Visual storytelling is a big theme with the Lean Into Art podcast. Also: working with what you have as a storyteller to do a myriad of things that go with not just the creative process but also presenting your creative work in a useful and usable way.
Jerzy and Rob talk about useful tools to consider using even if you’re not a User Experience (UX) designer. As we make and share our works we often encounter situations where we wonder if we could have shared it better - especially when that’s not our main focus for making a story, game, or other product.
Join us for an exploration of some handy tools from the world of skills in UX.

Talking about finding new opportunities & improving your work by taking the "not my thing" challenge on the LIA Cast!
I'm a doctor, not a bricklayer! – Leonard "Bones" McCoy
Given all that goes into being a visual storyteller, it's easy (and understandable) to default to our own realms of comfort and expertise to talk ourselves out of trying new things. Especially things that are "not our thing."
But what if trying such things led to new job opportunities or enhanced your visual storytelling abilities?
We're thrilled to be joined once again by Ryan Estrada, who walks us through how hosting game shows, participating in open mics, and running parody Twitter accounts opened up new professional doors for him and added to his storytelling tool kit.

Inktober, NaNoWriMo, 24 Hour Comics Day, Art Soundoff, and other challenges invite us to test our limits, find new bandwidth, level up skills, or try new techniques.

Brain trust is a new format idea for the podcast where either Rob or Jerzy presents something they’ve been working on and get feedback from the other host and anyone in the live chat who wishes to join in. In this episode Rob shares some ideas about marketing principles he’s hoping will help with both reaching out to new customers and with continuing to serve existing customers. In the brain trust Jerzy and Rob will react to and critique the marketing principles and you’re invited to join in!
