This week I get to sit down with comic creator, journalist, zine maker extraordinaire that is Caitlin Cook. Better known as Cooklin online I've been following her work a long while after discovering her comics about depression and then getting an insight into Asexuality through her other work. Not one to shy away from the harder topics and with a great sense of humour and story telling I thought she'd be a great person to catch up with.

We sit down to talk varied backgrounds of artists and how that comes into play when you create and market your work but also how that helps balance your own expectations of what can be achieved. Caitlin has a storied background in media and news and had a book coming out in the near term dealing in memoirs and sexuality so I highly recommend checking her out and giving her a follow to find out more!

This week I sit down to talk, trail and error. To talk failure to talk about how easy is it to be stopped at the first hurdle, the first locked door and figuring out the world. I am a person who for my own faults does not give up easily. I'll try to make it fit. To make it work. To build the thing my self but I don't know I was always like this. So lets talk about it and coin a phrase.

Rate of inconvenience. How many inconveniences do you need to have for you to no longer progress and to either give up or frustrate/convince yourself not to move forward and if you can identify that number...can you improve it?

This week I sit down with actor, teacher and overall performance creator ⁨@ryangilmartin5876⁩ as we talk about a challenge. Ryan like myself is from a background in small towns and villages but also like me has been and seen plenty of the world. Creating shows and experiences Ryan mixes history, folklore and insight to try and bring more creative opportunities to the world.

So this week we talk about the challenge of doing that in smaller and more rural places. Embracing the native homesteads and looking at how places like the East Midlands, Lincolnshire, North Lincolnshire and Humberside (I could keep going) face a challenge with not only finding creative and conceptually forward spaces but how generating those places can be a challenge too. To bring something not purely functional to an area where frivolity is met with suspicion is a challenge and a topic close to my core!

I do suggest you check out Ryan and what he's up to. At the time this episode goes live he's performing in "Henry the VIII used to hate us" and tickets are available across the east of England.

This week I slide down the counter to talk about how rarely some decisions are in your hand, be it through resources, days of the week or simply that the options are too many. I talk through a lazy easter Sunday and think on all that could have been and how my mind often doesn't let me rest.

Something I think a lot of people end up dealing with is indecision and splitting priority. Because the world is abundant and you have so much to do and want to do and so little time. So this week I talk through that.

This week I sat down with Mariela Flor Olivo "Mari" who talked me through the wonderful world of learning! Mari is an extremely talented individual who has taken on exploring art and creation through performance and continues to do so. This week we talk about how learning skills of self expression is more than just mastering the art itself but gives you all these extra talents like people skills, cognitive theory and mindful practice that transfer to the day to day work we do!

I've seen this no end in real life working with people who have side passions and who have made their living at the behest of their art but made it to support their own art as well. So if you're worried about the careful balance of art and capitalism or how working class artists get left behind you should maybe sit down for this chat too as it might help perspective or how people from different backgrounds can find their spaces to create.

This week I sit down to talk cognition and problem solving. It seems more often than not when I talk to people about problems the main blocker is they are thinking about it. Over thinking it. Needing to map an idea out and really detail through something. Which is one way of doing it. The other is to go the other approach. Stop thinking.

Do something else. Watch something. Entertain yourself. Put your body through some stress. My theory is as a human we've have fight or flight and during moments when we are problem fixated you can use that fight or flight to cut through to what you truly want. So this week I cosy in and sit and think about the notion of just not thinking.

This week we talk the draw backs, the struggles the problems with having multiple interests. Being multi interested can be a problem for a creative soul. It means you'll always be stretched thin, always struggle to target an audience and over all always have unfinished ambitions but at the same time...Damn it's fun.

After recent conversations with guests @ItsKavi and @AllOneVoice It seems like I'm not alone in my pursuit of being a little bit of everything all at once. So this week I sit down to talk about how to manage that expectation and perhaps give a little insight for budding creatives.
