This podcast episode focuses on the importance of spreading kindness in our artistic pursuits, inspired by Michael Brennan's workbook, "Make Fun a Habit." Timothy Kimo Brien emphasizes that kindness should not only be directed outward to the audience and community but also inward, towards ourselves, as a way to acknowledge our skills and passions. The episode dives into a series of reflective questions designed to help creators assess their strengths, weaknesses, and resources, ultimately highlighting the need to understand our contributions to the world. Timothy shares personal insights from his creative journey, including his experiences with poetry and music, and offers actionable items for listeners to engage in acts of kindness through their art. The conversation encourages artists to be mindful of their intentions and to cultivate relationships with their community while remaining patient and open to feedback.
