Time. Money. Space. These are limited resources given to and often wasted by creators. Artists are particularly defensive when it comes to cleaning up our act. We tend to be free-spirited and scatterbrained, and it might actually be affecting our work. Sometimes it’s this freedom that enslaves us to our worst selves. It’s just that we don’t notice. Let’s design a lifestyle that allows us to focus our energy into the things that matter. This podcast documents our journey into creative freedom.
