B&EP #055 - Being an Artistic Pioneer

The B&E Podcast #055 "Being An Artistic Pioneer" Soundcloud Link: soundcloud.com/thebandepodcast SUMMARY OF THE PODCAST: We go through a bunch of lessons we've learned from the beginning of our podcasts to now -- not intentionally mind you. We touch on the craft of screenwriting, looking at our fears, challenging our perceptions and connecting with our work and others with truth and authenticity. It takes the spirit of a pioneer to be an artist. POINT #1: "FEAR IS A MOTIVATOR WITH A CEILING" -Fear can certainly motivate us to get things done, but it does have its limits. When you begin to realize that the things you fear aren't all that scary, you have to find a deeper connection to what you do which can be challenging but is ultimately freeing and more fulfilling. POINT #2: "DEPROGRAMMING WHAT WE THOUGHT WE KNEW" -We have a lot of beliefs we don't realize we carry with us that we may (probably) have learned in childhood that are destructive and sabotaging to creating. Challenge your beliefs, question them and welcome others opinions. POINT #3: "ARTISTS REMIND US OF WHAT'S IMPORTANT" -Artists are communicators of things that are bigger than any single one of us -- that's why we do this. We explore the deeper meanings of our lives and existence to remind us of our humanity.
