Publishing Ruthlessly – The Magical Elixir for The Wounded Creative
While the majority of our episodes are focused on digital marketing strategies and tactics, today’s episode is slightly different, but connected deeply to those individuals who are literally the walking wounded creatives. There is a magical elixor and it is at your finger tips. You just have to tune out the ones who say you can’t and turn up the voice inside that says go for it!
In this video podcast, Michael Winn, Chief Digital Officer at RV Oppenheim Associates, discusses the phenomenon of “wounded creatives,” individuals whose creative passions have been stifled by negative feedback and societal expectations. He reflects on his own experiences as a young artist, recalling how external voices discouraged his creative pursuits. Wynn emphasizes the importance of “publishing ruthlessly,” encouraging creatives to produce and share their work without fear of failure. He highlights the shift towards the gig economy, where individuals seek fulfillment beyond traditional corporate structures. Drawing inspiration from artists like Ed Sheeran, who writes multiple songs daily, he urges creatives to embrace the internet as a canvas for self-expression. By overcoming the fear of judgment and producing content consistently, individuals can reconnect with their creativity and find meaningful expression in their work.
