Great for anyone creative
This podcast is a wonderful look at the many different directions you can go with your creativity. Jay is an excellent host and I learn so much from listening to this podcast. Keep up the good work!
What is there not to love?
This podast has accompanied me through Covid on my weekly 10K run. As my pace increased, I'd run further so I could listen each episode out. Creative Elements feels like going on a road-trip where every 50-60 minutes you stop to pick up a different hitchhiker, each sharing their story in their own unique way. Jay has a vision for where we're headed so there is clear forward momentum but he's deeply curious about every well curated guest and the detours they might take us on. And the detours are great. You don't have to be 'creative' in the traditional sense to get a lot out of this podcast. Lace up your shoes and take it for a ride. You won't be disappointed... perhaps frustrated because wanting to stop every 2 minutes to capture something will serious impact your average pace! Nice work Jay.
Essential for every knowledge worker
Creative Elements is one of those rare shows that manages to deliver exceptionally unique content in a crowded category of “creativity.” Jay checks all the boxes for a quality show but really goes above and beyond to pull out the best of guests so we can all takeaway at least one important theme from each of them.
Inspiring and informative
I am not an creative entrepreneur outside of a tiny side hustle but this podcast has me dreaming of a day I may become one. It is filled with great content and interviews that provide excellent advice and tips. The variety of experience of the interviewees (and Jay himself!) is enough to keep me listening and learning.
Jay Close kicks it up a notch with this one.
I first listened to this show after recieving a newsletter from Jay, who is overall an abnormally generous and hard working guy from what I understand. This show seems to be a step up from his last show Up Side, which was also good, but this one the sound editing and guestlist seem to be improved exponentially. And how can you beat that podcast show art? I am excited to see this guy break into higher and higher levels of the creative "scene" to become what he himself has termed "the new guard" once the spaces open up I guess and the "old guard" starts to retire. Check out the episode about Strategy with Kwame Christian. This one will soon be one of my regular shows to check in with as Jay learns more and more particular secrets about working into the creative realms and shares them with all of us.
I love Creative Elements
It is one of my favourite podcasts. I’m looking forward to every podcast episode. Jay is super awesome podcast host.
If you’re an entrepreneur, you gotta listen
The first episode I listened to was with Kwame and it was really refreshing to hear what he had to say. Jay is super resourceful and has given me some valuable tools as I’ve been learning my business and entrepreneurship this last year. It took me a while to jump into the podcast only because I had others on my roster ahead of CE, but now that I’m here- I plan to binge all the episodes to get caught up!
Very helpful and interesting.
Listened to my first episode a few weeks ago. Found it interesting and helpful. Will listen to more.
…and the best Show of 2020 goes to 🥇️
This show is an absolute masterclass. In fact, you should cancel your Masterclass subscription right now - Jay’s got you covered.
Well curated and thoughtful
Literally one of my favorite podcasts. Thoughtful questions, concise intros and commentary, doesn’t waste your time, well produced, interesting interviews, there’s really nothing like it. Refreshing content in a sea of self promotion in the creative space and totally worth your time. Thank you, Jay!
Listen in and stay ahead in the game!
This podcast is my weekly doze of inspiration. The guests are amazing and Jay always asks great questions that lead to insightful answers. I am not particularly in a creative field, but I am an enterprising person and this podcast has an abundance of great advice for me. Post-pandemic economy is going to look very different and this podcast offers great advice to stay ahead in the game!
Non boring interviews
Jay is a master of his craft. Unlike any other business podcast you’re listening by to. Give one a shot and you’ll realize how good podcasts can be
Great discussions with ideas to apply to your activities
I enjoy listening to the background story on each persons journey and what they learned. Great lessons to apply to the activities in your life.
Favourite commute podcast
Absolutely love Creative Elements and it never fails to make my one hour commutes to work feel like time well-spent. Jay is an excellent, well-spoken host who interviews interesting, creative people who are always genuine and who always seem to have something of value to share with us. I can't wait for the episodes to come out fast enough.
Inspiration & motivation for all
There’s always something to learn from each episode. Great work! Can’t stop listening. Discovered from another app. Thanks
Highly recommend for creatives of all stripes
Amazing guests, genuine insights, and entertaining to boot!
Encouraging
I just discovered this podcast and it’s what I needed to encourage me to keep my creative business going 😊 some days (like this whole year) it’s been tough to get motivated but this is a breath of fresh air. Jay has a “down to earth tone” and I appreciate the variety of the guests being interviewed.
Amazing creative practical knowledge + inspiration
Not to be dramatic, but this podcast has changed my life. Ok, maybe not my life, but at least the hum-drum-hoping-for-something-good-to-happen career path I was on. I love the creatives Jay features on the show and I have truly been so inspired by their solid advice. I feel like I can glean a small piece of wisdom from each episode, and Jay does a great job at keeping the discussion focused, while still maintaining an organic flow of conversation and not being dull or monotonous. I also appreciate how practical and approachable each episode is. If you’re a creative, and you need some GENUINE inspiration and advice from REAL creatives, listen to this. Thank me— I mean Jay— later.
Tremendously motivating
I first learned of Jay Clouse and this podcast through another podcast (Ian Paget: Logo Geek) and I was so profoundly motivated by that single episode that I instantly started following this dude on all the social media channels, signed up for his newsletter, subscribed to THIS podcast, and will be purchasing his courses for Freelancers in the very near future. I went for a long drive just to binge-listen to episode 1 and 2, and I’m hooked. I’ve had a fine art and design business for almost ten years. I’ve got the art thing down, but I’ve never been so excited to learn what I can do to be better entrepreneur and perhaps go fully freelance. Also, for anyone that judges a podcast by the voice, this dude’s voice is like butter on a warm slice of toast. :)
A perfect podcast for creatives
I discovered Creative Elements a month or so ago — as I went through Jay Clouse’s Freelancing Foundations video course on LinkedIn Learning I knew it should be worth listening to but it’s so much more than worth listening to. The podcast features interesting (and sometimes famous) guests who give tons of useful and sometimes fun information and Jay always asks great questions. Highly recommended for creatives in every field.
The Best Podcast For Aspiring Creators
Jay is a story teller and takes you on a journey of exploration, discovery and inspiration. Each episode is packed with golden nuggets to help you level up your online business. Jay brings on incredible guests and created a podcast that is well above the rest. Give it a listen and subscribe. You'll regret all your life decisions if you don't. This podcast is GOLD.
Grateful
I am so grateful for this podcast! It was right when I got the temporary lay off from my second job that I came across this podcast. Since then I’ve watched every single episode.. and I feel all the more successful in doing so.. the road is long and it seems so unforgiving but with the info and discussion that I get from creative elements I believe the future doesn’t have to seem so Grimm. Started a little side hustle and getting prepped for all the small and fast fails so I can get where I need to be in the future! Stay healthy stay safe! And thank you jay clouse, wife and mixer!! And thank you guests!!
Excellent interview
Excellent interview with Morgan Nield. So much great information! Thank you.
Down to earth + actually helpful
The host asks great questions and has really interesting guests :)
