Brock brings you into the room and gives you what you want to hear in these interviews— a great listen! Changed the way I thought about writing as a business and profession, truly an art and excellent insight into where it all begins: the writing.
I love Creative Principles for hearing big stars go deep into their creative process, and the behind the scenes insights these conversations bring. It’s always fascinating, even when you haven’t heard of the guest. Love it.
Brock’s calm, gentle, focused style brings out the best in others. It allows his interviewees and students to remain calm, focused, and share the best bits of their creative process. The podcast is creatively inspiring. I have just a couple of favorite creative podcasts I listen to and I like to save them up for when I work on my art (I can’t listen while writing :D ). It’s like hanging with friends and juicing the creative flow at the same time.
