    The Type A Creative

    What is the Type A Creative? I’m so glad you asked!

    The Type A Creative is a podcast for driven creatives.

    For a long time, when I thought of the word “artist” I usually thought of a painter — someone floaty and magical, absorbed in their own world of art.

    But, I’m not like that. Yes, I’m a writer and designer. But I’ve got a business brain and some monster-sized ambition to match. For years I’ve been running a business and building a career around my creative skills. But now, I’m also working to cultivate a creative practice that’s not necessarily for sale, for a client, or to fulfill some ambition. I’m out to have some “creativity for keeps.”

    As driven people, we often have a hard time believing this kind of creativity is “worth it.” We sneakily talk ourselves into thinking it has to turn into a business, otherwise, it’s indulgent, or simply not worth our time.

    I’m looking for a bit of inner peace between my driven entrepreneur and my inner artist. My question for myself, and hopefully all of you is, “How do we balance a life where we want BOTH? Both creativity and art, but also big career goals?”

    In this podcast, I talk to people who are starting new creative projects, have thriving creative projects, and have conversations with a rotating cast of my smart friends — from fellow bosses to creative directors and working writers, filmmakers, and artist.

    Together we have conversations about what it is to be both Type A and creative.

    S2 Ep 16: Heidi Fiedler - Mapping Your Book

    About Elyse + Ashley:

    About 6 years ago, Elyse commented on Ashley's cute shoes in the hall at church, and we've been friends ever since. Since that day, we've seen each other through motherhood and hard times, and even a rough patch of disagreement on whether Ryan Gosling is hotter than Ryan Reynolds. Though we have our differences, we have something important in common: both of us have big dreams. The idea for Bravery Magazine began as a tiny seed planted at a kitchen table back in 2015. After having similar experiences with our oldest girls, we came together to talk about the lack of strong role models available to help us teach our girls bravery. After running through a few different ideas, Ashley texted Elyse one day and said, "What if we make this idea into a magazine?". True to form, Ashley's idea was golden and we ran with it. We ran a Kickstarter campaign in September of 2017 and were fully funded in under three days, proving that our idea is valuable and desperately needed. We are very passionate about the mission behind Bravery : that empowering children through stories of other brave women will help them become their own kind of brave.
