Welcome to another creator chat on the SGGQA podcast channel!
There’s just something in the air. I’d almost go so far as to call it an existential conflict. For a number of creators that have been at this game for a while, many of my friends are shifting gears, looking at how to keep things fresh. When you depend on your creativity to pay the bills, it puts a lot of pressure on a very finite resource. Your attention, your skills.
Flo Ion is one of my favorite voices in the consumer tech space. She seems to effortlessly move from corny jokes in a smartphone podcast, to joining heavy political discussions, and she’s not afraid to make a discussion personal. But that’s the trick isn’t it. The people who are really good at hosting and joining a discussion make it look easy. Keeping a regular production schedule while pitching freelance articles. Staying passionate about the subjects you cover. Carving out a little time for family, for friends, and for yourself. It’s a marathon. It takes a respectable amount of discipline. And Flo has a lot to say on that subject…

Welcome to another creator chat on the SGGQA podcast channel!
Let’s talk about getting projects finished. How our own expectations might get in the way when we’re working on our passion projects. In the grand scheme of things, it’s not very common to see someone finish what they set out to make.
This week my guest just happens to represent one of my longest lasting friendships in Hollywood, so please excuse the love that I’m gonna gush all over this guy. As our careers have shifted, and we’ve grown our families, we don’t get to talk as often as we’d probably like.
Yuri Lowenthal is an incredible actor, writer, producer, and all around super cool guy. I rewrote this intro several times, just trying to properly set the stage for his prolific body of work. Animation, television, feature films, video games, web series, building audiences and friendships with every project he works on, in every genre.
Most recently the voice of Peter Parker in Spider-Man on the PS4, and starring in an astoundingly ambitious live action sci fi series called Orbital Redux on The Nerdist, but this guy also has an IMDB credit list longer than my torso.
I could probably spend as long celebrating Yuri as our actual conversation took to record, but he just has that affect on people. So I’m gonna get out of the way here, and let’s talk to Mr. Lowenthal about making cool things for people to enjoy.
