BrawnyAi's From Zero to Creator - Episode 006: Japanese Tempura, AI Art Woes, & Finding Your Creative Path
This episode of BrawnyAi's "From Zero to Creator" podcast takes a detour from my usual focus on digital hunks. Join me for a Japanese culinary adventure as I ditch fancy restaurants and embrace the simple pleasures of a local tempura restaurant in Tokyo. My meal sparks a meditation on growing BrawnyAi, the challenges of the creative path, and the importance of staying true to yourself in the ever-changing digital landscape.
I share my love of exploring authentic Japanese cuisine, from famous dishes like sushi to lesser-known specialties like tempura and tonkatsu. As I savor my crispy tempura and buckwheat soba noodles, I reflect on the negative thought patterns that sometimes plague creators. It's easy to feel envious of others' success, worry about finances, and fear stagnation. It's a struggle all too familiar to artists, but these emotions can also be a catalyst for reinvention and fresh ideas.
BrawnyAi has been a journey of self-rediscovery. In my career-driven past, I suppressed my artistic side. Now, creating AI-generated art has reconnected me to the things I love and helps me fulfill my promise to myself: to never abandon my creativity again.
The creator's life, like building a startup, is unpredictable. We grapple with managing expectations, finding ways to adapt, and knowing when to pivot. The key, I'm learning, is to anchor myself amidst the instability, explore new avenues to reach my audience, and never stop pushing the boundaries of what's possible with AI technology.
