037 - Say "Yes, And!" to Navigating the Future of Creativity and AI with Nye Warburton
In this episode, I connect with my old friend Nye Warburton, someone I've known since our college improv‑comedy days. Nye's journey has taken him from animating features like Monster House and Battleship to chairing an Interactive Design & Game Development department of a college and writing provocative essays about AI, blockchain, and creative technology. We talk about the pressures of entertainment, how to treat uncertainty as play, the importance of iteration over perfection, and why every creator should ship something - even if it's rough. If you're navigating creativity in a fast‑changing world, this conversation is for you. Key Takeaways: Creative careers benefit from saying "Yes, and": start small, iterate, ship fast Real‑world experience building and animating on major films gives unique lessons on unpredictability and resilience AI may seem threatening, but controlling your data and tools can make it empowering Play, experimentation, and curiosity keep creativity alive, even under pressure Learning tools = valuable; but learning to ship and iterate is more important Relevant Links: Nye's homepage/CV: nyewarburton.com Nye's "Digital Lab" blog essays on AI, distributed tech, creativity Paragraph Nye's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nyewarburton/
