Why Creativity Is About To Radically Transform The World Jul 12, 2017

Show notes

Today I'm bringing you the audio version of a talk I gave at The Next Web conference in Amsterdam earlier this year on a topic that's top of mind for many of us, which is the rise of AI and automation and the implications it may have for our careers - whether you're a truck driver or a radiologist or a graphic designer, you've probably had a moment in the past year or two where you saw a news piece and asked yourself - "whoa - is a computer or a robot gonna put me out of a job?" If so, you're far from alone - but my hope is that by the end of this talk, you'll be as optimistic about the future as I am.

Enjoy!

Show notes

As you may have seen, I have a new YouTube show called The Daily Creative where I answer YOUR questions about the challenges you're facing on your journey to become an aspiring or professional creative - think of it as Loveline for creators. It's full of super tactical stuff that you'll be able to apply to your own life, and I absolutely love doing it. Many of you have asked for an audio version, and you know that I am always at your service - so here it is - a handful of some of the most popular questions from The Daily Creative.

Transform Your Consciousness w/ Jason Silva Jun 28, 2017

Show notes

If you're familiar with Jason then you know he's an incredibly unique human. And if you're not, then I'll do my best-- but you really just need to check out his work. He's a brilliant and insanely insightful creator whose work sits at the intersection of philosophy, personal development and film much like my own work. You may know him as the host of Nat Geo's "Brain Games," from his short film series "Shots Of Awe" or his latest show "Origins" which is in its debut season. It's really tough to put a label on his work, so instead of trying I'm simply going to echo his words - he calls them "espresso shots of philosophy" and while that's a bit of a mouthful it's also a very accurate characterization.

Today on the podcast,

* We talk about how Jason got his start on Al Gore's cable channel Current TV

* He explains why the "one man band" approach is the best way for him to work and how technology has made that possible for an entire generation of creators

* In the tail end of this episode we get into a bunch of heady, somewhat esoteric stuff that you will absolutely love if you're a fan of Jason's YouTube stuff - everything from transhumanism to psychedelics to metaphysics

Enjoy!

The Formula For Peak Performance w/ Steven Kotler Jun 21, 2017

Show notes

Steven is an entrepreneur and writer whose work has appeared in just about every publication you can think of-- New York Times, Forbes, Wired, TIME, you name it and was nominated for a Pultizer for his book "A Small Furry Prayer. I wanted to have Steven on here because he has a very unique focus in his latest book "Stealing Fire": understanding peak human performance -- not in an abstract sense, but the specific mechanisms that make people like world-class athletes, Navy SEALs, and entrepreneurs able to do the incredible things they do and more importantly, how that formula can be reverse-engineered and applied to YOUR life.

Today on the podcast,

* We get deep into one of Steven's signature themes which is "flow:" the optimal state of consciousness where we feel + perform our best

* Why mindfulness is a super important part of all this-- Steven says that many of us live in a constant state of mild fight or flight that overtaxes our nervous system

* The implications of all this specifically for creatives - what Steven learned from studying ravers, CEOs, SEALs is actually directly applicable to us

How What You Buy Can Change The World w/ Leila Janah Jun 14, 2017

Show notes

Leila Janah is a human dynamo and one of the most exciting voices in the world of social entrepreneurship. After starting her career in management consulting, she quit to pursue her passions full time and has founded TWO companies. The first is Samasource, a non-profit that lifts people out of poverty via hiring them to do data work - and their clients now include the likes of Walmart, eBay, Google. And more recently she started LXMI a luxury skincare brand that sources rare ingredients from poor countries and thereby helps lift women out of poverty. Oh - and in case she didn't have enough on her plate she's also the author of the forthcoming book Give Work, the thesis of which is that giving work is the most powerful solution for ending global poverty.

Today on the podcast,

* She tells the story of sending Reid Hoffman a message on LinkedIn (which he replied to)

* Why it's limiting and ultimately a non-solution to operate from the idea that handouts are the answer to poverty - why "giving work" is the real answer

* The power of surrounding yourself with the right people

Overcome Fear & Self-Doubt w/ W. Kamau Bell Jun 07, 2017

Show notes

W. Kamau Bell is a veteran standup comedian, the creator and star of the hit CNN show "United Shades Of America" which is kicking off its 2nd season, host of a couple podcasts, one of which has probably the best title of any podcast ever - "Denzel Washington Is The Greatest Actor Of All Time Period" - and author of a bestselling book among many other things he's been part of over the course of his career. The word prolific does not even begin to describe this man.

Today on the podcast,

* How he went from his humble beginnings doing open mics in coffee shops and bars to getting his first TV show

* He shares some super candid stuff about how despite appearing unflappable, on the inside - as he says - "it's all flaps."

* You've probably heard me talk about the idea of "create the work you want to be paid to create," and Kamau has an amazing story about how he applied that exact idea

Build A Life You Love w/ Chris Guillebeau May 31, 2017

Show notes

Chris Guillebeau is an author and entrepreneur - you may know him from his bestselling books like "The Art Of Noncomformity" and "The $100 Startup" or his popular essay "A Brief Guide To World Domination." He's also a prolific blogger and the brains behind the Worldwide Domination Summit. This interview is from a few years back, but I wanted to bring it back because Chris - along with Tim Ferriss and a few others - was among the first wave of people who pioneered the path that I've heard so many of you say that you want to be one.

Today on the podcast,

* We talk a lot about an idea that's really at the core of this show, which is that the answers to all of this are inside you.

* We also get into the post-success comedown. If you've ever had a big win you know what I'm talking about.

* Another big theme in this show is potential - how to understand your potential, what to do with that energy, and the power of living up to your potential.

The Unfiltered Truth About Entrepreneurship w/ Adam Braun May 24, 2017

Show notes

Adam Braun is an author and entrepreneur who you may know from his work with Pencils of Promise, an organization that creates schools and other projects that bring education to underserved populations living in rural poverty. He's also the author of the book "The Promise Of A Pencil" and more recently the founder of a super exciting education startup called MissionU whose model is 1 year of intense, skill-based education with NO upfront tuition - instead, you give them a percentage of your income once you land that sweet job.

Today on the podcast,

* Why he walked away from a career in management consulting to dedicate himself to his passion of giving the rural poor access to education via Pencils Of Promise

* We get into a topic I've been touching on a lot lately which is balance. As a new father and entrepreneur this is a big challenge for Adam and he speaks very candidly about the real tradeoffs he has to make between his company, his family and his health

* On that note, he also shares some of the habits and hacks he's developed such as his journaling routine and practice of putting his phone in airplane mode in another room before going to bed

James is the founder + driving force behind indie rock icons The Shins and partner in the new collage app Pasted. With over 20 years in the game, he's seen just about every facet of the music business – from tiny shows at dives bars to Billboard top 10 albums on major labels – and as you can imagine he's learned a thing or two along the way.

Today on the podcast,

* Longevity and stamina. How do you stay motivated and inspired after success and hardship, the industry, dealing with the "what's next" feeling and post-achievement comedown?

* The artist-as-entrepreneur paradigm. Whether they like it or not, all artists are also entrepreneurs. What does "entrepreneur" mean to James?

* Collaboration: How do you have co-creators? (eg. his Broken Bells collaboration with Danger Mouse). How do you develop the soft skills to the business? When do you compromise on creative differences and when do you decide to cut ties?
