šŸŽ™ļø The Creative Life — with Jim Kroft This podcast is for creatives who’ve chosen the long road. Each week, I take one aspect of the creative life — a breakthrough, a challenge, or a tool that’s helping me — and share what I’m learning from the inside. I started the show because I couldn’t find what I needed: a companion for the real challenges of making art while building a life around it. The podcast swings between the psychological traps we face and the practical tools that keep me going. It moves between mindset and method — but always comes back to how we keep showing up. I’m Jim, your host. I’ve lived a long life in the arts — full of meteoric highs and humbling lows. Here are a few stops from the journey: šŸŽø Released 7 records — from major labels to van tours šŸŽ„ Filmed 6 feature docs, screened at 200+ festivals 🧠 Built a creative business in Berlin since 2013 āœļø Top 1% on Substack for weekly consistency šŸ“ˆ Raised nearly €100K for refugee & Ukraine war efforts šŸŽ§ The Creative Life has hit the Apple Podcast charts Thanks for being here, Jim šŸ”— Listen & Follow: Spotify Apple Podcasts Substack YouTube Instagram

One Clear Purpose Per Day: A Creative System to Stay Focused and Finish What Matters

šŸŽ„ New! Watch the Podcast on YouTube
I’ve just launched a dedicated YouTube channel for The Jim Kroft Podcast—where you can watch the episode and follow the key moments as they unfold. It’s brand new and shared only with listeners for now.

šŸŽÆ One Clear Purpose Per Day
How I’m building a creative life without burning out.

In this episode, I share a breakthrough that’s reshaped how I work, create, and stay sane as a one-person business.

We all know the pressure: create content, stay visible, market yourself. But in a world where Alex Hormozi is spending millions a month on content and ad teams—and Gary Vee is shouting "post 24/7"—what does that mean for the rest of us?

The ones without teams. The ones juggling freelance work, family, burnout—and still trying to make something meaningful.

This episode isn’t about rejecting content. It’s about finding a rhythm that respects your limits and moves the needle.

I talk about:

  • How I structure my week across newsletter, podcast, and YouTube
  • The principle of ā€œOne Clear Purpose Per Dayā€ā€”and how it’s helped me regain focus and protect my energy
  • The story of almost quitting post-pandemic, and what pulled me back
  • The deeper cost of hustle culture—and how to build a sustainable path as a creative

If you’re a creator, artist, or indie builder feeling overwhelmed or behind—this is for you. Not a masterclass. Just a fellow traveller sharing what’s working right now.

šŸŽ§ Your host,
Jim Kroft
