What does it take to stay creative when the work dries up, the rejections stack, and self-doubt starts to bite?
I’m Elliot Cowan — actor of stage and screen (The Conjuring: The Last Rites, King & Conqueror, Da Vinci’s Demons, Foundation). After 25 years in this unpredictable business, I’ve learned that success isn’t just about talent — it’s about resilience.
Each episode is a candid reflection from the front lines of a creative life: the wins, the knock-backs, the lessons, and the mindset that keeps you going.
Whether you’re an actor, artist, or anyone trying to build a life around your craft, this podcast will remind you that you’re not alone — and that your art is only as strong as the spirit behind it.
I’m Elliot Cowan. I am The Resilient Artist — and so are you.
