Thank you Stan, Marshall, and Flint. This is definitely a relevant topic for a lot of us here. I understand the substance of the information provided, but I am not much of a good "developer" to I don't know how to implement it into my own journey. Turning the process into a game/habit sure does have some benefits. While we wait for Proko's Gamification to be released, I am curious what my fellow listeners took away from this and how they will implement this information into their own journeys.

Our guest this week is animation and gaming industry veteran Flint Dille! He’s been involved in a wide range of projects from the 80s animated Transformers movie to games like Diablo III and Pokemon GO. We sit down with Flint to find out how artists can use methods valued in game design and writing to take their study routine and education to the next level. Flint shares how you can use familiar concepts familiar to gamers, like grinding for levels, as a form of practice in order to enter a propulsion loop where you feel rewarded and fulfilled while moving forward in the “main quest” of your art journey.

It's not surprising that many artists today are knowledgeable about the gaming industry, as video games have become an important part of modern popular culture. With the rise of e-sports and the increasing use of video game music in movies and TV shows, it's clear that gaming is no longer just a niche interest, but a mainstream phenomenon.

You talked about epiphanies recently. In modern parlance, you could say that I had twenty micro epiphanies and 4 serious epiphanies. It's amazing what can be learned from a different perspective when there is intelligence to make communicating vessels.
Da Vinci it's alive!!
Thanks so much for this. Guys, you are the best!
One thing that has been helping me with '5 Easy Wins' - inking other artists work. Go through it as a learning exercise but you still get something at the end of it that you can be really proud of. Of course you have to be honest with yourself and others in the process.
Does Flint have any recommended resources for Gamification if I want to learn about it further and apply it?
Lucky stuff will not happen to you if you don't work. -- Flint Dille; I'm putting that on my wall.
Excellent episode. Very useful. The part of the quests and giving yourself easy wins interested me a lot. I've heard a similar approach on learning stuff from Andy J Pizza, for everyone who's interested, look for his podcast Creative PepTalk, he gave better insights that the ones I can provide there, just look for the episodes related to Creative Side Quests. Thank you for the interview!!!
This has to be the best interview i've seen on this sight and there have many other great ones. Thanks Stan, Marshall and especially Flint. I wish I watched this years ago.

Yes, I have the same question. It seemed aimed more at teachers than at students. For example, how do you ensure an easy win for yourself? Is it still an easy win when you know it should be one???
