Clueless Creatives Podcast

S1.E2 - Why. why, oh why?

Michael Kvick Season 1 Episode 2

Welcome to the Episode 2 of The Clueless Creatives Podcast "Why, why, oh why?".

In this episode I share the journey that I went on in discovering the '7 Why's Principle' , what it actually even is, what the end result was 3 years ago and what I concluded with when I did it again just recently. It's a helpful tool to find out what your passion and purpose is, what you value right now, and what you can work on. 

It provides you with clarity for growth, a target to focus on, and is an eye-opening process that helps you discover the deep reasons for why it is your doing what you're doing, how you can grow, and why you're so passionate about your creative journey.


*** Here's the basic steps ****

Ask yourself why 7 times to get to the deeper answers.

  1. Ask why you want to do ...xyz...
    • Respond with the first thing that comes to mind.
  2. Then ask why do you want to (and build this questions based off of the answer you gave in question 1).
    • Respond with the first thing that comes to mind.


Continue this process until you hit answer number 7 and by that point the questions should have made you more aware of why it is that you do the things that you do and why it is that you're so passionate about your creative journey. (this can also be used for any other part of life where you search for the deeper answers of situations, relationships, choices, etc.)
