Reimagining Creative Success and Dreaming Up a New World with Alex Lewis

<p>The events of our time make it clear--things can't remain as is.</p> <p>To create the world we want to live in, we need to both welcome the destruction of old structures and make room for the future to unfold before our eyes.</p> <p>Through Capitalism, we've learned that our creative process is worth the dollar sign attached to it, but the creative process cannot be adequately priced. Creativity doesn’t need a price tag to be potent and not every idea needs to become your next business or art project.</p> <p>What if we allowed ideas to breathe and just be? What if we listened to how our ideas want to exist in the world and derived pleasure from that? What if we liberated the creative process from the pressure of profitability? Another world is possible.</p> <p><strong>Topics discussed in this episode:</strong></p> <ul> <li>reimagining creative success apart from capitalism</li> <li>seeing revolution as a portal to a new world</li> <li>ideation for a new world</li> <li>embracing our ideas as they come</li> <li>releasing the broke artist narrative</li> </ul> <p><strong>Resources mentioned in this episode:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Spirituality-Imperfection-Storytelling-Search-Meaning/dp/0553371320">Spirituality of Imperfection by Ernest Kurtz</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.npr.org/2020/12/16/947147392/making-revolution-irresistible">NPR's Louder than a Riot: Making Revolution Irresistible</a></p> <p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/5K6cCDqfT0GvRHLlefgsxZ?si=Tm7PcngASjC0zEDnbCXdVg">Listen to the Alex + Koku Podcast</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/thebravelittlebookclub/">Find the Brave Little Book Club on Instagram</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/lewisalex10/">Find Alex Lewis on Instagram</a></p> <p><strong>About Alex Lewis:</strong></p> <p>Alex Lewis is a writer, social media specialist at Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams, founder of Car Window Poetry, co-host of the Brave Little Book Club, and podcast host (lead host of the Words Matter podcast &amp; co-ho
