Amie has made a list of artist archetypes to help you all figure out your strengths and weaknesses as artists. We go through the archetypes and discuss each one. Kind of like enneagram/Myers Briggs/astrology specifically for artists! You can read more about it on Amie's substack [https://substack.com/@amiemcnee]! Still two days to sign up to the Inspired Collective [https://www.amiemcnee.com/the-inspired-collective-creative-community]!

Welcome back! We're talking about: small steps and achievable goals; fostering scrappiness; behaving like an athlete; and much more! Topic discussion begins at 4:42 The Inspired Collective [https://www.amiemcnee.com/the-inspired-collective-creative-community] We Need Your Art Book [https://www.amiemcnee.com/pre-order-we-need-your-art-book-amie-mcnee] James' substack [https://substack.com/@jameswinestock] Amie's substack [https://substack.com/@amiemcnee]

We interrupt Creativity 101 for a special episode! Help us prepare for Amie's guest appearance on a big podcast. Also, I'm writing this from the future AFTER the podcast recording happened. It went really well thank you for asking. I sat in on the whole thing and Amie killed it. For some reason, she speaks much better when she's talking to someone who isn't her husband (swirly eye emoji). Hey! You can pre-order Amie's book now!

We're coming back to a topic we talk about a lot on the podcast, Perfectionism. This time, though, we're going back to basics. What is perfectionism? What are the most common ways it shows up our lives? Why is bad? And what can we do about it? Amie was right, no cover reveal yet... But you should come to our live course: Selling Without Selling Out [https://www.amiemcnee.com/sell-without-selling-out]

Most artists will procrastinate. That's just a fact. It's something people have dealt with in the past and will continue to deal with in the future. Where it becomes a problem, though, is when it holds you back from being the sort of person you want to be. We look at some common tools and techniques to help you cut through procrastination and make art with more ease and regularity. Also discussed towards the end: procrastination for Neurodivergent creatives!
