Start Somewhere | Releasing "Vampires" & Overcoming Self Doubt

The Creative Life — with Jim Kroft

Hello everyone and welcome back to "The Jim Kroft Podcast"

Ever felt like you’re waiting forever to be ready to start a project?

Sometimes an idea or seed can live with us for years and, despite our best efforts, we just can't seem to kick-start it.

In this episode, I share the personal story behind the writing and recording of my new single "Vampires" which is out on the 31st of January on Spotify. Here's the PRESAVE!

It is a journey of overcoming writer's block, slaying the demon of self-doubt, having a reckoning with one's own "talent" and determining to move forward, irrespective of what price must be paid.

Sometimes you have to do something because the price of not doing it will be that it haunts you forever - that is the Vampire.

Questions we explore:

• How do you overcome the fear of starting when you don’t feel ready?
• What strategies can help maintain your creative momentum amidst life's demands?
• How can embracing imperfection unlock your true creative potential?

Highlights:

• 🎬 Start Somewhere: Beginning your projects without having everything figured out.
• 🤝 Trust in Collaboration: How trusting your team can lead to magical creative outcomes.
• 🧠 Overcoming Self-Doubt: Strategies to battle the internal demons that hinder your creativity.
• 🔄 Embracing a New Process: Innovate your creative workflow side stepping on what you've done before
• 🌱 Sustainable Creativity: Unlock ways to maintain and grow your creative spirit in a hectic world.

Today is a journey through the messy, beautiful process of creation and - and the realisation that if we are going to live with ourselves we are going to need to find not just deeper courage - but to start somewhere.

Your host, Jim Kroft
