Hey friends, this is a rebroadcast of a episode that I ran about this time last year. It comes from one of my

favoriteest series in this whole entire podcast. I brought together a group of artists from

Growth Studio. We had several conversations about some of the topics that I think are among the most important

In this episode, we're talking about what I call the experimental phase. If you're not sure exactly what I mean by that, don't worry, I've got you. So I find it helpful to organize the phases or stages that we go

through as artists. So real quick, we have the exploratory phase, which is what we're going to

talk about in this episode, but it's a period of exploration, discovery, and play. And from there,

we go into the production phase, where we focus on an idea and create a

body of work. So oftentimes the production phase comes directly from the exploratory phase.

Maybe you're playing around with a lot of work. And then you notice that you're super curious about

this one piece and you kind of find this thread and you
