Resurrecting The Brand
So when I first started the “Nicks Not Creative” podcast I originally just thought of it as a way for me talk to my friends about the cool and exciting things they did for a living. Which it definitely was but at the time I didn’t see the bigger picture. That the show its self was an extension of what I did from 9-5 ever day or whenever I was able to pick up freelance contracts. It was just another form of content creation. The premise of the show was me talking to another creative to learn about their creative process, and to get just a slightly deeper look into how other people approach creativity.
Sadly as life got in the way with a move, starting a new job and picking up a lot more responsibilities the show took a bit of a back seat. That being said I didn’t stop creating, whether it was your everyday social media content or video edits for a freelance client. I continued to create new things for people to see. Until one day one of my friends asked me what my podcast was called to which I replied “Oh, its called Nick’s Not Creative”. The friend just stared at me and without batting an eye replied “You just finished designing and writing an original board game… and don’t you write escape room concepts for a living? What the hell do you mean you’re not creative?” Now clearly no one ever really thinks of themselves as a “Creative” even if the words “Content Creator” are written into your job description. It’s this weird self-deprecating mental block we have whether we think its there or not. Long story short that conversation kind of got the fire underneath me to bring back the show for two reasons
I miss talking to my far more creative friends.
I honestly love podcasting ( at one point I had three) and interviewing people
So all that being said Nicks Not creative will be returning fairly soon so keep an eye out because it’s going to be awesome!
