Summary
The last module of Louise’s Find Your Voice course is all about risk and adventure. Alice has just been on an adventure of her own - one that Louise also could have experienced but chose not to. This week, we discuss how important risk and adventure are in our work and in our lives. Can we have one without the other? Do we tend to take risks in some areas of our lives while avoiding them in others? And what is the payoff when we do venture out of our comfort zone?
We also discuss the emergence of new things in our work. How do we know when a new direction is meaningful as opposed to being an aberration? How do we choose which ideas to follow and which to let go? Do we actually need to decide anything or can we just let the work develop?

| 0:00.0 | Maybe what we have to do is not try and decide. |
| 0:04.0 | I think so. |
| 0:05.0 | Maybe we have to not think. Hi and welcome to episode 48 of Art Juice. This is almost generous and hopefully humorous conversations to feed your creative soul and get you |
| 0:25.5 | thinking with me Louise Fletcher and me Alice Sheridan and we have lots and lots to talk about this week because we haven't been together for a couple of weeks, |
| 0:36.0 | but our main topic is going to be the topic of risk and adventure and that's going to be just as exciting as it sounds. We also have an interesting |
| 0:46.2 | question and we have all of our usual features so let's just get right on the bit. So Alice, |
| 0:52.1 | tell me what you've been up to this week. |
| 0:54.0 | Well I'm on flight recovery mode at the moment. I wondered this morning if actually I get |
| 0:59.2 | is it possible to get seasick when you fly on an aeroplane do you think think? I don't think they'd call it seasick. It's not seasick. It's just a kind of |
| 1:08.7 | slightly woozy sense of misbalance and I wonder if the pressure in the ears I just it's that |
| 1:15.9 | feeling a little bit like when you've been on a boat and your feet aren't quite |
| 1:19.0 | right? Yes I have had that when I've done a lot of science so I do. Okay well okay maybe I'm not going crazy then so I'm a little bit like that this morning having flown from London to Chicago to Mexico, back to Dallas and back to London again, |
| 1:37.0 | including a two hour sitting on the Tarmac flight delay, |
| 1:39.8 | which is really fun on the last really long leg of it so yeah it was about a 30 hour journey each way and the |
| 1:46.9 | reason I was doing all of that was to join one of Nicholas Wilton's art workshops in Mexico which they have at this |
| 1:55.1 | fantastic place called Haramara which is fantastic if you like no electricity and |
| 2:01.6 | camping in almost luxury. |
| 2:04.8 | So you have proper beds, lovely white drapey sheet things, |
| 2:08.6 | but open-sided cabanas and that's absolutely, |
| 2:12.4 | it was just the best experience so I went last year for that |
| 2:16.4 | this year we were in an apartment in town which meant that we were closer to the nightlife. It wasn't quite such a restful experience but it was good fun. |
| 2:29.7 | That may be as much as you're going to get. |
