277. Episode 277 - Solving problems without thinking.
21:52||Season 9, Ep. 277This week I sit down to talk cognition and problem solving. It seems more often than not when I talk to people about problems the main blocker is they are thinking about it. Over thinking it. Needing to map an idea out and really detail through something. Which is one way of doing it. The other is to go the other approach. Stop thinking. Do something else. Watch something. Entertain yourself. Put your body through some stress. My theory is as a human we've have fight or flight and during moments when we are problem fixated you can use that fight or flight to cut through to what you truly want. So this week I cosy in and sit and think about the notion of just not thinking.The show is available on:Ituneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yelling-at-concrete/id1238765054Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3T2OhYE07edgaBDXrm86saAcasthttps://shows.acast.com/yellingatconcreteSupport us onhttps://www.patreon.com/yellingatconcreteIf you'd like to support at all there is a patreon and I have the goal of finding 38 members by the end of the year to make the show fully funded in terms of the running costs!

Episode 275 - Single Discipline Vs Multi Discipline
23:14||Season 9, Ep. 275This week we talk the draw backs, the struggles the problems with having multiple interests. Being multi interested can be a problem for a creative soul. It means you'll always be stretched thin, always struggle to target an audience and over all always have unfinished ambitions but at the same time...Damn it's fun.After recent conversations with guests @ItsKavi and @AllOneVoice It seems like I'm not alone in my pursuit of being a little bit of everything all at once. So this week I sit down to talk about how to manage that expectation and perhaps give a little insight for budding creatives.The show is available on:Ituneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yelling-at-concrete/id1238765054Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3T2OhYE07edgaBDXrm86saAcasthttps://shows.acast.com/yellingatconcreteSupport us onhttps://www.patreon.com/yellingatconcreteIf you'd like to support at all there is a patreon and I have the goal of finding 38 members by the end of the year to make the show fully funded in terms of the running costs!

Episode 274 - Don't worry the game is rigged Feat @DavidMcWane (Big D and The Kids Table)
01:16:15||Season 9, Ep. 274Continuing the chain letter of suggested guests! This week I got time to sit down with Ska Punk extraordinaire @DavidMcWane Former drummer now Singer of Big D and The Kids Table. A band who I actually found out about maybe 20+ years ago when I was coming up through the alternative music scene. Dave sat down with me to talk multiple topics the main of which is the American fascination with idols and royals and the impact that can have on artists starting out. It's a sobering lesson for anyone trying to create to know there is a blocker ahead but by recognizing it we can challenge it and keep creating!You should definitely check out Daves music @bigdandthekidstable Especially as they are on tour and live music is life blood! But also sit down and consider if you've been stunted by the rigged game.The show is available on:Ituneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yelling-at-concrete/id1238765054Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3T2OhYE07edgaBDXrm86saAcasthttps://shows.acast.com/yellingatconcreteSupport us onhttps://www.patreon.com/yellingatconcreteIf you'd like to support at all there is a patreon and I have the goal of finding 38 members by the end of the year to make the show fully funded in terms of the running costs!

29:32||Season 9, Ep. 273More of a conceptual walk through that a narrative one. After seeing a mountain of Essays and reviews of The Simpsons I decided the only real apporach I could take is to ask. Is it art or is it just content and filler?So join us as I think about what art means and if oddly enough The Simpsons could be considered bad content but good art?The show is available on:Ituneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yelling-at-concrete/id1238765054Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3T2OhYE07edgaBDXrm86saAcasthttps://shows.acast.com/yellingatconcreteSupport us onhttps://www.patreon.com/yellingatconcreteIf you'd like to support at all there is a patreon and I have the goal of finding 38 members by the end of the year to make the show fully funded in terms of the running costs!

Episode 272 - When one method inspires another feat Bruce @AllOneVoice
01:02:39||Season 9, Ep. 272This week i sit down with a word smith in the form of @AllOneVoice Bruce. Bruce is a writer, rapper, poet and journalist who i know of having seen him perform along side one of my other guests! I sort of knew Bruce would be a great conversation to have as his work often delves into topic i consider in my own creative process as well as just being a very well rounded creator who is simply looking at the core to express and enjoy that journey.This week we sit down to talk method, to talk creation and figure out inspirations impact on how you come to be as an artist. A lot of art especially in the modern era is seen as imitational but art inspiration can come from any method or moment not just ones in the same vien as your own. So sit down, grab a drink and consider these points. Also check out Bruce's work. He's just released an EP Four Maras and I think you'll enjoy his workhttps://allonevoice.bandcamp.com/album/four-marashttps://soundcloud.com/allonevoicehttps://www.instagram.com/allonevoice/The show is available on:Ituneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yelling-at-concrete/id1238765054Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3T2OhYE07edgaBDXrm86saAcasthttps://shows.acast.com/yellingatconcreteSupport us onhttps://www.patreon.com/yellingatconcreteIf you'd like to support at all there is a patreon and I have the goal of finding 38 members by the end of the year to make the show fully funded in terms of the running costs!

Episode 271 - How to get "better" resolutions
23:08||Season 9, Ep. 271As we enter the new year it's important to take stock and listen to your mind and your body and the random man on the internet as he has a slight breakdown of recent conversations he's had about why we create art. How we improve on ourselves and how that comes through in the work we make. Resolutions can be a flag, a badge of honour or just a bench mark but they dont need to be ruiners of your self esteem and progress. So we discuss how better is a false term and too vague or a line to request feedback or even consider yourself. I'd love to hear the challenges you're setting yourself though and goals for the future so it you're so inclined let me know below.
