462 - How to Find Purpose Behind-the-Scenes and In-Between with Mark Eshleman

A conversation with the creative and content director for Twenty One Pilots.

Episode 462 of Creative Pep Talk is out now

This episode is for you if:

• you find yourself trying on hats as you try to figure out what you want to be and what you should be doing

• you’re someone who loves the creative process, the behind the scenes, the supporting roles

• you’re in a creative career that has intense and exciting projects with weird down time between

For this episode we stayed a little closer to home with our guest choice and I invited local friend Mark Eshleman to the studio to talk about his creative journey and life on and off tour with the band Twenty One Pilots. It was great to have a unique perspective from someone working in video and web content and who’s job is to help touring musicians tell their stories!

Behind-the-Scenes at CPT

This is the guest seat, and the wall I face as I record episodes. Simple, clean, peaceful and free from visual clutter:

And this is what can only be described as the Chaos Wall of distractions- the one Mark was facing as he tried to think and speak:

I found this so funny that he pointed it out and I thought you might enjoy a little behind-the-scenes peek at this room!
