Creative Mentorship
Creative people are both blessed and cursed.
They are blessed to be lit with a soul fire that wants to create, to participate, and to bring visionary ideas into being. And they are cursed because corralling that impulse can seem muddled, fragmented, and unclear much of the time.
Over the last 15+ years, I have navigated the discipline and practices needed to work through these common states to guide many media projects to fruition. Whether through film, writing, podcasting, or speaking, success requires a willingness to connect one’s creative artistry with their wider audience.
I have been blessed to encounter some excellent collaborators and mentors, and there’s plenty I wish I knew when I was starting out as a young media maker years ago.
And now, I’m pleased to offer mentorship in your career development and mythopoetic identify as an artist.
Mentorship Can Look Like:
Exploring the questions most alive for you as a creative. Where are you struggling? Where would you like more clarity?
How to develop your unique artistic identity and focus on the work that matters.
How to seek the right collaborators and financing.
Identify what stage your project is at and how to move it to the next stage.
How does your creative life intersect with your relationships and family?
Plus, pretty much anything else you might want to bring.
Client Testimonials:
“Ian has been the creative sparring partner I didn’t know I needed. His mentorship and thoughtful reflections have given me practical reframes and deeper motivation for my own creative projects—such that they become more aligned with my own process of growth and maturity as a human.”
“I had been gestating my project when I considered receiving Ian’s mentorship. I felt received, understood and heard, and began feeling contractions in terms of what I am birthing. I felt surprised of his accessibility, impressed by his realizations in the world, and thus trusting his noble mission. l see him as a spider of light, redirecting lines, clarifying the global web of possibles, with his sharp yet subtle inputs, leaving me the space to reveal myself. I feel like I have found the perfect doula!”
“Pursuing creative mentorship with Ian for the past six months has not only accelerated my creative process, it has honed how I determine which creative projects are aligned with my soul and my mission. Mentorship with Ian has helped midwife my emerging mythopoetic identity as an artist.”
I’m excited. How do I begin?
