Description

We’re featuring another great episode from Kate Volman, this time from her show Create for No Reason 🎨🎤📖!

Entrepreneur, comedian, keynote speaker, and all-around creative powerhouse Brian Carter joins Kate Volman for a conversation packed with humor, wisdom, and no-nonsense advice on getting out of your own way.

They dive into the messy, exciting, and sometimes frustrating creative process—how to stop waiting for the perfect moment, why bombing on stage (or in life) is part of the journey, and how AI might just be the worst (or best?) writing partner.

If you’ve got ideas swirling in your head but haven’t taken action, this one’s for you! 🚀🔥

Key Takeaways:

• Creativity requires persistence. The most successful creators aren’t necessarily the most talented—they’re the ones who keep going.
• Feedback is key. Whether it’s from an audience, AI, or a trusted collaborator, learning to take criticism is essential.
• AI in creativity is a tool, not a replacement. Brian uses AI to assist in joke writing, but human creativity and refinement remain irreplaceable.
• Success is self-defined. Metrics like money and recognition matter, but real success is about creating something you’re proud of.
• Boredom fuels ideas. Giving your mind space to wander can unlock new creative breakthroughs.
