Este episodio es la continuación directa del episodio de la semana pasada. Hablamos sobre el "tik-tok speak" y el surgimiento de términos nuevos para describir cosas que ya existían, la búsqueda de la autenticidad, la presión de conformarse, y discutimos si hoy hay "culturas" distintivas de la forma en que existía antes.

En este episodio hablamos un poco sobre este sentimiento implícito de que todos estamos cansados. Vemos memes, reels y hasta estadísticas que comprueban que estamos viviendo a un ritmo poco natural que nos tiene exhaustos. Hablamos sobre como lo vemos en nuestras vidas entre otras cosas como el housing crisis, work-life balance, el hábito de fumar y la etiqueta de share content con personas que recién conoces.

In this episode, we discuss how taboos & stigmas impact creativity. In many ways, it is the pushback against these that can ignite a creative drive, but in other ways, they hinder the widespread sharing or appreciation of some creative pieces due to their stronghold in particular societies.

This week we kickoff one of our new episode formats called 'In Focus', in which we'll do a deep dive of a specific creation - from a show to a music album, to a song or an event. We inaugurated it taking a closer look at the 1968 Mexico Olympics branding and discuss why it is so iconic and why it brought to light important ethical questions around who has the right to represent a country, and who 'owns' an artis...

Estamos de regreso (por enésima vez! 😅). Como algunos sabrán, decidimos comenzar un nuevo proyecto llamado MachtiaCo, orientado a la creatividad y la formación de nuestros creatives selves/colectivo. Pero nos hacía falta un espacio donde pudiéramos solo expresarnos y documentar ese never-ending process.

En nuestro "B-roll" compartiremos las vivencias, lecciones e inspiraciones que luego se ven reflejados en ese proyecto....

En este episodio regresamos al español para discutir el lado “oscuro” de crear cosas nuevas, particularmente tecnologías nuevas. ¿Quién es responsable cuando lo creado toma vida propia y se vuelve dañino? ¿Cómo nos protegemos como creadores y consumidores de no perpetuar lo malo? Estas son algunas de las preguntas que discutimos en este episodio.

In this episode we discuss the increasing commodification of art and the impact that is having on both creatives and consumers. We try to delve deeper into why this might rub us the wrong way, buy also why it might have a positive side for those who want to make their work known!

When was the last time you engaged in an activity for the pure pleasure and enjoyment of it? No outcomes, no KPIs, no efficiency – just joy. It can often be hard to carve out time for play in the busyness of daily life, but for creatives, play is an essential source of inspiration and refreshment to keep creating without burning out. In this episode we discuss what play looks like for us and how we try to integrate it into our life...

In this episode we discover that Julianna may or may not have the Dunning Kruger effect (jk!) We learn more about this cognitive bias that, taking the abundance of memes that point to it as evidence, might be more common in our workplaces (and lives) than we realize. We chat about some of the ways it manifests, the effects it can have at work and in our relationships, and ways in which we can counteract its negative impact.
