    084 – Embracing Sensitivity: The Journey Behind ‘Flashes of Elation’
    Feb 22 2025
    Have you ever felt like your sensitivity was more of a curse than a gift? Do you find yourself deeply affected by criticism, overwhelmed by intense environments, or struggling to navigate a world that seems built for less sensitive souls? Perhaps you've even wondered if success in the creative field is possible for someone who feels everything so deeply. In this episode of Creativity Excitement Emotion, David Andrew Wiebe opens up about his personal journey through the depths of sensitivity – from the challenging summer of 2014 when he "lost his business, lost the girl, and lost his faith," to his transformative discovery of resources for highly sensitive people. He shares the story behind his latest book, "Flashes of Elation: Navigating the World as a Sensitive, Creative Soul," while weaving in powerful insights about how what appears to be a weakness can become your greatest creative strength. Whether you identify as a highly sensitive person or simply want to understand the intersection of sensitivity and creativity better, this episode offers both validation and practical wisdom for your creative journey.

Highlights: 00:17 – A spontaneous approach to content and embracing the mainstream 04:45 – Is Flashes of Elation finally available? 06:07 – For those who pre-ordered the book… 08:16 – What is Flashes of Elation about? 09:42 – The complex nature of personal evolution 10:35 – The story behind Flashes of Elation 14:12 – The writing process 14:58 – Wrapping up the preview Summary: In this candid episode, David Andrew Wiebe opens up about the origins and release of his latest book, "Flashes of Elation: Navigating the World as a Sensitive, Creative Soul." Through unscripted, natural storytelling, he weaves together the personal journey that led to the book's creation with current insights about content creation, authenticity, and the evolution of creative work. The episode demonstrates David's current approach to content – speaking from experience rather than scripts – while exploring how this very method reflects the growth journey described in his book. Key Themes & Takeaways The episode explores several interconnected themes that resonate throughout both David's current work and his book: The evolution from structured to spontaneous content creation, exemplified by his current approach to podcasting where preparation often consists of just "turning over some ideas" in his mind The parallel between personal growth and creative expression, particularly how embracing one's natural tendencies can lead to more authentic work The journey of accepting and leveraging sensitivity as a strength, illustrated through both past experiences and current content creation methods The balance between mainstream appeal and maintaining authenticity, drawing inspiration from artists like David Bowie who successfully navigated this transition The power of unscripted, authentic communication in building genuine connections with audiences The recognition that different phases of our creative journey serve different purposes, even if we later evolve beyond them David's approach reflects a broader shift in content creation, moving away from heavily structured formats toward more authentic, conversational styles. This mirrors his personal journey from seeing sensitivity as a limitation to recognizing it as a unique advantage in creative work. Origins and Inspiration David shares the pivotal moment that sparked the book's creation, taking us back to a transformative period in 2014. During this time, he experienced what he describes as a "triple loss" – his business, a significant relationship, and his religious faith all fell away simultaneously. This period serves as more than just backstory; it represents ...

    082 – The Art of Showing Up: Finding Your Natural Voice
    Feb 7 2025
    Sometimes you stumble into things. Song ideas. Promo ideas. Even opportunities of the highest order. The trick? There isn’t one. Or, if there is one, it’s to stay consistent. Keep showing up and doing the work while remaining open-minded about your approach and where things can take you. Creativity Excitement Emotion? Still here. Still going. And your courageous host David has some things to say about last week’s episode and what he realized about a famous Seth Godin quote. Download the PDF Transcript Sponsors: Productivity, Performance & Profits Blackbook: Get a free copy of the “Definitive Guide to Productivity for Artists and Entrepreneurs.” The Renegade Musician: David’s magnum opus on building an independent music career is here! Highlights: 00:17 – Digging the new vibes? 00:47 – Shuffling the reshuffle 02:25 – Podcasting is the new blogging 07:34 – How well do you criticize yourself? 09:20 – Repurposing and expanding 12:04 – Deeper realizations 13:12 – Concluding thoughts Summary: In this thoughtful follow-up episode, David explores the unexpected evolution of his podcast format, reflecting on Seth Godin's insight that "podcasting is the new blogging." He shares how last week's more personal, introspective episode inadvertently revealed a more authentic direction for the show while continuing to navigate the challenges of success and increasing demands on his time. Key Themes & Takeaways The organic discovery of authenticity in content creation, when letting go of predetermined formats The parallel between blogging and podcasting as platforms for personal reflection and connection The importance of self-awareness in artistic development, while acknowledging our blind spots The balance between maintaining good habits and adapting to increased professional demands Format Evolution David shares a crucial realization about the podcast's direction: The previous week's more personal format emerged naturally, without intentional experimentation Every other platform in his portfolio focuses on other people, making this podcast unique as a space for personal updates The combination of music, reflection, and personal insights created an unexpectedly resonant format The power of authentic voice over structured content "I wasn't trying to experiment and find a new format for the show," David reflects. "That's not what I had in mind. And yet that seems to be where we landed." The Changing Media Landscape The episode provides valuable insights into content creation trends: Podcasting's adoption curve has taken nearly 20 years to reach mainstream consciousness The potential for being in "the midst of the podcast revolution" despite the rise of video content The value of cross-platform publishing through tools like the Blubrry PowerPress plugin, which automatically distributes content across platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and iHeartRadio The continuing relevance of audio content in a video-first world Seth Godin's prescient observation about "podcasting being the new blogging" has proven remarkably accurate. When he made this prediction in 2014, podcasting was still considered a niche medium. His insight wasn't just about the technological shift, but about the democratization of personal broadcasting. Just as blogs allowed individuals to bypass traditional publishing gatekeepers, podcasting has enabled creators to build intimate, direct relationships with their audiences through consistent, authentic content. Action Steps for Artists Drawing from David's experiences and insights, creators can consider these practical steps: Embrace natural evolution in your content creation, allowing authentic formats to emerge organically rather than forcing predetermined structures. Develop self-awareness about your craft while remaining open to feedback and coaching – as David notes about musicianship,
