In today's Espresso Episode I share a poem and my story about my path to discovering and celebrating the fact that I am a multipotentialite (also referred to as renaissance person, scanner, multi creative or multipassionate). There is no such thing as 'too many interests and hobbies' - if anything, it is your superpower...

E4: Is there a way to have it all? | Espresso Episode

My guest this week is Iasonas Bakas.  Iasonas is a full time structural engineer, part time PhD candidate and a creative at heart. He dedicates the majority of his spare time to drafting portraits in graphite and exploring the influence of graphic design on traditional drawing. He is fascinated by the individuality of each one of us and as such he tries to capture not necessarily the fine detail in his work but mainly the gesture, expression and emotion. He is just stepping into the use of oil paint, while he is also planning to start exhibiting again as art spaces become available after COVID. I loved talking with Iasonas about how his technical career as a structural engineer benefits his art. In my experience, we do not often hear stories exemplifying how we can be both corporate and creative (usually the end goal is making enough money from your art to leave the corporate world behind!). But, like me, Iasonas actively enjoys integrating both into his life. I am happy to share this conversation in the hope it inspires even just one of you to take up your space as a creative despite having a technical background... there's no rulebook for creativity and, as Iasonas shows in this episode, your multi faceted nature is what makes you and your creativity oh so beautifully unique.  In this episode we discuss: - How Iasonas's career as a structural engineer, and pursuits as a PhD student, inform his art. - How he, as a self taught artist, structures and executes creative projects like learning to draw. - How to avoid overwhelm when juggling a career and creative pursuits on the side. - The importance of focusing on progress over perfectionism, and how to value progress first. - The harsh truths about the difficulties of selling art online and how he intends to set himself up for creative business success.

E2: 5 simple tools to overcome fear and boost creativity | Espresso Episode

My guest this week is Alex Kate. Alex is a British singer-songwriter and producer who has been writing songs since she can remember but until recently kept them to herself. She was classically trained and had even featured in professional operas and orchestras, but it took the global pandemic to wake her up and realise that she wanted to share the songs she had been writing over the last decade with the world.  Alex previously worked in the music industry in various guises as the 'person behind the person', and in this conversation reveals why and how she claimed her own space as a creative. This is a warm, generous and insightful conversation that I am sure you will leave feeling inspired. This week's topics include: - listening to your inner voice  - claiming your creativity and sharing it with the world- the importance of vocalising who you are - moving from living vicariously through your dreams to taking action- getting over perfectionism, starting, and learning as you go - finding unjudging and supportive community and so much more!SAY HI TO ALEX: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexkatemusic/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/6PUla9e4QeuKItSyAEmI2l?si=8a336838798c43d4&amp;nd=1  Website: https://www.alexkatemusic.com/music Book referenced in this episode: The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron  JOIN OUR COMMUNITY:  - Sign up for The Brew: www.thecreativescoffeeclub.com/thebrew- Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecreativescoffeeclub/- Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/itscharlieindia- Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJIlQ8T836wBB7LxUTT4b-gBuy us a coffee to sip on throughout the coming episodes: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tcccpodcastTo all of you that have contributed to this community so far, THANK YOU, truly, you are the caffeine to my coffee!Charlie x
