In this podcast episode, we discuss why there was no podcast last week and delve deeper into the challenges we experience with making the show. After a year and a half, we notice that inspiration sometimes lacks and that we occasionally repeat ourselves. We wonder if it is time for a new direction and how we can keep the fun in making the podcast. We candidly discuss the future of the podcast and wonder if we should perhaps stop using visuals. Finding the right topics remains a challenge, so we would like to hear from you which topics you would like to see and which formats you would like. Together we can take the podcast to the next level! We also discuss personal frustrations and irritations, such as situations in which people think they know more than you, especially in personal relationships. Why does being a know-it-all cause so much irritation, and how does it affect our communication? We share recognizable stories, reflect on communication and provide insights into how we can listen to each other better. Finally, we discuss what it’s like to combine a creative career with other responsibilities, and share our experiences with creating content on platforms like YouTube and Spotify. Want to know how we deal with performance pressure and how we try to find the balance? This episode is for you! Let us know what you think and what topics you would like to see in the podcast. Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us!
