Creative Quest #22: Did We Smash Our 2024 Goals?
Episode 22! Happy New Year! We're taking the opportunity to reflect on 2024 - our first full year of pursuing our creative pursuits - to see if we've achieved the goals that we set for ourselves at the beginning of the year. It's definitely been a big year for us, but did we achieve everything we set out to? What comes next?2025 is going to be a monumental year for us: we've left our full-time jobs behind, we've (almost) finished renovating our new home, which is going to give us the time, space and resource we need to fully commit to our ambitions. In order to do that, we'll be taking a short break from the podcast while we move into our new house, spend time perfecting our new studio space and tech setup and then we'll be back for Season 2 with a fresh new look, a new format, and a new mission! So make sure you subscribe and follow our Social channels for news on our comeback in the next few months! Thanks for all your support!If you're new here; we're Raven and Faranir and we are on a quest to break free from the 9-5 grind and live a more fulfilling life. This podcast is basically our progress journal. We can't give you all the answers on how to achieve your creative goals, as we haven't done it yet ourselves! We're still finding our feet, starting from the beginning and working our way up. Let us break down what kind of things we cover: - Creating YouTube videos: how we record our streams and create videos from them - editing in Premiere Pro, creating thumbnails, monitoring analytics, etc. - Streaming on Twitch: What kind of gear do you need to get started? How have we improved our streams over time? Monitoring growth through analytics, How to become a Twitch Affiliate and start making money and even better, how to become a Twitch Partner and make even more money! We're still working on that last one... - Building a social media presence across Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok: comparing results across each platform to see which ones can yield the best results as well as what impact paid advertising has through each one. - Art and design: Raven creates all of our art assets herself; all the logos, title cards, intros, outros, thumbnails, etc. so we often dive into how important this is and what tools are available to help. - Motivation and Encouragement: We often dig into motivational rants and encourage our listeners to pursue their passions in life and to not let anything hold them back. - We also dive into topics such as Photography, Audio Engineering, and general tech talk for platforms like OBS, Canva, Lightroom, Photoshop, and Premiere Pro. Making this podcast keeps us on track and holds us to account: it pushes us to keep doing better and improving ourselves and our results, and our hope is that it will also help you in your own creative endeavours. We can show you what's working for us, and what absolutely does NOT work for us; so that you can spend your time and money on the things that will give you the most benefits. If you have any questions about our work or processes, any requests for topics to cover in future episodes, or any feedback at all (good or bad! It all helps!), please don't hesitate to reach out! Email us at CreativeQuestContact@gmail.com and we'll get back to you. We'd love to hear from you!

Creative Quest #21: Our Plan Has Worked So Far - But What Comes Next? Our Biggest Leap of Faith?
Episode 21! This is a big one for us! Over the last 18 months we've had this dream of cutting out the 9-5 grind in jobs that we have no passion for, and seeking a more fulfilling, creative life instead. We started to hold ourselves accountable to that goal just over a year ago when we started our podcast, journaling that journey. Now, Raven has quit her job and moved into a part time job that's in line with her beliefs and goals, and now I have also quit my job and have just one week left until I leave it for good. This is an absolutely massive moment for us, as it means we're able to take the next steps towards achieving our dreams, but what will that actually look like? What comes next? In this episode, we take a deep look at how we got to this point and what the future will hopefully look like. We'll be upping our game in so many ways, including how we develop the podcast. After all, now that we're achieving our initial goals, it makes sense that the podcast evolves with us! So, take a seat and enjoy. This is a good one!If you're new here; we're Raven and Faranir and we are on a quest to break free from the 9-5 grind and live a more fulfilling life. This podcast is basically our progress journal.

Creative Quest #15: We're Officially Creators!
Here we are with our slightly delayed Episode 15! We had a slight delay due to spending the weekend at MCM Comic-Con in London so we weren't able to record on Sunday as we normally would! We had an absolute blast but it's great to be back home and have a little catch up with you guys! On this week's episode:Celebrate a major milestone, as we received a Creator Pass for Comic-Con! So, I guess that makes us official creators, right?!We discuss Raven's cosplay prep for Comic-Con; how she built the wig and ears and how she recorded the whole process so there'll be a video tutorial on that on the horizon!We talk about about photography: diving into Pixieset - a photography service provider that I use to build and host my website, blog, client galleries, shop and studio management facilities. Getting all this back in order for a bit of a 2024 relaunch after months of silence and just how daunting that can be after taking a break! We also look at what's coming next with a lot of upheaval on the way. Raven has some major work commitments over the next six weeks that will have to be her main priority, so we'll be running a reduced streaming schedule but fear not, Creative Quest will still be with you every two weeks! We'll also (hopefully) FINALLY be getting the keys to our new house, which will bring a whole lot of extra work with it as well!We've got a very busy time ahead, but we're more committed than ever to our creative endeavours so we'll be pouring our all into keeping all these plates spinning through our busiest summer ever! Thanks once again to each and every one of you that tunes in each week for more updates! May has so far been our second-most successful episode ever despite us only so far releasing one episode in May! So that's fantastic! If enough of you jump on this one before June, May may just break our records!If you have any questions at all, or have any feedback for us, feel free to reach out at CreativeQuestContact@gmail.com and we'll get back to you!If you want to follow us on any other channels or socials, you'll find them all at the link below!https://beacons.ai/green_fae_ravenThanks again! We'll catch you next time!
