- 0:38Speaker 2: taking the time out of your day. It can be
- 0:41Speaker 2: five minutes, it can be three minutes, it can be
- 0:42Speaker 2: an hour, it can be whatever, but just taking the
- 0:46Speaker 2: time to ask yourself the questions and then question the answers.
- 0:50Speaker 2: You know, one of the things that I've done as
- 0:52Speaker 2: of late is that a question will come to me
- 0:55Speaker 2: and I know what, I can't dive into the research
- 0:57Speaker 2: in this moment of now, So I will that question
- 1:00Speaker 2: down and I'll get back to it. Not only is
- 1:03Speaker 2: it a different mindset and interpretation of the moment that
- 1:07Speaker 2: which you are questioning, but the thing is is. It
- 1:10Speaker 2: gives you the chance to feel something in the moment
- 1:13Speaker 2: of now by way of stream thinking, and then come
- 1:16Speaker 2: back and hopefully be clear minded enough to understand why
- 1:21Speaker 2: that question even entered. You ask the questions, question the answers.
- 1:26Speaker 2: This is vocal dfrank Ooh, this is a big one. Today.
- 1:30Speaker 2: It hit me while I was questioning my process with
- 1:35Speaker 2: podcast success and the question was says, how are you
- 1:40Speaker 2: doing today? Ct that's my real name, and I said,
- 1:43Speaker 2: I don't know, Maybe you should be asking Arrow who
- 1:45Speaker 2: is my podcasting broadcasting name. And at that point in time,
- 1:50Speaker 2: I thought to myself, well, I don't know how Arrow
- 1:52Speaker 2: would think about this situation where we presently are in
- 1:55Speaker 2: the world, and when it comes to the weather, I
- 1:58Speaker 2: think sometimes Arrow creates to get people to like what
- 2:02Speaker 2: he doesn't like. Oh oh, hold on for a moment.
- 2:07Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and tackle that question. People who are
- 2:11Speaker 2: creative and there are a lot of creative people on
- 2:15Speaker 2: this planet because they always say that God's the one
- 2:18Speaker 2: that made us all creative. Okay, I get that, but
- 2:21Speaker 2: let's talk about that question. Do people of creativity and
- 2:26Speaker 2: I do say that creativity is an addiction, but do
- 2:30Speaker 2: people of creativity do so so that other people will
- 2:34Speaker 2: find reasons to like what the artist doesn't like about themselves.
- 2:42Speaker 2: Let that one digest a little bit, let us sink in,
- 2:45Speaker 2: because I want you to think about that when you're creating,
- 2:49Speaker 2: be it in the kitchen, be it at your job,
- 2:53Speaker 2: the man cave, in the garage, out in the yard.
- 2:57Speaker 2: When you are being creative, is it to earn the
- 3:01Speaker 2: respect of other people? Because inside your mind, body and soul,
- 3:06Speaker 2: which hardly anybody ever wants to talk about inside your
- 3:10Speaker 2: mind and soul, are you creating to get the acceptance
- 3:15Speaker 2: of an outsider because it helps you deal with the
- 3:18Speaker 2: things that you don't accept about yourself. That's a tough
- 3:24Speaker 2: subject because I do write all the time, I do
- 3:29Speaker 2: create all the time. If I could be in the
- 3:30Speaker 2: studio twenty four to seven, I would definitely be there
- 3:33Speaker 2: because I always say I am bleeding creativity. But let's
- 3:36Speaker 2: break it down. Why are people bleeding creativity? I mean
- 3:43Speaker 2: I can go to the beach. I can even go
- 3:46Speaker 2: to an amusement park and you've got the artists there
- 3:48Speaker 2: that are creating for people. You can go anywhere into
- 3:53Speaker 2: a business, be it a dick sporting good, or to
- 3:56Speaker 2: be a grocery store, to be a bank. There's all
- 4:00Speaker 2: please someone on staff that is a little bit more
- 4:04Speaker 2: creative than the other people. I think we should start
- 4:07Speaker 2: asking that question, are you creating so that other people
- 4:13Speaker 2: will like what you don't like about yourself? Can I
- 4:17Speaker 2: openly admit that that is true about me? Is the
- 4:21Speaker 2: reason why I host twenty different podcasts because I am
- 4:25Speaker 2: searching for a reason to like something about me. Oh God,
- 4:31Speaker 2: that's true transparency to be able to say, yeah, I
- 4:36Speaker 2: think so. But the thing about it is when you
- 4:38Speaker 2: sit down with songwriters, actors, those that write scripts for
- 4:42Speaker 2: televison shows or write scripts for a commercial, you know,
- 4:45Speaker 2: success is a beautiful thing because it feels absolutely phenomenal
- 4:49Speaker 2: when you reach it. But if you think that you
- 4:52Speaker 2: are doing it to please other people, I'm not going
- 4:55Speaker 2: to go that route. And here's the reason why I'm
- 4:57Speaker 2: not going to go that route, because the majority the
- 5:00Speaker 2: people that you surround yourself with don't know what to
- 5:02Speaker 2: say when you say, how do you like that? They're
- 5:05Speaker 2: going I think it was good? Or my wife is
- 5:08Speaker 2: so blunt she'll go, you know, I don't like it.
- 5:10Speaker 2: I mean, she'll tell me that. And the reason why
- 5:12Speaker 2: she'll say that is because she knows that I'll take
- 5:14Speaker 2: that challenge and I'll make it greater than what it
- 5:17Speaker 2: was one two days ago or even a week ago,
- 5:20Speaker 2: because she knows that if it sucks and I go
- 5:24Speaker 2: somewhere and somebody else tells me it sucks, I'm gonna
- 5:27Speaker 2: come back and say, why didn't you tell me it sucks? Well,
- 5:29Speaker 2: I kind of did, but in a nice way. So
- 5:32Speaker 2: I'm right in the middle of this white picket fence.
- 5:35Speaker 2: Do people create to get the acceptance of their artwork
- 5:42Speaker 2: because they don't like what they are doing? I know
- 5:46Speaker 2: an artist. It comes with darkness, It comes with questions,
- 5:51Speaker 2: It comes with chases and challenges, It comes with defeat,
- 5:54Speaker 2: It comes with maybe the occasional victory. But are you
- 6:00Speaker 2: creating because you want the acceptance of others because it
- 6:04Speaker 2: helps you deal with the unacceptance that you have of yourself?
- 6:11Speaker 2: Ask the questions, question the answers. I call it defragging.
- 6:16Speaker 2: My name is Errol
