creative entrepreneurship at Berklee College of Music, and her courses explore the connection between creativity, entrepreneurship, and the mindset needed to navigate both fields.<\/li>\n<li>She visualizes the creative process of building a career as a large arc with smaller project-based arcs within it, emphasizing the non-linear and messy nature of the journey.<\/li>\n<li>She encourages a balance between methodical planning and embracing chaos as essential to success in a creative career.<\/li>\n<li>Maria believes in letting the creative process be unpredictable and evolving, as opposed to the business process which often sticks to a predictable formula.<\/li>\n<li>She notes the importance of networking in creating opportunities, pointing out that personal connections have led to some of her most significant projects.<\/li>\n<li>She emphasizes open communication about potential issues at the start of any collaboration, stating that this has been a crucial strategy in her mature creative career.<\/li>\n<li>Recently, she has been immersing herself in learning new technologies like motion capture and the Unreal Engine, expanding her creative horizons.<\/li>\n<li>One of her key takeaways is the importance of not losing sight of one\u2019s skills and achievements in the excitement of learning new things. She would advise her past self to maintain pride in her talents, even when venturing into unknown territories.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"\/>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<p>Please enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>Listen to the episode on <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/pixels-paint\/id1681183282\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Apple Podcasts<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/4dmH04xcomKjRbP65w2e7C?si=175515332fa4428c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spotify<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/overcast.fm\/+KebsU0fK0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Overcast<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iheart.com\/podcast\/338-pixels-paint-113541559\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iHeart<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/player.fm\/series\/3469143\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PlayerFM<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.podchaser.com\/podcasts\/pixels-paint-5289282\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Podchaser<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boomplay.com\/podcasts\/63300\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Boomplay<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/tunein.com\/podcasts\/Arts--Culture-Podcasts\/Pixels--Paint-p3720332\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tune-In<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/pixelsandpaint.podbean.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Podbean<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.google.com\/?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9yc3MuYXJ0MTkuY29tL3RpbS1mZXJyaXNzLXNob3c&amp;ved=0CAAQ4aUDahcKEwjI_ezXzuDnAhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQAQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Podcasts<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/music.amazon.com\/podcasts\/94cb09db-e1a7-4c99-9eb4-b99399d98d37\/pixels-paint\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon Music<\/a>, or on your favorite podcast platform.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/rare.makersplace.com\/2023\/08\/03\/e15-maria-finkelmeier-turning-mallets-into-paintbrushes-using-tech-to-create-a-total-artform-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">transcript of this episode<\/a> can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/rare.makersplace.com\/2023\/08\/03\/e15-maria-finkelmeier-turning-mallets-into-paintbrushes-using-tech-to-create-a-total-artform-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.
