This is the Art of Charm. Learn everything you need to know to crush it in business, love, and life.

The Art of Charm is where ordinary guys become extraordinary men.

Welcome guys and gals to the Art of Charm. I'm Jordan Harbinger.

The Art of Charm brings together the best thought leaders, teachers, and exceptional individuals to teach you how to be a top performer in life, love, and at work.

Imagine having a mix of experienced mentors teaching you their expertise and packing decades of research, testing, and tough lessons into a curriculum.

We may not have all the answers, but we do have all the questions.

Make sure to stay up to date with the Art of Charm and get some great stuff that we don't or can't share on the show by signing up for the newsletter at theartofcharm.com.

We'll email you our fundamentals tool kit that covers topics like body language, nonverbal communication, attraction, persuasion, dating, business networking, public speaking, negotiation, and a whole lot more.

And we've got live programs running every single week here in Los Angeles, California.

In fact, we've got people from all over the world that shows that no matter where you are, you can make it here if you're committed to learning and growing.

We're sold out a couple months in advance, so if you're thinking about it, get in touch now.

We'll send you some info so you can plan ahead.

Jordan at the Art of Charm. That's me. Looking forward to meeting you here at AOC.

Today we're talking with Austin Clean, author of Steel Like An Artist, newspaper, blackout, and show your work.

It's coming out with a nice new journal to guide you through these processes, but we wanted to talk about creativity, what it means to be original, hence not a lot.

But it's in a good way. Embracing creativity, how to steal like an artist, the importance of sharing and showing your work, daily ritual, and something called productive procrastination.

Even if you're not an artist, you'll get a lot out of this, so enjoy this one with Austin Clean.

So tell us what you do in one sentence. I'm a writer who draws.

Doesn't that make you a drawer?

That's a good question. It's all marks on paper and some, you know, in some way.

What I do is I make books with pictures and I make art out of words.

And so that sounds kind of like Mac too. Really what I am is just a writer and an artist, I guess.
