The Creative Lottery (GWTW802)
Manage episode 468124094 series 1017288
What comes to mind when you think about playing the lottery? All the traveling you’ll be able to afford? The golden beaches and beautiful bodies? The job you can finally quit? The house you can finally buy? The car? Finally! For creatives, the lottery might look differently. We can finally make that film that we’ve been writing for ten years. There will be enough money to justify learning how to podcast or leather craft or play the guitar. That book about penguins we can’t stop researching and obsessing over, it will finally get published. Finally! Whether you play the lottery or not, I believe everyone does, especially in the creative industries. I’m going to explore how the creative lottery presents itself, how our communication systems perpetuate it through influencers and gurus, and how we can begin to opt out of playing the game.
