Evan and Alex wrap up season one and talk about Creative Demons. These demons show themselves in a variety of ways, all of which are designed to stop the artist from completing their project. These demons scream that YOU are not good enough, no one wants to see your creative work, and there are always other more fun things to do. Evan and Alex discuss methods for defeating creative demons and continuing to develop creative projects. They also recap how the artists interviewed in season one stay on their respective creative tracks. Plus... is creativity a secret to a long life?

Cult Classic

What is it like to be a successful artist... in two entirely different mediums? Since the late 1970s Dey Young has had a rich and varied career as an actress, starring in the cult hit Rock 'n' Roll High School, multiple iterations of the Star Trek franchise, the recent David O. Russell movie Amsterdam, and even as THAT store worker who shuts down Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. In addition, she simultaneously has an equally successful career as an accomplished sculptor. Dey discusses her rapid and simultaneous launch to both her careers and how each pursuit feeds the other.
