This week, Mark and Zac are joined by past contributor and follower of the show, Benny 'The Stoic Padawan' a world traveller who has just returned to his native Netherlands and back home with his parents.  A situation that resonated with Mark, who also found himself back at home, however, in slightly different circumstances. 

In this week's show, Benny shared the challenges of living and working overseas and realised that learning and using a different language and the ability to communicate in that language is an incredibly liberating feeling as well as building the self confidence that comes with the ability to express yourself in another language.

Benny also goes on to share that he also creates and writes in other languages and how this has 'opened doors' to new opportunities and that allowing yourself to be 'vulnerable' is also a great way of getting to understand your true talents and how important it is to 'let go' of all inhibitions.

One of the main reasons for our podcast show is to support and encourage those who feel the interest and desire to do something creative but haven't yet found the confidence to do so.

As creative and expressive types, we can often live too long in 'our heads' and remain hidden 'in the shadows' without giving ourselves the opportunity to just try.

This week, Mark and Zac are joined by past contributor and follower of the show, Vanessa 'The Wellbeing Blogger'. The group discuss the benefits of self expression and  being  'in the flow' with particular focus on 'Outsiders Art',  people not trained as artists but with the instinct as well as interest to release their creativity through artistic expression.

It is incredibly powerful as well as therapeutic to create art and therefore people should be encouraged to 'self express' and particularly within a safe and non judgemental space in order to find their own style and process.

This week, Mark and Zac discuss 'mortality'. Following the recent passing of Zac's father,  it seemed opportune to dedicate this week's podcast to one our biggest followers.

As creative and expressive types, we can often live too long in 'our heads' often putting 'things off' as they appear too daunting and unrealistic to start or even complete. 

It is with the awareness and realisation that  we only have a limited time to actually  do those 'things' that up until now were  present only in our imagination and possibly with a little less anxiety and greater confidence.

After all, what is the worst that can happen by trying ?

Mark and Zac also discuss the idea of 'legacy' projects and the connection that such activities can create. Having children is often the very driving factor that starts projects, in the hope that creating something for others, we become the best and possibly truest version of ourselves.

This week, Mark and Zac discuss the benefits of developing yourself by taking creative courses to develop your skills, knowledge and most importantly heighten your self confidence through practice.

As creative and expressive types, we can often live too long in 'our heads' and remain hidden 'in the shadows' without giving ourselves the opportunity to just try.

Courses and programmes are now readily available, either online or at arts centres in your local community. By developing your skills and ability you are allowing yourself to grow and self express which can only be a good thing, as well as potentially getting inspired along the way by meeting like minded people.

This week, Mark and Zac discuss going out socially for a few drinks and whether it still holds the same appeal as it used to be. How places may change but the crowd still remain the same and... how is it that despite the financial turmoil,  people are still going out as if nothing has ever changed ?

This week, Mark and Zac share insights, experiences as well as discuss the importance of having a foundation in place before any form of public performance. 

The integral steps required of practice and visualisation are key to ensuring that you can evolve and develop your skills, passions and interests to another level.

Fundamental to this, however,  is the self belief and awareness that following your instinctive path is an integral part of who you are. All that is missing is the 'doing', practice and support from family, friends, tutors and mentors to help build that foundation to help you truly believe in yourself and gain the confidence to move away from just thought.

Our podcasts use 'creativity 'and 'expression' as reference points within our discussion as they are integral parts our identity and how we  use them as tools and a method of engagement.
