Welcome to the 100th episode of Extraordinary Creatives! One hundred thousand listeners, nineteen months and now ranked in the top 1.5% of podcasts and in this episode, Ceri wants to remind you what being an extraordinary creative is all about.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. You keep showing up, even when it’s messy.
2. You sit with the dualities.
3. You know risk, failure, and mistakes are part of the deal.
4. You ask curious questions. You stay open.
5. You feel deeply, and it all goes into the work.

BEST MOMENTS

"You know that consistency doesn’t mean doing it perfectly. It means turning up with curiosity, with vulnerability, and with the willingness to try again, even if yesterday felt like a failure.”

“You make because you have to, not for applause, not for approval but because there is something in you that refuses to be silenced.”

“You’re not trying to make safe work, you’re trying to make true work and there’s nothing more courageous than that.”

“You know that the clues to your best work are usually hidden in your foundations, in the early obsessions, the weird childhood drawings, the thing you couldn’t stop doing when no one was watching.”

“You don’t need to be louder. Or quicker. Or more polished. You just need to keep choosing creativity in a world that’s constantly nudging you to quit. You’re not behind, you’re becoming and we’re lucky to witness it.”
