In this episode, hosts Ben McKelvey and Jake Robbins engage in a candid discussion about the life and mindset of a creative. They examine their personal creative processes, discussing how ideas are generated and transformed into songs, noting that much of their creativity is sparked in unexpected moments such as driving or walking. They also touch on the pressures and challenges tied to writing music, which range from time management to the ever-present desire for perfection. They further talk about the importance of maintaining their creative side while also handling the practical aspects of their career such as marketing and merchandising. Lastly, they talk about how they've learned to cope with challenges, how to communicate with non-creative people about their way of life, and the importance of having like-minded people in their lives to maintain balance and perspective.
