It seems impossible to not feel more motivated after listening to Todd. Wonderful episode

TM was exactly was what was needed in the 1990s. So many great artists got financially screwed over in the 1950s - 1980s.

Todd is everywhere rn

Listening to this this while drawing at 245am. So inspiring. Really appreciate this podcast.

Todd is absolutely the MAN! His tenacity really is something to be emulated and admire imo for us artists. I know I really struggle with believing in my own artwork, I see all the flaws and negative crap SO easily it can really hold me back. I am absorbing that Todd mentality because fuck missing out on life anymore. Thanks, Todd!

This is like a magnum opus speech! "On my best and worst day I average out to zero." Mind blowing. "You should spend your time and money doing what you like."

100% correct! Speaking as a creator, unless you are work-for-hire, you create what you love and put it out there, regardless of what anyone thinks, negatively or positively - and whether it's perfect or not (nothing is ever perfect in anyway shape or form!). It doesn't matter. Of course, it helps to have an audience, realistically speaking not every comics creator has the fan following that Todd does, so that you can, first sell your comics and second, to stay in business. And that is what Todd is saying; he has been creating comics since he was 23 or 24 years old - almost 40 years now. But in the end, what a creator of comics creates, he or she creates it for the love they have for whatever it is they are creating. Cheers and Happy New Year, 2024:-) AGL

If that doesn't boost your determination I don't know what will. Thanks coach!

LETS GOOOOOO, thank you guys for this interview!

I really love hearing Todd speak. The man is very intelligent and gives great life advice. Great job landing this interview with him. Little constructive criticism would be to be quiet while the man is speaking. You ask h8m a question, he starts talking at length and we as the listeners do not need you to say, “yeah, uh huh, mmhmm, yes, yep, yeah yeah, okay” or anything like that. The great interviewers ask the question and let the person speak. They stay quiet. You just sit there and nod your head in agreement instead of audibly responding. That made it difficult to listen to at times. Positive is I really enjoyed the questions you asked and how professional everyone was, except the dude who interrupted Todd kid story because his gf was locked out of the house. Also, I’m here to listen to Todd talk. Not listen to Mateo’s life story. Dude just needs to be quiet and let the guest talk.

Ridiculously inspiring podcast. Thanks for the wisdom.

“Marvel will take me back tomorrow..” - lol, I love it

And just like that...Smokey the Bear's message became so much more profound. Excellent interview.

I've heard Todd basically say the same thing in a few different videos, but damn if it isn't a breath of fresh air every single time! Really made my day! Keep going everyone!

Great episode! Todd is my hero. Love his perspective as it can apply to so much. I'm going to go forward and prevent forest fires myself.

This is awesome! Todd is the industries biggest cheerleader, and it's impossible not to get excited and pumped listening to him. Thanks for this guys!

People needing validation for their beliefs on the internet…strong insight. They’re in trouble unless they find some absolutes outside of the opinions of others.

Epic!

Love this dude! He is part of the reason I got back into drawing. I self published a book last year that went really well to the point I’m making a full time living now as an indie writer. Todd was an important part of my childhood. I remember going to the comic book store with my Dad, and discovering Spawn by accident. Been hooked ever since

Real talk to it's finest, I wish more open dialogue was shared in the community from pros like Todd on a regular. Real inspiring guys, taht's why I love this show.

Increíble charla con la LEYENDA!!!

Another Todd Mcfarlane classic to pump one up to advocate for themselves! Great discussion gentlemen

Great interview. Todd is inspiring. 😊

I say this about every episode but damn do I mean it even more this time, Great episode!!! If a comics career is your passion and this epsiode doesn't light a fire under your ass I dont know what will. I would definitely drink the cult of Todd kool-aid!

Awesome! Todd is the best!

Great discussion! Great work! Loved this!!

Aw man, great episode! Really inspiring! Loved what he had to say

13:52 Good advice. Why gripe, when you can move on?

It's awesome to see someone who has been successful for so many years still be so motivated. Great podcast guys, loved hearing Todd's perspective on things.

Amazing! Great Episode!

Yay, something inspiring for the treadmill tomorrow to kick off the New Year, thanks Uncle Todd!

That's inspiring. I'm currently houseless. I'm doing all my comic art stuff out of my Dodge caravan. Plus. It is difficult to make the break. But I'm in it to win . There isn't comic book artists in La,Ca90044😎✌️. I keep my portfolio work on me thank g. O. D....

Listened 2 times, just great. Tks guys 😉

Holy smokes! My favorite toy creator!

More Todd!!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥WOW!

That's it, business model settled. Man that was inspiring! Thanks guys!

Fantastic video gents. Todd rules. Keep doing more videos like this. P.S. Scalera rules!

3:47 Mateo needs some manners! >:I Seriously!!!! Man is passionate about telling something and you interrupt?! >:I If you're gonna be sorry for something, DON'T DO IT in the first place!!!! >:I Get some manners! >:I If something be making a point, take a note and back track when he is done talking!!!! >:I

Wow! Incredibly interview/talk. Gotta ask though why was he in a serial killer apartment (lol) like no furniture or photos? Eric can relate some :P

That was so ill. Thanks fellas!

The way Todd thinks… is outstanding

Since everything else has been said..... ...Steve Carell and Todd McFarlane kind of have a similar voice XD Great interview : )

todd could have a 20th career as a motivational speaker

Wow. It only took him 5 minutes to nail my problem to the wall...

Comic Jesus himself! LET' GOOO!

Fuck. This was so good.

todd is better than coffee

Todd should refrain from caffeine before interviews. Geez Louise

Its a great interview. But the summary of Todd's points and common sense is deeply annoying. Who is telling who bud? Lol.

Todd so damn cocky lol . I guess that’s how you gotta be to a degree in the industry. A humble cocky
