Let's Go Again: A Philosophical and Practical Guide for Indie Creatives – Details, episodes & analysis

ALERT THE PRESSES.

You can make a body of work that reveals you to be an unpredictable genius pop star at age 42, if you so choose.

Do you so choose?

If this is the year you want to stop grinding against the rickety machine that someone else built and always breaks down right before you’re supposed to get paid…

and instead you want to heroically hurdle yourself into space at rocket-speed toward your biggest goals like Matt Damon launching himself off Mars in nothing but a spacesuit and a tarp…

Then you’ll need to make a paradoxical move.

What’s a Paradoxical Move?

A paradoxical move is, as Michelle Pellizzon Lipsitz explains in this week’s episode, an intentional break in the pattern of your personal thinking. It’s going left when you’d usually go right.

But it’s not a grind. And it’s not random. It’s actually fast and somewhat effortless, super strategic and exceptionally fun.

I wanted to talk with Michelle about this because she introduced me to this concept back in 2021, and there’s literally no one smarter I could ask to explain it to me.

Michelle isn’t just the founder of Holisticism or the host of The Twelfth House or the creator of SPACIES or the brain behind sublimatrix — a Matrix of Destiny cipher or a consultant that offers incredible status quo-changing experiences to her clients.

After almost a decade of running a very profitable company, she could sit back and let the hits keep coming. But instead, she’s soon going to UCLA to pursue her PhD.

So truly, there is no one better with whom I could ask about making unknowable, unexpected, and career-intensifying moves than Michelle.

In this episode, we discuss:

* The spectrum of age and how it changes your understanding of the creative process

* The way independent artists can use institutions as a way to make their body of work at a faster rate

* Infinite Games vs. Finite Games (thanks Yancey Strickler & Joshua Citarella for the inspo there!)

* How to discern what you think is cool when you feel indoctrinated by the culture

* How to become more unknowable and more unpredictable and evade AI from co-opting your brain

* And how to use paradoxical moves in your career to find way more opportunities and get where you want to go much faster

The episode vibe is as follows:

MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:

🔥 Metalabel’s New Creative Era podcast (if you like this episode, you’ll love their whole first season)

🪩 Price Pritchett’s book, You Squared

🍿 Kinsley Vs., my independent web series

⚾️ Ted Hope’s Q&A with Carson Lund about his new movie Eephus: "When trying to express the intangible parts of your mind and soul..."

I can take on 2 more clients for my currently-running 1:1 experiences in May.

These are the tracks available:

* Copy & Content Sessions: helping you craft noise-cutting copy

* Mastering the Release: designing a release campaign for your work

* Scene-Building Startup: setting up infrastructure for your indie career

We can work on one of these tracks two different ways: either a one-time private intensive, or a 4-week work sprint.

Curious? Let me know what you need in 30s here…

And let’s chat.

Hi!

IMPORTANT QUESTION FOR INDIE ARTISTS:

What’s the difference between the independent artist who spends all their brain power on trying to “hack the system” to gain more followers

and an independent artist who says whatever they want, whenever they want, how they want, with no algorithmic rhyme or reason and can still sit back and watch their career and audience grow?

If you think it’s “right place/right time” magical luck, you’d be sadly mistaken.

Or, if you’re certain *some* art is just more popular than others, that’s not it either.

If you’re guessing:

* they’d have to be famous…

* or maybe they’ve been working on it for decades…

* or they have a trust fund, so they can actually put time and effort into their growth strategies?

That’s a no, no, and absolutely not.

While some of these situations could potentially help, they’re not where real power exists. In all of those examples, the artist is still relying on outside forces of time, money, luck, or status.

But real power (life-changing power) isn’t built from time, money, luck, or status.

It’s built from attention. And what drives attention?

Writing that hooks.

If you could grow your career by using writing that hooks instead of chasing constantly-changing algorithms, would you finally take yourself seriously?

In today’s episode, I’m going to convince you of the power of writing that hooks AND I’m going to show you how to do it.

IN TODAY’S EPISODE, we’ll answer these questions:

* Why is writing the most important skill for indie artists?

* How does writing that hooks push your career forward?

* Why should I spend time on writing when I have so many other important things to do as an independent artist?

* How can I use specifics to quickly hook my reader?

* How does tension work in hooky writing?

* What do the 3-Act and 5-Act Structure writing models prove about writing that hooks?

* Why is my audience’s “repetition of ideas” an important part of my career growth?

MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:

😬 Using surprise and absurdity in Kinsley Vs. to create a hooky writing moment. David Gow and Lauren Karaman never cease to make me laugh-cringe-cry.

⚡️ Colin Corrigan’s “Attachment in Severance” from his fantastic Substack: The Story Energies

🔮 Octavia Butler’s essay “A Few Rules for Predicting the Future” from Essence Magazine, 2000

I'm offering a 1:1 experience for my fellow indie artists in April and May. These are the tracks available:

* Copy & Content Sessions: helping you craft noise-cutting copy

* Mastering the Release: designing a release campaign for your work

* Scene-Building Startup: setting up infrastructure for your indie career

We can work on one of these tracks two different ways: either a one-time private intensive, or a 4-week work sprint.

Curious? Let me know what you need here…

And I'll email you directly with what I think could help.

⌨️ Tell me in the comments: where do you think you can add more tension to your writing?

The Transition Era. It's a tough one. When you're in between gigs, or looking to change careers, or trying to figure out how to make money as an artist, the career decision making process can easily go from exciting to exhausting within one Google search. There are so many choices. So many options. So many opinions from experts telling us what path we should follow. But for so many of us, it can feel like "I don't know what to do with my life/career" so how could I even make a choice. And around and around we go.

In this week's episode, we're talking about Choice Overload, the two kinds of decision-makers, 4 ways to approach decision making, and 2 big misconceptions about regret.

Plus an exercise at the end for making a decision + our Artist Timeline career quiz down below!

Artists are storytellers. But perhaps the loudest and most powerful stories we tell are the self-defeating ones inside our own heads. Whether you're talking yourself out of being creative, building up a strong self image, or facing your inner critic, your self talk is running all the time.

Queen of Self Talk, author and speaker, Katie Horwitch, is on the show today sharing what self talk is, how creatives can shift to positive self talk, how self talk impacts our careers, and how self talk connects to our long term vision.

ABOUT KATIE HORWITCH:

Katie Horwitch is a nationally recognized author, speaker, mindset coach, and self-talk activist who has spent over a decade working to shift the cultural self-talk paradigm. She has spoken across the country about self-confidence, living fearlessly, and shifting the stories and habits that help shape our negative self-talk patterns. Katie is the founder of the multimedia platform WANT: Women Against Negative Talk and the host of The WANTcast: The Women Against Negative Talk Podcast, which gives you tips, tools, motivation and inspiration to shift your self-talk patterns. She has been featured by SXSW, NBC, KTLA, The Cut, and more, and was praised by CNN as a “woman empowering others around the world.”

Art jobs aren't like other jobs. There's no clear ladder toward success. You can follow all the career growth advice you want, but careers for creative people are just...different. They're non-linear. They're nebulous. They're cyclical. Sometimes they feel directionless.

And that's because an artist's career path is more like a spiral than a straight line. It can make it hard to plot out how each point leads to the next. So in this episode, we're talking about the 5 Levels of the Artist Timeline to figure out where you are, what your challenges are, and what you should do next.

How do artists make money? Ah that old chestnut. We're going to discuss this in depth today. But please be advised: this episode is not a get rich quick scheme. There are no 10 steps to follow. But, what you will find in this episode could change your whole relationship to money, inspire a ton of ways to make money as an artist, and help you figure out the precise income level that would feel like success for you.

The whole episode is like one mini workshop bringing the concepts of art and money closer together through one magical being: you.

Art, money, success. All these things seem to have everything and nothing to do with each other. In part 2 of our 3 part series on artists and money, we're discussing how shifting industries are shifting the path for artists' careers. We'll look at the fall of commercial prestige, the rise of artist to audience connection, and we'll try to answer the question "how do artists make money for art?" by looking at the art/money long game.

Don't miss the 3-question exercise at the end of the episode that connects your long term goal to what you could be working on right now to achieve it.

How to make money as an artist is an evergreen topic. There are so many factors that affect our ability to make income through art. Systemic, temporal, personal, global factors. But when the path is cleared, and the ways to make money as an artist are clearly laid out before you, if you believe in money myths, you're still going to feel stuck.

In this episode, I walk you through 4 myths I learned when I raised $70k to produce a web series. What I found was when I reframed these myths for myself, I figured out how to make money as an artist for myself. There's no one way to do anything, but clearing these myths helped me figure out *my* way. And they could help you, too.

This is PART ONE of our 3-part Artists & Money series.

If the best teacher is hindsight, the second best teacher is someone else's hindsight. And when that someone else is a dynamic thinker and artist, even better. In today's episode, we're going to take pocket theories (helpful little theories of the creative game) from some of the greats and apply them to our own work.

These creative philosophies will touch on how to ask for money, a handful of writing tips to make more impact and get more attention, the slickness of comparison, keeping the faith, and one thing you absolutely must stop doing with your creative work, right now this very instant.

Talent is elusive. It's alluring. To some degree, we're all desperate to be talented. Being called 'talented' feels like winning. It feels like that secret voice inside our heads saying, "You're special! You're special!" might just be right. But the nature of talent isn't quite what we assume it is.

In this week's episode, I'll talk about the three rules of talent, Leslie Jones's wonderful advice on how to act from talent, and how to become more talented with one simple exercise.
