His podcast, 7 Minute Stories, is autobiographical and extemporaneous — the man writes nothing down — and has achieved a cult following, reaching more than 30 million people worldwide. When he’s not telling seven-minute stories, he’s also the co-creator, co-producer, and co-host of Glassdoor’s The Lonely Office podcast, which has quickly become a Top 50 Career Podcast.

 

Aaron is a master at adapting. If the world tells him no, he turns it into a resounding yes, usually by telling a story. Who else can turn crushing student debt into a successful one-man show performed for three years across the country? He’s resourceful, resilient, and like me, a fellow believer in the power story.

 

Takeaways:

  • The impact of personal stories can transcend individual experiences.
  • The more specific a story is the more universal it can become.
  • Believe in yourself and your work.
  • Creativity often requires sacrifice and always requires courage.

She’s the author of the USA Today bestselling book Styles of Joy, which prompts readers to examine joy in their own lives. And while the book is about joy, it sprang from a place of deep grief. After leaving her corporate law career, then enduring a divorce, which resulted in losing family, friends, and her dog, and reeling in a post-pandemic world, SC experienced a tidal wave of loss. She found solace in walking and while she walked she listened to the uplifting music of Harry Styles. Before she knew it, she was seeing 17 Harry Styles concerts across five countries in 10 months. SC not only transformed from a Stanford-educated, rule-following corporate lawyer into a bedazzled, boa-wearing fan girl, dancing in a mosh pit with complete strangers, but she also rediscovered her joy — and her creativity — in the process.


 

Takeaways


 

  • It takes courage to let go of societal expectations and pursue a path that brings joy and fulfillment,
  • Throwing out the rulebook can lead to profound personal joy
  • Community and connection are what sustain us
  • And it is critical to protect one's joy in the face of challenges, now more than ever.

Not only is he a writer of No.1 country and pop songs but he's also the CEO of Luci, a company dedicated to creating smart wheelchair technology for individuals with disabilities, like his daughter Catherine. Our conversation is one of the most compelling we've had on the show -- he's a fantastic, funny, and wise storyteller. He talks about his journey from aspiring rock star (at 19 he "ran out of brave") to businessman and shadow artist to songwriter (not starting until his mid-30s) and then CEO in a new-to-him industry where he challenged the entrenched powers-that-be, and helped to create innovative technology that is changing lives. HIs curiosity, creative process, and courage are beyond inspiring.  
 

Takeaways:

 

  • creativity is an act of courage
     
  • beware of being a shadow artist, someone who encourages other people to be creative, but who doesn't pursue their own creative potential
     
  • it's never too late to step into your passion
     
  • collaboration in music and in life is about listening and finding shared truths
     
  • personal experiences, especially those related to family, are often the catalyst for some of our most compelling creative endeavors.

A co-creator of the landmark film, The Business of Being Born, Abby tells honest women’s stories — from periods to menopause and everything in between. She shares her experiences in creating compelling documentaries, the importance of creative partnerships, and the challenges faced when your creativity rocks society's boat. Abby also talks about her new project, Midlife Monologues, which explores the narratives surrounding women in midlife and is sure to start another movement. Both curious and fearless, Abby takes on the status quo and her work is essential to making sure women’s stories are truthfully told.

Takeaways:

And in this past year, I’ve watched each of them explode with creativity. Carolyn Blank Cary published a cookbook, which became a mini memoir; Beth Huddleston developed an app introducing infants and toddlers to the sounds of languages and music from around the world; and Amy Meyers pivoted from a lifetime of executive recruiting and political consulting and started her own business, Mrs. Meyer’s Etiquette.

All of these women are over 60, which on its own is inspirational. But more importantly, they’re using their creativity for connection — to create a world where people are kinder to one another, understand one another, and break bread with one another.

 

Takeaways:

  • your childhood interests will likely turn out to be your adult passions
  • no one will have as much excitement for your project as you do, so take ownership of it if you want it done well
  • you may feel overwhelmed pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, but you’ll also feel alive
  • and either go big or go home.

He’s collaborated with every possible country music great like Dolly Parton and Reba McEntire, but also music legends in other genres like Sting and Barbra Streisand. Along with his unforgettable tenor voice, Vince is an extraordinary guitar player, and has shared the stage with guitar legends like Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, B. B. King, and Carlos Santana. He’s been playing with his good pal Joe Walsh and the Eagles for the past nine years, stepping in for the late Glenn Frey. But I asked Vince to be on the show because he continues to make courageous choices not only for his career but also for all of us, using his music to make the world a better place.

At 68, Vince believes he’s making the best music of his career. No matter where you are in your artistic journey, you will leave this conversation inspired.

Takeaways:

  • Growth comes from stepping out of your comfort zone — something Vince continues to do
  • The sure thing is not necessarily the right thing
  • Don’t ever be the best musician in the band
  • Stand by your beliefs even if everyone else is going in a different direction
  • Success is not defined by charts or sales, but by respect from peers; and
  • Kindness could solve every problem we have

Along with his unforgettable tenor voice, Vince is an extraordinary guitar player, and has shared the stage with guitar legends like Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, B. B. King, and Carlos Santana. He’s been playing with his good pal Joe Walsh and the Eagles for the past nine years, stepping in for the late Glenn Frey. But I asked Vince to be on the show because he continues to make courageous choices not only for his career but also for all of us, using his music to make the world a better place.

At 68, Vince believes he’s making the best music of his career. No matter where you are in your artistic journey, you will leave this conversation inspired.

Takeaways:

  • Growth comes from stepping out of your comfort zone — something Vince continues to do
  • The sure thing is not necessarily the right thing
  • Don’t ever be the best musician in the band
  • Stand by your beliefs even if everyone else is going in a different direction
  • Success is not defined by charts or sales, but by respect from peers; and
  • Kindness could solve every problem we have

In this episode, we talk to the renowned historian and bestselling author Nell Painter, who left her wildly successful academic career to enter art school at the age of 65 — an experience she documented in her book, Old in Art School, A Memoir of Starting Over, which was named a National Book Critics Circle finalist. We talk about working with constraints, overcoming unfair criticism, healthy creative addictions like yarn and ink, and we even talk about the role of women without children. At 82, Nell shows no signs of slowing down. It’s an episode you don’t want to miss.

 

Takeaways:

 

  • Age should never be a barrier to creativity.
  • Role models can play a big part in your creative journey, especially for women.
  • You shouldn’t listen to other people's views of yourself; it’s what you think about yourself that matters.
  • Constraints are opportunities, which is a big part of the No Time to be Timid manifesto.

The Washington Post’s headline said, “Megan Barry Resigns as Nashville Mayor, Weeks After Admitting Affair with the Security Chief” and The New York Times declared, “Megan Barry, Nashville Mayor, Pleads Guilty to Theft and Agrees to Resign.” It was a monumental lapse in judgment that played out on the national stage. Before this public reckoning and while she was still in office, Megan lost her only child Max to a drug overdose. So in one year, she lost two of the things she loved the most — her beloved son and her job as the mayor of Nashville. Grief, shame, and resentment nearly destroyed her marriage. But she found her way back with humility, hope, and a fantastic sense of humor. We talk about how writing her memoir “It’s What You Do Next” helped her process her trauma and heal, and the transformative power of creativity.

Takeaways

  • Creativity can help you deal with grief and trauma in a healthy way.
  • Writing can be a transformative experience.
  • Surrounding yourself with people who know more than you do is the best way to learn.
  • Deadlines can be helpful tools to complete your work.
  • Grief can be absurd, and humor can help you navigate it; and lastly,
  • Creativity is an act of service.

During this season in the United States, we’re repeatedly told about how divided we are as a nation, so I thought it was important to tell a few stories about how wonderful people can be. To illustrate the point, I interviewed my husband, Eric Masterson, who is an expert birder, author, and survivor of a catastrophic hang gliding crash four years ago this week. That experience profoundly changed both of us for many reasons, one being the tidal wave of kindness we experienced. And this episode covers more than kindness. We talk about following passions, holding plans loosely, and taking risks. My husband is a lot of things, and timid is not one of them.

So I thought it was important to air a story I told on the StoryCollider stage some years ago about my ambivalence towards motherhood and my call to become an artist. The story is part of a larger piece I've been working on called "Be Fruitful and Multiply."  If you have any feedback, I'd love to hear it. You can reach out to me at podcast@triciaroseburt.com.

Eric Thomas: Seizing Unexpected Creative Opportunities R. Eric Thomas is a creative powerhouse. First, he’s masterful on stage not only as a storyteller, but also as the long running host of The Moth StorySlams in Philadelphia. Second, he writes for every possible medium — he’s a television writer for shows airing on Apple TV and FX; an award-winning playwright; and the author of  several books, including the national bestsellers Here For It, or How to Save Your Soul in America and his latest book, Congratulations, The Best is Over!

Many people first learned about Eric from his daily humor column on Elle.com “Eric Reads the News.” And as of July 1, he’s writing the nationally syndicated advice column “Asking Eric.”


Here's the thing: Eric’s incredible career journey started with a Facebook post that went viral. But he's no overnight success. He was able to capitalize on that opportunity because he’d been preparing for years.


 


 

Takeaways

  • Opportunities can come unexpectedly, so it's important to be prepared and be ready to seize them — something Eric knows about first hand
  • Success usually comes from years of honing your craft.
  • Perfection is rarely attainable, so grant yourself some grace.
  • Libraries are places of endless discovery, no matter your age.
  • And creativity is what brings us hope.

In that time, they’ve built and sustained a writing life that’s produced about 40 books between them. And even though they’re a unit, they’ve dedicated their lives to separate creative interests. Sy writes on behalf of animals — she’s best known for her books The Good, Good Pig and The National Book Award Finalist, The Soul of an Octopus — and Howard writes about architecture, preservation, and history in his quest to understand the soul of American places.


 

And while they live in the same home, they usually don’t know what project the other one is working on.That’s because they give each other the space, support, and feedback that each other needs to do their best work. In a rare combined media appearance, Sy and Howard share how we can treat the artists in our lives and model how to pursue our own creative efforts.

 

Takeaways:


 

  • Honor the artist in ourselves and in each other
  • Create dedicated time for writing
  • Provide useful feedback to fellow artists
  • Repurpose work to find new ways to share stories, and
  • Create connections through writing

You know the saying, "bloom where you're planted"? My guest, Nora Fiffer, embodies it. She’s an actor, director, and producer in both theater and film and like me, she lives in rural New Hampshire. She moved here from Chicago about eight years ago, and since she's arrived, she's co-founded the award-winning Firelight Theatre Workshop, which is now in its seventh season; produced two short films using local talent; and is set to release her first feature film, Another Happy Day, this fall.

Nora also embodies the eighth principle of the No Time to be Timid Manifesto, “Constraints are opportunities.” Like most of us, Nora has limited space, resources, and most of all time, because in her case, Nora's raising two children. Still, Nora brings big creative ideas to a small town. So fair warning, if you have any excuses for not stepping into your creative practice, Nora's probably going to shoot them down.


 


 

Take Aways


 

  • Embracing constraints can lead to innovative and creative solutions.
  • Having projects at different stages of the creative process allows for continuous flow of creativity.
  • Taking risk and trusting the audience are key to artistic growth.
  • And finally, balancing creativity and motherhood — or any kind of caregiving — requires patience, time management, and prioritizing your creative work.

Radha Agrawal, the co-founder, CEO and Chief Community architect of Daybreaker, the global morning sober dance and wellness movement, is one of them. And for the past 10 years, a half a million people across 33 cities and five continents have joined her. And here’s the thing. Radha — a social entrepreneur whose mission is to bring more joy and belonging to the world — started out as an investment banker. Believe it or not, there’s a much straighter line between where she started and where she is now than you might think. In our conversation, we talk about the importance of building an intentional community, Daybreak’s upcoming Purple Tour targeting the swing states, and her newest project, The Belong Center.
 

Takeaways

  • the importance of knowing the numbers in developing a successful community or artistic enterprise
  • the power of intentionally building our communities
  • the strength of prioritizing community over career and romance
  • that dance is a powerful way to combat loneliness and promote well-being
  • the role of community in supporting our dreams.

At 84 years old, Laura Wilson could run circles around most of us. She throws herself into her creative projects — which often take years to complete — with high energy and optimism. She moves quickly, never dallying when pursuing her creative work (a missed opportunity to photograph John Updike still stings). And her work reveals the humanity and stories behind individuals, communities, and events that we rarely see -- cockfighting, cowboys, drug smuggling searches, debutantes, world-famous authors, and reclusive religious groups. In our conversation, we talk about working with famed photographer Richard Avedon, the keys to her decades-long career, and her induction into the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame (at age 79).


 

Takeaways

  • Hardwork and discipline are as essential to the creative process as creativity and imagination.
  • To complete a project, you must have a laser-like focus and obsession.
  • If you have a creative idea, don’t dilly dally. You must move quickly and decisively or you may miss your opportunity.
  • Pay attention and stay alert so you can capture creative moments.

Richard Casper, co-founder of Creativets, shares his journey from combat Marine to champion of the arts. A wounded veteran — Richard’s Humvee was blown up four times in Iraq and he watched his dear friend die — Richard credits art and songwriting with saving his life. To help other veterans heal as he did, Richard co-founded Creativets, an organization that uses art and music to help wounded veterans heal from Post Traumatic Stress and brain injuries. For his work, Richard was named one of Time Magazine’s Next Generation Leaders and a CNN Hero, among many other accolades. And his creativity expands beyond his nonprofit. He’s also an entrepreneur, most recently creating an app called We Should Write Some Time, which connects songwriters around the world. This is a powerful episode about how art not only heals but also saves lives -- repurposing devastating memories as good ones and remapping our experiences.

The award-winning documentary Bathtubs Over Broadway, was her directorial debut, for which she won Best Director at the Tribeca Film Festival and a Writer’s Guild Award for Best Documentary Screenplay. We talk about her creative process, the necessity of a team, the financial challenges of a creative life, the value of being scared, and the importance of inspirational mugs!
 

Takeaways

  • Surrounding yourself with a team of good-hearted people, helps you get you through the hard times
  • The creative process requires resilience —particularly with those big dreams that take a while to realize.
  • It may not always be comfy, but sometimes it pays to keep your overhead low so you can take more creative chances.
  • And the greatest rewards lie outside your comfort zones.

Michael and Tanya have overcome hardships that would have flattened most of us. But they persevered and this year, they were nominated for two Grammy Awards. They’re currently featured in exhibitions at The Country Music Hall of Fame and The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And they’ve travelled around the world headlining their own shows and opening for musical greats like Al Green, Brandi Carlile, Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell, John Legend, Lauren Daigle, and Van Morrison. We talk about their origin stories, their call to minister with their music, and the power of aging. They give us a behind-the-scenes look at creating "Hey Driver" with Zach Bryan, discuss the fear and the thrill of starting their own management company, and share the story behind their newest single, Stealing a Kiss.

Takeaways

  • Trust the process
  • Be open to doors and windows of opportunity.
  • Bring passion and give your all, regardless of the size of the audience.
  • Getting older can make your work better than it’s ever been.
  • If you’re thinking about doing something and it’s not scaring you, then 9 times out of 10, you’re doing the wrong thing.Trust the process and be open to doors and windows of opportunity.

Episode 9: There is Courage in Community.

For this episode, I delve into stand-up comedy, which seems like the loneliest of professions but actually thrives because of its strong community. And two amazing artists join me on the show — Ophira Eisenberg and Bethany Van Delft. Ophira was the host of the long-running NPR show “Ask Me Another” and just launched her new podcast, “Parenting is a Joke.” Bethany is a performer and a producer at the Boston Comedy and Women in Comedy Festivals and was named Boston’s Best Comedian several times. It’s a very funny and not to be missed episode.
