Todd Henry

Todd Henry is the author of the book turned podcast The Accidental Creative. I listen to his podcasts almost everyday (sometimes on repeat). Through his books, blog, and podcast, he offers insight on the process of maintaining a consistently high level of creativity without succumbing to burnout, degradation and discouragement. He is a must listen for every creative, no matter the medium.

Shameless Maya

Shameless has been an essential voice in my creative ear for a while now. Through her youtube channel, she inspires 500,000+ subscribers to step out into a life that is devoid of fear and filled with positivity and encouragement. Her story is one that empowers people to live fully inspired by beauty. You can not go wrong in listening and watching this hilarious woman give insight and speak truth about the realities of shamelessness, creativity, artistry, and the journey toward artistic recognition.
