In just 10 episodes, CMI\u2019s The Creative Show has completely rewritten the rules for live streaming, visual storytelling, and conversations about creativity.<\/p>\n

Maybe we\u2019re exaggerating a tiny bit. But we\u2019re creatives, so we reserve the right for a bit of good-natured hyperbole about the impact of our show.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re excited for season two, which debuts<\/a> at 2 p.m. (U.S. ET) Friday, Jan. 28, on Facebook<\/a>, LinkedIn<\/a>, and YouTube<\/a>. If you haven\u2019t caught every episode (or any episode), look back with us as we share some behind-the-scenes observations and highlights from our creative conversations in the first season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Origin story<\/h2>\n

First, a little background: I met JK Kalinowski in 2012 at the Content Marketing World Health Summit. JK is CMI\u2019s creative director. I\u2019m a health-care content strategist by day and a comic book writer by night. We were destined to become fast friends.<\/p>\n

FUN FACT:<\/strong> Our first conversation was about The Six Million Dollar Man TV show and toy line.<\/p>\n

Over the years, we\u2019ve written together for CMI, including:<\/p>\n

In 2021, JK flew to New Jersey to participate in my Comic Book School<\/a> panels at New York Comic-Con.<\/p>\n

During the pandemic, JK approached me with the idea for a monthly 30-minute live show where we\u2019d talk about creativity. The Creative Show was born. We started broadcasting \u2013 live from the deepest corners of the marketing internet, where no tactic goes uncovered, and every episode begins or ends (sometimes both) with Star Wars and Marvel Cinematic Universe trivia.<\/p>\n

Every month, #TheCreativeShow streams 30 minutes to talk #creativity. Go behind the scenes of its debut year via @BuddyScalera @jkkalinowski @CMIContent. <\/a><\/span>Click To Tweet<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Episode 1 \u2013 The Debut<\/a><\/h3>\n

Streamed live: Jan. 29, 2021<\/p>\n

Engineer: Monina Wagner<\/p>\n

Description:<\/strong> Monina interviews us to dig into the secret origins of our creative power and set the stage for the show.<\/p>\n

Behind the scenes:<\/strong> We hadn\u2019t quite mastered the art of the short answer, and the audio has a lot of bounce and echo. Despite a few switching glitches, we managed our way through live learning.<\/p>\n

Content takeaway:<\/strong> Both JK and I talk about how almost everyone uses creative thinking in the way they approach their jobs. JK shares how his wife applies creativity in her job teaching children with special needs:<\/p>\n
