• Ep 278: Sibling Rivalry co-founder Mikon van Gastel on running a creative agency in a revolution

  Today, change occurs almost constantly, at a speed never before seen in human history. We are in a technological revolution that some are likening to the advent of agriculture. Incomprehensible news headlines bombard us, and underneath it, we must still find a way to make sense of it and create for a living. Los Angeles and New York-based creative company Sibling Rivalry is a shining example of adaptation and flexibility in this new economy. Co-founder Mikon van Gastel joins me to share the agency's story. As someone who went into business shortly before 9/11, has steered the company through the COVID-19 pandemic, and now, like the rest of us, attempts to understand and move harmoniously with artificial intelligence, Mikon explains what it takes to keep growing and creating with joy in this crazed economy.

• The Creativity Diary Entry 23: Impermanence as a tool for a better perspective

  As I continue to work on the downside of my high sensitivity to counter anxiety and overthinking, I turn to the Buddhist teachings and Marcus Aurelius' Meditations about impermanence after a sobering visit to my hometown. And of course, apply them to our current moment in the creative industry.

• Ep 277: Anthony Burrill, artist and designer shares his story of crafting his own creative career

  Few artists or designers transcend the industry when it comes to name recognition, but Anthony Burrill is one of them. His iconic typographic artworks, including 'work hard and be nice to people,' adorn the walls of many far beyond the creative industry, hitting the sweet spot between mass appeal and personal intimacy. I travel to Rye and visit Anthony's studio, which overlooks a stunning wildflower meadow created with his lovely wife and garden designer, Emma, where he takes me on a journey through his career. From working-class roots to his standing as an inspiration to many in the arts, via study in Manchester, London, and commercial art and design, it's a beauty.

• Ep 276: This Uncertain Moment with Claudine O'Sullivan, artist and illustrator

  Is what you were enough anymore? Do we run for the hills as the machines come for our jobs, or drill even deeper into who we are, what we stand for, and where we were going? I'm joined by artist and illustrator Claudine O'Sullivan to share her story of adapting to life as a new mother, artificial intelligence, and economic unrest. We discuss the fear, the opportunities, and how the hell we begin to choose our direction in fast-changing times, no matter whether you're an illustrator, graphic designer, animator, creative director, or anything across the arts.
