    Getting Started
    Sep 7 2023
    We started. When you're In Residence as an artist, a writer, a musician, a leader–you're digging deep and tapping into your creativity. Learning and practicing and honing your craft. Creating teams, building relationships and culture, connecting ideas that may not be clearly connected.We see In Residence doing that via conversation.We like to dig deep, explore, learn, and grow.Let’s accomplish our goals as we lean into uncomfortable growth together.

  • The Overwhelm of Starting

    The Overwhelm of Starting
    Sep 14 2023
    How on earth do we start this? How do you start a project? We've got lots of reasons why we don't start: Is it good enough? Is it even worth me doing? Who wants to hear from me? Do I have something worthy to say? What is it that I'm going to contribute that's different and creative and thoughtful?We put up barriers and get stuck and spin. Where do you find yourself struggling when it comes to starting a project?You can overcome the resistance. Let’s dig deep, explore, learn, and grow as we lean into uncomfortable growth together. Brené Brown, Seth Godin, Steven Pressfield, Simon Sinek, and James Victore are mentioned in the episode. Their work has been instrumental for us as we learn and grow. There are many more, and we are sure to mention them in future episodes. Laura finds my copy of James Victore's Feck Perfuction amongst my books and we go into a bit of an impromptu book club. Do you ever do that? Grab a random book, open to a random page, and see what the universe has to offer? Episode 2 (Recorded way back on 4/11/23)

  • Practice Meets Perfection

    Practice Meets Perfection
    Sep 21 2023
    Perfectionism is complex and may appear in various shapes and forms: over-processing, hesitation, avoidance, and overwhelm. Our relationships and projects can suffer if we chase perfection. Let's lean in and harness the good, prepare for the bad, and close the door on the ugly. How will I show up? What will people think? How will they perceive what I put out there? What do I post? What do I say? Is it good enough? Am I showing up the way I want to show up? What’s the message I wanted to convey?Reading through the different types of perfectionism in Katherine Morgan Schafler’s The Perfectionist’s Guide to Losing Control: A Path to Peace and Power shows that perfectionism can be incredibly nuanced. And, being a perfectionist isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Can you recognizing it? And then, can you harness those things to be your superpowers? We also mention some insights from Jon Acuff’s Finish: Give Yourself the Gift of Done and Soundtracks: The Surprising Solution to Overthinking. We talked last time, around perfectionism, and just getting started. Just doing it, getting out there, posting the post, starting the project. The practice is the point. It’s not about doing the thing perfectly, it's about the process of going on that journey.Laura, “And I guess for me, maybe specifically the way that my perfectionism shows up. One thing that I know I can do is instead of sitting and struggling, perhaps I can continue to connect with you and talk through it. I think that's incredibly helpful for me. I also think just knowing that we're doing the best we can, that we're showing up honestly with good intention and letting that be good enough.”#InResidence #MakeCreateBuild #podcast #relationship Here are the works we mentioned in the episode:Katherine Morgan Schafler, The Perfectionist’s Guide to Losing Control: A Path to Peace and PowerJon Acuff, Finish: Give Yourself the Gift of Done and Soundtracks: The Surprising Solution to Overthinking Practice Meets Perfection Episode 3 (Recorded way back on 4/23/2023)Make Create Build Linktree

  • A Mixed Tape

    A Mixed Tape
    Sep 28 2023
    We've been thinking about how the podcast is rolling out and shaping up. As we're finding our voices, going through the different episodes, trying to piece together the conversations that we've had–we’ve gone from talking about just starting, to the overwhelm of starting, to perfectionism. So, how do we spend time with the things that light us up and surround ourselves with things that bring energy, excitement, and happiness? The ideas that you surround yourself with, the people, the things, the information, the practices, are ultimately what influences how you experience your world, your days.We dive-in to the books we read, the music we listen to and get excited about. The small little practices that help us stay positive, shift or reframe our perspectives, and keep moving forward. They all play a role in our ability to keep showing up, to do the work. We talk at length about a favorite new artist of ours, LP. It came to our attention after recording and publishing the episode, that in our discussion, we address LP with the incorrect pronouns. LP prefers they/them pronouns. We apologize for our oversight. Our aim is to be inclusive and for people to feel comfortable listening, participating, sharing space with us. We can’t always be articulate. We wish we could. Even if we don’t have the ‘right’ words to express our thoughts all the time, we will continue to learn, grow, and make space for others as we strive to share and listen generously.A Mixed Tape Episode 4 Make Create Build Linktree

    When life presents unexpected obstacles or you feel like waving the white flag; how do you keep going? You're in the hard part. That's the dip. How do you keep showing up and doing the best you can with the time you have? The way I try to work through is by choosing action. What choice can you make to keep moving forward with your project? We talk about some of our practices that we use to help us keep pushing forward, even when it gets hard. What resources or techniques do you find helpful when you are having trouble seeing a way forward?How Do You Keep Moving? Episode 5https://linktr.ee/makecreatebuild

  • Pushing Through Imposter Syndrome

    Pushing Through Imposter Syndrome
    Oct 12 2023
    Keith and Laura talk through imposter syndrome. The pitfalls and how they push past them. "I don't feel good enough," or "who am I to . . ." They address how it feels and how they push through to keep taking steps on the journey. We may not feel qualified to do this “thing” or “that." But, we are going to learn–a commitment to learn, to hold ourselves accountable, to improve–as we hone our craft and move forward.The conversation covers a swath of topics including: being a woman leader, confidence and competence, burnout and balance, overwork, rigor, practice, and the importance of community.Keep Leaning in and Thanks for Joining Us.Pushing Through Imposter Syndrome Episode 6https://linktr.ee/makecreatebuild

  • Start, Fail, and Do Work that Matters

    Start, Fail, and Do Work that Matters
    Oct 19 2023
    We’ve started, we’ve failed, and we keep moving forward. Laura and Keith look to keep their momentum going with work that matters. Speaking of work that matters, we are talking about Seth Godin’s “Poke the Box.” Over the week, we read (or reread) Poke the Box. And, now it's time for us to do what we do; talk about it and see what resonates with each other. We even mention a few other books that we've been enjoying by Mel Robbins, Alisa Cohn, Michael Bungay Stanier, and you better be sure, Keith mentions The Practice by Seth Godin. Let’s shines a light on the Lizard Brain. It’s time to commit to making a difference and decide what matters. Become an initiator. Start. Go. Do.Don't forget to send us any recommendations of your favorite reads or listens. And, if you have any suggestions for Laura as she leans into her writing, let us know.Start, Fail, and Do Work that Matters Episode 7🔊 LISTEN ON: 🟣 Apple 🟢 Spotify 🔵 Amazon 🟠 Overcast 🟠 Audible🔴 YouTube 📺 Full Episode Playlist📱 Shorts Playlist⚫️ Make Create Build Links
