In this episode, Matthew and Denise record their first podcast in the car while embarking on a 21 day road trip. They dig into establishing creative routines and making intentional choices for maintaining a creative mindset while traveling. This is the first of a two-part series in which the pair discusses how they balance productivity with pleasure while exploring national parks and off-the-beaten-path locations across the Great American west. Matthew discusses how he determines what gear to pack, as well as when and how he chooses to use it.
