Do you have systems set up in your business? Do you feel as creatively capable as possible? Brian Morrow explains how it’s often the un-sexy things like business systems that help us consistently be our most creatively activated.
Brian is the Founder and Creative Director of Shark Pig, a full-service video production company in Los Angeles. He recently helped produce a feature-length documentary called Hal, about filmmaker Hal Ashby which showed at Sundance Film Festival earlier this year and is premiering around the US now.
Today he talks to us about how he was able to balance (or not) between documentary work and work for clients. He also talks to us about the power of the human mind and the importance of keeping different aspects of living in balance.
What do you think of balance in the unique way Brian talks about it? Let us know in the comments on the episode page!

"Don’t waste the amazing power of your brain on things that you can just make a decision and then act underneath the umbrella of that decision potentially for years in a row. Or if you want you can just think about it every week." (25:30)
"When I’m operating at my lowest, it’s when I’m too stressed out. And too stressed out is not a high functioning thing. It means that it’s out of balance." (43:08)
“If you feel like sh** in your body, it’s not rocket science, it doesn’t take Sigmund Freud and a whole bag of cocaine to figure out that it's probably going to have an effect on what’s happening in your brain." (40:58)
