Why Sober Artists (ALMOST) Never Fail

Video Description

Come find the newsletter, podcast, and much more https://linktr.ee/insidecreativeminds Oh sobriety - how you infiltrate the creative space entirely. Listen to interviews with ten of your favourite artists, and a good six or seven will probably mention a strained relationship with the altered states. So what can we deduce then? Well, that this sobriety we speak on, is an issue we must discuss and share about. In this videoepisode specifically, I explore the idea that artists & creatives themselves, might be more susceptible to the kind of obsessive or self-destructive patterns of drug or alcohol abuse, and also that sobriety might open the door to a kind of authenticity, and work ethic, which can offer the most durable approach to actually achieving your hard and interesting creative goals. What do you think? I hope you enjoy it at least, I loved making it, and at this time of year… boy is it good to drill these ideas in a little.
