  • Supportive, helpful and inspiring.

    I have been at a point of change in my art career and Ben’s words have been a blessing. It feels like a sympathetic chat with an artist friend. Ben’s shorter podcasting feel like he is voicing what I have been thinking about! Great, thoughtful and brave!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 303: Story Strategist Kendra Valentine on How To Tell Your Best Story
Q: How quickly do transformations happen when people adopt your storytelling framework?
Transformations can be surprisingly fast; in one example, someone updated their approach after a short talk and immediately clarified how to explain their multi-role job, showing alignment between storytelling and practical job descriptions.
Ep 303: Story Strategist Kendra Valentine on How To Tell Your Best Story
Q: Would you be kind enough to tell us a little more about how you determine pitching?
Pitching is not about sales tactics; it's about communicating value. It encompasses any moment you convey what you do—from headlines to website copy to this talk—so the focus is on clarity and impact rather than traditional sales techniques.
Ep 291: Evolving a Creative Industry Career with Dirty Freud
Q: Do you think diversification is necessary, or can you specialize and still thrive?
Diversification can be beneficial, especially if you have a strong, human-driven story and core competencies; specialization can work if you have a unique angle and connections.
Ep 278: Sibling Rivalry co-founder Mikon van Gastel on running a creative agency in a revolution
Q: What advice would you give to someone starting in this climate today?
Mikon emphasizes the importance of finding a position where you can thrive and being surrounded by supportive people who understand your unique talents and stories.
Ep 278: Sibling Rivalry co-founder Mikon van Gastel on running a creative agency in a revolution
Q: How much of your creative adaptability is innate?
Mikon attributes his adaptability to a competitive spirit fostered by his relationship with his older brother, making him pursue diverse opportunities and projects.
