as relevant as possible? What if these rules and tools have the opposite effect on your life, and you can't see it because you're too close? What if social media is actually turning you into a new person you don't want to be, doing what you don't want to do? What if all your daily actions to stand out and get noticed shape you into a societal clone? How many more questions can I fit
