Filter Out The Noise
4w ago00:20:20Tap to summarizeIn this episode of The Living Artist podcast, Preston talks about filtering out some of the advice and stories from influencers, celebrities and content creators, to help us get back to basics and get real with our own strategies. Sometimes what one of these creators is telling us to do might not fit our own lifestyle, career path, or developmental stage. Truth be told, it most likely won't even fit what was authentic for the creator themselves when they were starting out, or in a different stage of life. Listen in to this episode and learn to "Filter Out The Noise". Enjoy!For more information on Preston M.

Garbage In Garbage Out
Apr 2100:13:46Tap to summarizeIn this episode of The Living Artist podcast, Preston builds an entire episode from the expression "Garbage In, Garbage Out". This turns out to be a very important concept for us artists (and anyone for that matter). Have you heard the expression "you are what you eat"? Well garbage in, garbage out turns out to be just as important, or even more so for our art and mindset. Preston gives many examples of this in our lives, mentality and art quality. We hope that you will be inspired to cut out some "garbage" in your own world to improve everything in your life and art. Can we get a scream? Enjoy!For more information on Preston M.
