How to Keep Cool Creatively when Life Goes Crazy: Setting Priorities, Changing Strategies, and Seeing a Better Future - a podcast by Allen C. Paul

When things go sideways in life...can you keep your cool and keep moving forward?

The drastic changes that can alter our lives as creatives have never been more apparent. Cultural shifts, technological innovations and industry shake-ups are now commonplace. 

In order to stay relevant, we have to look past the temporary problems and find some solid principles that allow us to adjust our sails while still pressing forward with our creative goals and strengthening our most precious relationships. 

In this, our 75th episode, we unpack some essential truths about setting priorities, maintaining integrity in business, and visualizing a better future by setting goals - all aspects of the creative process that don’t change with the times. 

We’ve shared these key principles in this series of talks on our Creative Checkup videos, as we continue unpacking some of the topics discussed in depth in our book “God and Gigs: Succeed as a Musician Without Sacrificing your Faith”. These timeless principles, rather than growing stale, are becoming more and more relevant to our current challenges as creatives in a brand-new decade. 

Key Topics covered in this episode

• Why Establishing your Priorities is even more important when circumstances are shifting
• The lesson of the Big Rocks and how to prioritize the right things even when it’s hard
• The reason your character and integrity are key to surviving major shifts in the arts and entertainment industry
• How to continue seeing a better future and visualizing new goals despite unforeseen challenges.
