The pursuit of better
Jay is one of those people that can obsessively pursue “better” without being pretentious or condescending about it. His natural curiosity and earnest presence shine through in this podcast. I’ve sat down and chatted with Jay in real life, and this podcast plays like you’re right there at the table with them.

Top notch stories for freelancers
I love how Jay leads with a summary that has useful information, and then uses his interview skills to pull a great story out of his guest. Gold mine of great topics for freelancers and budding entrepreneurs.

Jay is an amazing creative mind and has poured his heart and energy into a platform for education and engagement. Where curiosity shines and concepts are broken down into the building blocks of career and personal success. I’m so excited to see the future of this channel and Jay. Highly recommend to anyone looking to expand their knowledge and with a playful dose of entertainment.

Informative!
Episode 56 with Allen Gannett has a great discussion on being creative that anyone can find something that relates to them.

Jay is an incredible host
The fact that Jay focuses on a topic many have attempted to explore is a gift to us all. Unlike most shows exploring creativity, Jay sets aside his own ego and assumes the role of guide. This show is refreshing and sorely needed. A total cut above.

Must listen!
Creative Elements is a must listen for any one wanting to learn more about the content creator economy. Jay hosts a wide variety of guests and has an uncanny ability to ask THE questions you want answered. Jay is easy to listen to and the production value is top notch. Definitely binge worthy!

Amazing
Favorite podcast, but the Bijan podcast was a big waste of time. The content was stuff 99% of people already know.

What is there not to love?
This podast has accompanied me through Covid on my weekly 10K run. As my pace increased, I'd run further so I could listen each episode out. Creative Elements feels like going on a road-trip where every 50-60 minutes you stop to pick up a different hitchhiker, each sharing their story in their own unique way. Jay has a vision for where we're headed so there is clear forward momentum but he's deeply curious about every well curated guest and the detours they might take us on. And the detours are great. You don't have to be 'creative' in the traditional sense to get a lot out of this podcast. Lace up your shoes and take it for a ride. You won't be disappointed... perhaps frustrated because wanting to stop every 2 minutes to capture something will serious impact your average pace! Nice work Jay.

Essential for every knowledge worker
Creative Elements is one of those rare shows that manages to deliver exceptionally unique content in a crowded category of “creativity.” Jay checks all the boxes for a quality show but really goes above and beyond to pull out the best of guests so we can all takeaway at least one important theme from each of them.

Inspiring and informative
I am not an creative entrepreneur outside of a tiny side hustle but this podcast has me dreaming of a day I may become one. It is filled with great content and interviews that provide excellent advice and tips. The variety of experience of the interviewees (and Jay himself!) is enough to keep me listening and learning.

Jay Close kicks it up a notch with this one.
I first listened to this show after recieving a newsletter from Jay, who is overall an abnormally generous and hard working guy from what I understand. This show seems to be a step up from his last show Up Side, which was also good, but this one the sound editing and guestlist seem to be improved exponentially. And how can you beat that podcast show art? I am excited to see this guy break into higher and higher levels of the creative "scene" to become what he himself has termed "the new guard" once the spaces open up I guess and the "old guard" starts to retire. Check out the episode about Strategy with Kwame Christian. This one will soon be one of my regular shows to check in with as Jay learns more and more particular secrets about working into the creative realms and shares them with all of us.
