Ep. 003 - Mary Kate McDevitt: Fake IDs, Telephones & Using Art as Your Voice

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

mercredi 6 août 2025 • Durée 01:51:39

What if your creativity was the loudest voice in the room?

In this episode of the Creative Slash Podcast, Brad and Dustin sit down with illustrator and letterer Mary Kate McDevitt to talk about aliens, simulated realities, and the messy balance between creativity and commentary.

From punk shows and fake IDs to organizing art around advocacy, Mary Kate opens up about her journey from skater poser to full-blown creative powerhouse living in a Vermont farmhouse with disco balls and barn concerts.

They unpack:

The risks and rewards of speaking up as a creative
Why vulnerability online doesn’t have to mean being polarizing
The chaos-to-clarity loop behind making art and organizing a creative life
How a “tornado” of ideas becomes a career (and a pond full of frogs)

It's real, it's hilarious, it's inspiring, and yes, you’ll probably want to move to Vermont by the end of it.

Ep. 002 - Redefining Success: What Creatives Learn Too Late

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

mardi 5 août 2025 • Durée 59:26

What We Thought We Wanted: Chasing Creative Goals, Awards, and Freedom

In this episode, Brad and Dustin get candid about the career goals they chased in their 20s. They talk about titles, awards, creative recognition, and how those ambitions evolved.

You’ll hear stories about near-broke early careers, chasing mimetic desires (thanks, Wanting), the messy pursuit of “success,” and the quiet realization that a Coke tastes the same whether you’re rich or not.

They also share how family, burnout, and unexpected wins like Skillshare courses shaped their career paths.

Whether you’re just starting out or rethinking what matters, this one’s for anyone navigating the long game of creative life.

Ep. 004 - Discovering Joy in Your Work Today, by Pulling From Your Past

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

mercredi 13 août 2025 • Durée 46:39

Leaning into the Nostalgia of Our Childhood, to Help Us Make Work We Love.

In this episode, Brad and Dustin ask: How can pulling inspiration from our childhood help us make work we are excited about today?

They share stories of the spaces they grew up spending time in, and how the aesthetics left warm memories that influenced their creative preferences and working styles today.

They explore why nostalgia is such a powerful creative tool, how it makes work feel more authentic, and why projects tied to personal meaning are easier to sustain. Which leads them to discussing the fine line between knocking something off, and paying homage.

Brad and Dustin also discuss the long-term value of passion projects, even without immediate financial payoff. By weaving in what matters most to you, your work becomes more fulfilling and resilient, hopefully reigniting some passion and uniqueness back into your work.

Ep. 005 – Armin Vit: The Voice Behind Brand New on Risk, Critique & Creative Discipline

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

mercredi 20 août 2025 • Durée 01:08:16

Armin Vit is the sharp voice behind Brand New, one of the most widely read blogs on corporate and brand identity redesigns. As co-founder of UnderConsideration, alongside his wife Bryony, he’s spent the last two decades shaping how designers talk about design through writing, conferences, and community-building.

Now, with their newest venture In-house In-focus, they’re spotlighting the often-overlooked work of in-house creative teams.

In this episode, Brad and Dustin go beyond the critiques and keynotes to explore the real Armin: the former “lazy” student who learned to bet on himself, the introvert who cold-emailed Paula Scher, and the guy who applies design thinking to his grocery cart like it’s a case study.

You’ll hear about:

Why being willing to sound like a “jerk” helped him build a name in design
How risk (and rejection) fueled his creative breakthroughs
The power of structure, systems, and showing up (even without “natural talent”)
Why in-house designers deserve the spotlight

If you’ve ever felt the tension between staying safe and standing out, or wondered what it really takes to build a voice in the creative industry, this is the inside story.

Ep. 006 - The Real Cost of Undervaluing Yourself

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

mercredi 27 août 2025 • Durée 58:29

Why is pricing your creative work so damn hard?

In this episode, Brad and Dustin get real about one of the messiest parts of being a creative: putting a price on your talent.

Dustin shares the view from the other side of the table. What it’s like hiring artists who lowball themselves before he even asks.

Meanwhile, Brad opens up about the internal tug-of-war between self-worth and market rates, and the uncomfortable truth that pricing isn’t just about numbers, it’s about identity.

They dive into:

Why asking, “What’s your budget?” still feels awkward
How undercharging can damage trust (not just your wallet)
The emotional weight behind every pricing decision
Navigating the tension between doing it for love and making a living

Whether you're freelancing, licensing, or negotiating your next client project, this episode will help you rethink how you value your work (and yourself).

Ep. 007 - Aaron Draplin - Insect Souls, Old Action Figures & the Pursuit of Freedom

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

mercredi 3 septembre 2025 • Durée 02:06:45

Aaron Draplin doesn’t mince words. His ideas are as bold and unshakable as his design work.

And on this sweltering afternoon in the Pacific Northwest, he was in a rare, reflective mood.

From aliens to afterlives in design, Draplin opens up about what comes next after building a massive creative brand, and what it really means to start fresh.

In this episode:

The cosmic link between bugs, belief, and being a good human
What five months of dish shifts in Alaska taught him about freedom
Why he won’t sell you a $200 poster (and what he sells instead)
Fate vs. control: how much of success is luck, and how much is yours to claim
How he built a creative life on his own terms (and how you can too)

If you’re a creative feeling stuck, cynical, or ready for a reset, this one’s for you.

Ep. 008 - We Tested These “Genius” Quotes (Some Are Trash)

Saison 1 · Épisode 8

mercredi 10 septembre 2025 • Durée 58:40

Have you ever read a quote from someone influential and wondered: “Is this actually good advice or do we just think it is because a famous person said it?”

In this episode, we put that question to the test. Dustin presents Brad with a series of well-known quotes, without revealing who said them, and gets his unfiltered take on whether the advice holds up.

The results? Surprisingly nuanced.

Some quotes offer timeless wisdom. Others only work in very specific contexts. And a few directly contradict each other.

From designers to dictators, we explore how much weight we should give to creative advice (and why who said it, and when, changes everything).

Stick around as they unpack what makes advice worth following, why context is everything, and how to tell the difference between inspiration and distraction.
