Getting Caught Up David acknowledges that listeners may have been expecting a new Creativity Excitement Emotion episode as early as September, right around the time the website (you’re looking at it!) got a bit of an overhaul. The stars didn’t quite align for there to be a new episode on September 1, but a new episode for the first week of October isn’t so bad, right? Right?! David got a bit of feedback on the show so far, which seemed to indicate that it's been a bit whiney…? 😅 David’s intention was to practice sharing his stories, but admittedly he was kind of going through a rough time when many of the ideas were originally captured. What do you think? Send us a note of feedback. Before diving into the meat of the episode, David shares that while there will still be an array of content, including solo episodes and interviews, he intends to share the Spark Infinity Office Hours on the show as well (including this episode). Hopefully that’s cool with you, but you’ve got our contact information… feel free to chime in with your two cents. Background and Inspiration First, a note about how we got here! The Spark Infinity team evolved from the Clean Slate event, which was created and hosted by David, Jody, and Karlo in February Inspired by a Peng Joon presentation on creating 120 pieces of content (three month’s worth) in a few days, the team decided to create the Spark 120 challenge The team transitioned from Spark 120 to Spark 90, making the goal of the challenge to create 90 videos in four weeks David was successful in capturing over 90 videos, though he couldn’t edit them in time for the deadline The team took a break during the summer, when the project was renamed Spark Infinity to reflect the notion that the content monster is insatiable and will always want more to content to consume! Core Values and Principles Growth: Focused on increasing engagement, following, subscribers, and ultimately sales Doing what works: Emphasizing strategies and tactics that yield results Moving fast: Speed of action over perfection, embracing some messiness (especially since social media tends to be a very messy place!) The Spark Infinity Journey Creating a dedicated folder for Spark Infinity: With a focus on sustainability and consistency, David began creating, and loading up the folder, with simple content. Content creation and publishing: First Push: Set the foundation with simple posts and captions Second, Third, and Fourth Push: Gradually iterating and refining content, incorporating videos as well as call to actions Fifth Push: Incorporating AI in caption assistance, experimentation with promotion services Results and Reflection Engagement and growth: Notable increase in followers and engagement Learning from mistakes: Accepting imperfections and adjusting Future directions: Focus on engagement growth and ultimately, sales Conclusion Share your feedback and suggestions for future content!

The conversation touches on everything from events and music to conspiracy theories and bizarre life events. What is The Indie YYC? Noticing David’s T-shirt, Matt asks what The Indie YYC is. David shares that The Indie YYC community was created by him and Frederick Tamagi. Pre-pandemic, the community focused on three unique live events, including The New Beat (a fusion of poetry and live music), Storytellers (bringing together songwriters, poets, and authors), and Avant Guardians (featuring avant-garde and alternative musicians). During the pandemic, as well as after, the community focused on growing mostly through user submitted content on Facebook. Clean Slate On February 16, 2024, David hosted a live music and multimedia event in Victoria, BC called Clean Slate. Matt asks how the event came about, and David shares that the idea came to him while reading Frederick Dodson’s Parallel Universes of Self. David initially envisioned an event where he could bring people together to celebrate the launch of new music, a new book, new comedic video content, and more. The initial phases of planning went swimmingly. Then, things started going awry in September 2023. David could not secure the featured artist he’d hoped to, and despite booking local artists for the event, it failed to gain local support. Most people in attendance were there because David had invited them. Matt asks David whether he sees the experience as a stepping stone or opportunity to try his hand at another event. David shares that while he sees the possibility of hosting low-cost, low-key events in the immediate future, he can’t see himself attempting something like Clean Slate again unless there’s a rabid demand for it. What David’s Guitar Teacher Told Him There is something David’s guitar teacher told him that has stuck with him until present day. Matt asks David what that was. David shares that his guitar teacher told him that he’d surpassed him within one lesson. I’ve been playing guitar for 13 years. Imagine what you’ll be able to accomplish in 13 years. Matt asks David what kind of impact that statement had on him. David shares that it gave him the motivation he needed to keep practicing. From his teacher, he also learned not to dismiss people who offer him praise. If people say good things about you,
