For the longest time in my creative journey, I felt like what I was making just was so surface level.

It didn't really feel like me.

It kind of felt like trends and things that were going on in the industry and the people around me.

I didn't feel what I felt like I was supposed to feel, which was like,

this is mine, this is what I want to say, this is who I am.

Think that missing piece is your creative voice.

I think it's actually normal and okay to feel like that at the start of your journey.

You're just kind of getting into it, participating, learning the ropes, and what have you.

But if you're ready to have a sense, get a sense of your creative voice, this episode is for you.

Because today we have Claire Keene, the illustrator and author of the new book, Who Are You?

If you don't know, Claire, I saw this book and I instantly wanted to have her on the show

before I ever found out that she's kind of creative royalty. Her dad, Glenn Keane, worked on

some of the biggest Disney movies from the 90s, Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, huge role there.

And then Claire herself has worked on the Disney movies Enchanted, Tangled, Reckett Ralph, and Frozen.

And then her grandfather, Bill Keane, was the guy who created the comic, the family circus. So she has been surrounded

by creativity her whole life. I had an absolute blast in this conversation. There's so many

takeaways as she tells her story, insights, action items about figuring out who are you as a person, as an artist.

That's the name of her children's book.

But really, that's the theme that we explore.

And there's some really, really powerful stuff here, including at the end, I'm going to

come back and bring a creative call to adventure or something you can do with stuff

from this episode.
