Mountain Shores is a laid-back podcast about navigating the valleys and peaks of creative life without ending up in the doldrums.
Your hosts are Fabian Kruse (The Friendly Anarchist) and Milo McLaughlin (Clear-Minded Creative).
Each month (or thereabouts) we’ll share insights, advice and lessons learnt from our own journeys as self-employed bloggers, authors and cake aficionados. We’ll also be welcoming some very special guests from around the world to take part in the conversation.

We believe that in order to create a great body of work and live a good life, artists need to recognise and embrace the paradoxes of (un)productivity, the art of getting things done without sacrificing health and happiness. It means adopting the idler's approach: Avoid stupid work and mindless busy-ness, and focus ruthlessly on what really matters. After all, real productivity means learning to choose wisely.

Regular discussion topics will include creativity, (un)productivity, blogging, freelancing and self-employment, personal development, minimalism, idleness and the many ways that technology can both help and hinder our progress. We’ll also try to regularly mention cake.
