Are you the kind of creative who loves experimenting but struggles to finish, or someone who finishes fast but wonders if the work could be better? In this episode of the Grae Area Podcast, we break down a powerful concept from Rick Rubin’s book The Creative Act:
👉 Experimenters vs Finishers.

✨ We explore how different types of creatives approach:
✨ Art, music, painting, and songwriting
✨ Deadlines, flow state, and procrastination
✨ Perfectionism vs progress
✨ Knowing when something is actually “finished”
✨ This conversation is raw, funny, and deeply relatable for anyone navigating the creative process.
✨ Whether you’re an artist, musician, writer, or creative entrepreneur, this episode will help you understand how you create—so you can create better.
