| 5/21/26 | Episode 83: The Process Is All We Have | You can work 12 hours a day and still feel like you did “nothing” except survive. That’s where we start: the grind language, the imaginary race, and the habit of powering through exhaustion like it’s a virtue. We talk candidly about burnout, creative stress, and why building a beautiful life takes a different mindset than simply forcing more output. Like this?

| 5/14/26 | Episode 82: On Public Speaking | Stage fright isn’t a personality trait, it’s a habit of self-protection and it can be unlearned. After coming back from a talk in Dusseldorf, Germany, I’m sharing the public speaking tips that keep me excited instead of terrified, even when I’m nervous. If you’re a designer, artist, writer, or creative entrepreneur who wants better presentation skills without turning into a polished robot, this is a practical reset. Like this?

| 5/7/26 | Episode 81: Heather Crank & Understanding Creativity In A World Of AI | AI is speeding up creative work while quietly testing something deeper: our confidence, our craft, and our ability to think for ourselves. I sit down with my dear friend Heather Crank, a designer and generative AI designer who translates complex tech shifts into human creative insight, and we get honest about what it feels like to make art in an AI-shaped world.

| 4/23/26 | Episode 80: AI Is Here | AI’s growing presence isn’t the result of perfection or widespread readiness—it’s the outcome of rapid integration into nearly every aspect of modern life. This shift raises a difficult question for creatives: when a tool can generate endless concepts on demand, does it provide meaningful leverage, or does it risk diluting what gives creative work its value? There’s a tension between efficiency and originality, where “time-saving” can quietly become “taste-erasing” as starting points,... | 8m 48s | ||||||
| 4/16/26 | Episode 79: Jon Acuff | I talk with Jon Acuff about the questions that shape a life, from childhood “weirdness” and stage instincts to the hard parts of being a public voice. We dig into humor, mindset, perfectionism, productivity, and what “enough” looks like when you want to keep growing without burning down your relationships.

| 4/9/26 | Episode 78: The Luxury of Losing Everything | Oh Shit Susie Batiz went from surviving abuse, depression, and bankruptcy to building Poo-Pourri into a cultural icon and a massive business built on a deceptively simple idea: make the bathroom smell better. The part that grabbed us, though, isn’t the product story. It’s how she learned to trust her intuition when life stripped everything else away, and how that “luxury of losing everything” became the reset that finally felt like freedom. Like this?

| 4/2/26 | Episode 77: A Coaching Call | We’re pulling back the curtain and letting you hear a real coaching call with a client who’s doing the brave part: building something new while the old voice in his head keeps asking, “Who do you think you are?” That tension is the heartbeat of creative work. We talk about the moment self-doubt shows up, why asking for help is harder than it sounds, and how to sort true guidance from the noise of too many opinions. Like this?

| 3/26/26 | Episode 76: On Divorce | A relationship doesn’t usually explode. More often, it drifts. One missed conversation turns into a habit, the habit turns into distance, and suddenly two people who once felt like a team are living like roommates. I’m revisiting the lessons I pulled out of my own divorce because the communication gap between men and women feels louder than ever, and I don’t want anyone repeating my mistakes just because they’re common.

That one detail says more about the power of design than a thousand trend reports, and it’s where this story begins. Like this?

We sit down with the artist and author behind Here We Are, Lost and Found, and a body of fine art that blends warmth, wit, and precise simplicity. From a childhood in Belfast during the Troubles to late nights in Brooklyn studios, Oliver shares how pictures became a second lan... | 47m 09s | ||||||

| 2/19/26 | Episode 71: Welcome To The Resistance | Ever notice how the first targets in a crackdown are painters, poets, designers, and musicians? We unpack why creativity terrifies the powerful and how images, jokes, and typography can loosen the grip of official narratives. From Plato’s plan to expel poets to Osip Mandelstam’s lethal epigram about Stalin, we follow the thread of art’s subversive power and the real risks makers take when they refuse to look away.

| 2/12/26 | Episode 70: Fear Kills Play | If you are a stuck or frustrated creative and want to get paid to do what you love, let's talk. https://yourworkisagift.com/coaching A single line in a museum—“My kid could do that”—can sound like a verdict on art and creativity. We turn that line on its head and ask the better question: if your kid tried, why won’t you? From a thirty-second drawing exercise that dissolves a room of suits into laughter to the quiet ways fear sneaks into our choices, we trace how rules, judgment, and c... | 6m 48s | ||||||

I sit down with Chris Do to trace the human story behind the brand: immigrant roots, schoolyard fights, and the quiet hours that taught him logic, ethics, and the courage to stand up.

| 1/29/26 | Episode 68: My Start | If you are a stuck or frustrated creative and want to get paid to do what you love, let's talk. https://yourworkisagift.com/coaching A pool of melted crayons on a hot porch. That’s where the spark ignites—a small, searing memory that grows into a compass for a creative life that refuses to wait for permission. We pull the thread from that moment through school punishments, false starts, and the long apprenticeship with failure to reveal a simple truth: you don’t get your start, you m... | 29m 10s | ||||||
| 1/22/26 | Episode 67: An Interview With James Victore | If you are a stuck or frustrated creative and want to get paid to do what you love, let's talk. https://yourworkisagift.com/coaching What happens when you refuse to sand down your edges? The conversation moves from Eddie Murphy’s Raw to grocery-store temptations, from the pull of the wine aisle to the quiet dignity of choosing Topo Chico and showing up clear. The throughline is honesty: say the thing you mean and build a life that can hold it. Like this? Join us on Substack and s... | 29m 22s | ||||||
| 1/15/26 | Episode 66: Do It | If you are a stuck or frustrated creative and want to get paid to do what you love, let's talk. https://yourworkisagift.com/coaching A single question from a leatherworker cracks open a universal creative dilemma: do you keep taking every paid project, or do you specialize, raise your standards, and build a reputation that actually lights you up? We don’t sugarcoat it. Safety can feel sensible, but it often locks you into survival mode. The ache you feel is growth—proof that you’re ou... | 18m 39s | ||||||
| 1/8/26 | Episode 65: Ask For More | If you are a stuck or frustrated creative and want to get paid to do what you love, let's talk. https://yourworkisagift.com/coaching Some doors open because you knock. Others open because you knock, wait a year, and keep making brave work while you do. Today we share the true story of how a cold, unglamorous submission—dropped at a museum coat room—turned into a call from a curator, ten pieces accepted into the collection, and five on the wall at the Museum of Modern Art. No gala, no plaqu... | 13m 48s | ||||||
| 1/1/26 | Episode 64: How To See The Light | If you are a stuck or frustrated creative and want to get paid to do what you love, let's talk. https://yourworkisagift.com/coaching Holiday platitudes fall flat when the world feels divided and your own history makes joy hard to hold. We open the blinds anyway. This conversation moves from candor to craft: how to reject toxic positivity without surrendering to cynicism, and how to build a daily practice that actually lifts you out of the dark. Like this?

We dig into a simple, radical practice that restores joy to your work and your life: celebrate everything. Not just the wins. The messes, the near-misses, the chores, and the doodles that make you grin for a second before you move on. When we stop deflecting praise and start marking small moments, the process becom... | 19m 49s | ||||||
| 12/11/25 | Episode 62: One Year, One Honest Voice | If you are a stuck or frustrated creative and want to get paid to do what you love, let's talk. https://yourworkisagift.com/coaching A year on the mic reveals a simple truth: audiences don’t want polish for its own sake, they want a real voice with a real opinion. I look back at twelve months of The Right Questions and unpack the habits, mindsets, and small decisions that made weekly publishing possible. From capturing ideas in the car to writing six to ten pages before I record, I sh... | 23m 58s | ||||||

We unpack the hero’s journey as a living, repeatable map for creative people who feel out of place, “too weird,” or stuck in roles that shrink their voice. Instead of chasing someone else’s path, we look at how early shame steals play, why many of us ref... | 17m 53s | ||||||
| 11/27/25 | Episode 60: Google Changed Us | If you are a stuck or frustrated creative and want to get paid to do what you love, let's talk. https://yourworkisagift.com/coaching A simple truth with sharp edges: comfort can make a person small. The opening provokes, then builds a case for recovering the muscles that tech convenience quietly atrophies—solitude, memory, intuition, and the courage to risk being wrong. This exploration digs into how constant connectivity burrows into daily life, why reviews and surveys sneakily replace j... | 17m 48s | ||||||
| 11/20/25 | Episode 59: Fearless Friends | If you are a stuck or frustrated creative and want to get paid to do what you love, let's talk. https://yourworkisagift.com/coaching What happens when the people who made you braver step into the same room? We trace a creative life through friendships that challenged our taste, sharpened our voice, and taught us how to make work that lasts. From early days on the AIGA board to classrooms at SVA, I unpack the small acts that compound into confidence: record the first try, record the last tr... | 23m 10s | ||||||
