Semistupid On Content Creation, Movies and Self Help For Creatives

<p>We started out with some audience submitted questions that actually opened up some cool conversation. We learned things like favourite quotes, books and movies that he enjoys. We also got pretty deep talking about Ninja Turtle characters and how we are all best represented by one of them.</p><p>We talked about clout chasers and why David was willing to come on JKL even though our show isn’t huge (yet). It lead to a really good conversation about values and why we collaborate as creatives.</p><p>Semistupid is a big fan of TV and movies, so we probably brought up about a hundred different shows, or stories throughout the episode. Some really interesting wisdom, and discussion came from these examples.</p><p>Listening to the journey that David went on as a creator is pretty cool. He started with a passion for filmmaking at a young age. But there was no real way to share his projects before social media became more popular. Old cameras, purely for the creative, was where he got started. That’s changed a lot now that he has created a ton of viral content across social media.</p><p><strong>Self-Help And Success For Creatives</strong></p><p>The lifestyle around his creative life also went through transformations. He went from random videos as part of a creative partnership to building the brand Semistupid more as a solopreneur. He built better personal habits, daily routines and started to learn about building a business around his passion. </p><p>I think our conversation about success was really interesting. A lot of people see the actual content that is shared on our pages. What they don’t see is all of the work that goes into it. People don’t appreciate the routine, systems and habits. The fact that David built Semistupid for like ten years before finding fame. There is so much that you don’t see from your favourite creatives. </p><p>This could be depressing, but taken the right way it should be refreshing. Build patient, five to ten year goals and start crafting daily habits toward that vision. Love the process a
