Storytelling for Creatives with Yes Yes Marsha #236
I was sitting at my kitchen table. Beans, my tiny cavapoo, was asleep on my lap. 4.29pm. 1 minute until the podcast is due to start. I go through the usual checks - mic is connected. Camera is on. My hat isn’t crooked. Internet is connected.Suddenly, my screen goes blank and a pop up appears.. “something something updates restart” Beans stirs as loud shutdown music plays. I hate being late. I start to panic. It’s so embarrassing to have a guest left in an online waiting room.It’s 4.33pm. I manage to get back online and luckily, my guest isn’t there yet.I quickly check my emails in case she came and went. Nothing, I’m in the clear.Six minutes later, Marsha logs in.“Sorry I’m late” she says, “I’ve been listening to your podcast so much that I feel like I know you. I was getting ready, thinking ‘it’s only David, he won’t mind’”I didn’t mind at all.This weeks guest is Yes Yes Marsha - she’s a storytelling expert.You won’t want to miss this one.***Marsha’s secret web page for you with EVERYTHING she mentioned - yesyesmarsha.com/creativerebels@yesyesmarsha on all socials too Get full access to Creative Rebels at creativerebels.substack.com/subscribe

Be Violently You - Oliver Jeffers #235
I started a podcast as a hack. I wanted to speak to my heroes. If you email Seth Godin, Debbie Millman or Oliver Jeffers and ask for an hour of their time, the answer will probably be no.A podcast is the cheat code to having a conversation you never imagined you’d have and this week I get to tick another hero off of my list and share it with you.Oliver Jeffers has sold 18million books. But the first thing I asked about was his dip paintings. Because, it’s one of my all time favourite art projects.We spoke about Oliver’s long career as an author, illustrator and artist and navigating between them. This will be an episode I come back to many times. I hope you enjoy it. If you do - tell a stranger on the bus about it.Oliver’s links:Website - oliverjeffers.comInsta - @oliverjeffers Get full access to Creative Rebels at creativerebels.substack.com/subscribe

The Dogs Bark, the Car Moves On - with Dr Rebecca Marks #233
Dr Rebecca Marks jokes that we shouldn’t listen to what critics and art historians say, but some of her unique takes in this interview, have been rattling around my brain since our discussion. Rebecca is an art historian, writer, and social media creator which is an interesting and pretty unique Ven diagram. In this episode we discussed some big topics, like the purpose of art and the ‘starving artist’ cliche. If you’re a long-time listener, you’ll know I’m always struggling with the tension of making art for yourself vs making it for an audience. My biggest take away from talking to Rebecca was her opinion that when an artist expresses their individual experience, it becomes an “expression of universal experience” that can resonate with a huge number of people.I hope you enjoy this one :) Get full access to Creative Rebels at creativerebels.substack.com/subscribe
