Two Minutes With The Great Discontent
“Are you creatively satisfied?”
The Great Discontent is one of my favorite destinations for inspirational interviews with people in the creative industry. Recently, rather than another interview, they posted part one of a short video series of interviews with Brooklyn Beta attendees. The question TGD asked is simple - but very deep if you take a second to think about what it really means.
While watching, I was like "Heck ya, I'm satisfied!" - but, then I thought "...wait - am I satisfied? No, not really." I'm never really satisfied creatively ... that's part of what creativity is - never being satisfied, questioning everything, always searching. So, it seems, our favorite 'discontents' have asked a trick question to get us to think. I love it. Watch this video and think about your creative satisfaction.
Two Minutes with TGD is a series of brief interviews that expands on themes already explored by The Great Discontent: creativity, risk, and what connects us. The series is a TGD special project, introducing video content in addition to our regularly published written interviews.
