WELCOME MIKE RICHY TO THE POD
In my conversation with Mike, we talk about story telling, authenticity, and the creative journey. But more than just another conversation about any of those things, we dive deep into his personal stories (and mine too) of growth and creative challenges.
My favorite topic today was covering the cost of not making an impact as a creator.
As well as:
- What “story” means to Mike
- The role of authenticity and courage in creative work
- Mike’s creative inspirations, from Steve Jobs to Tyler the Creator
- The challenges and rewards of building a creative business
- The mission behind Viddy Studio and how it helps creators deliver their best on camera
- Overcoming plateaus, burnout, and the fear of putting yourself out there
- The importance of showing up, resilience, and long term vision for creators
