562 - Show the Real You, Why the Death of Insta isn't All Bad, Do Your Thing by Being Part of Something Bigger & ADHD

Do you feel like your work is very you-ish? How do you make creative work that really feels authentic? What does that even mean!? Today’s episode is a deep dive conversation and we cover a lot of topics around making authentic work. We talk about:  How to strip away the ego and throw off trying to be cool. Why instagram being kind of over for artists might be a good thing. Why doing your thing often starts with being part of something bigger than yourself. Why art and collaboration is a fight and why that’s a good thing And we touch a bit on ai and why it doesn't matter what it can and cannot do! Some other ai thoughts I haven’t heard anywhere else! This is a different type of episode, this time I am being interviewed, on the captain offscript podcast, and I had so much fun that I had to share it with all of you here! Hope you love it.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
