After citing Steal Like An Artist as his major influence in the Inc. profile, “How Did An Average Joe Get an Award Winning Podcast? He Stole It,” Joe Saul-Sehy invited me to be a guest on the podcast. We had a nice conversation about side hustles, organization, flow, money, and a bunch of other stuff.
Listen here. (Our conversation starts at 16:00.)
James Victore came by the garage and interviewed me for his Burning Questions series. In the Show Your Work! spirit, he posted our interview unedited. Watch it here.
If you have an hour to kill, I had a nice chat with Srinivas Rao on his Unmistakable Creative podcast. Srinivas said listeners had been requesting me for a while, so I was more than happy to disappoint them be invited.
Among the many topics we discussed: why I found my best work after I left school and what one should to do with an audience once they show up.

I had a nice chat with Jeff O’Neal on Reading Lives, a “podcast with interesting people who love books.”
We talk about the endurance of physical book browsing, the difficulty of coming back to comics as an adult, being who you are at a young age, and much more.

Last weekend at the Texas Book Festival I had the pleasure of interviewing Joshua Wolf Shenk, the author of one of my favorite books of the year, Powers of Two: Finding the Essence of Innovation in Creative Pairs. I had a hunch that we’d have a lot to talk about, so I recorded our discussion and edited it down (liberally) to the post below. Enjoy.
AK: Let’s start out with The Lone Genius Myth.
JWS: I argue in the book that the lone genius is a mythical creature. Which is not to say that we don’t require solitude and it’s not to say that we might not take sole ownership over our work as you and I both do — we don’t have anybody else’s name on the covers of our books. Yet, there are very often characters offstage who are not acknowledged.
