How Action Bronson Solved The Creative Industries 

You can’t help but gravitate towards Action Bronson’s creativity..

that category creation gem is HUGE, thank you Creative Minds for highlighting Action Bronson's unique career and art, definitely inspires me as an upcoming artist to rethink how I go about some things I do, thanks for that gem from Naval: "Figure out which new things you can provide for society, those things that society does not yet know how to get, but it will want, that's natural to you, and within your skillset, within your capabilities...And the artistic process of executing ideas in a unique and interesting way...how we need to use our specific knowledge to create spaces in the market that only we ourselves can fill."

Man I really needed to watch this video. I’ve been so worried about making money with my idea that I actually forgot about the passion aspect of it. The main thing was always to have my pieces worn by people regardless if they’re buying or if I’m giving them out for free. Thank you for this gem 💎

Love that you chose to do a vid on Bronson! His tactics and philosophy of dealing with life/art/business is masterful.

man you are a creative first, useful and educational second. Braah you are just a talent, its a pleasure to watch your videos. I'M a niche artist with small nice community and always thought how to build up from there?

Action is such a pertinent use case. His food content is what grabbed me at first, but it's so awesome to see how he's growing his reach through different mediums and areas. It feels like you can really get a sense of his own development whenever he does something new. Loved the video, thanks for putting this together and providing the sources 💯

I appreciate you taking longer to put out videos - I constantly feel pressure to keep pushing out ‘content’ in hopes it’ll help bring traction. It definitely ends up taking a toll on what’s meant to be art

Wow. This video is gold, thank you for the hard work, the script you created was spot on and true in so many levels. I just discovered your channel but will def stay and recommend ❤️🕺🏻🔮

Dope work man. I listen to your videos while I create my digital art. Your points bring a ton of clarity to the creative life. Thank you for doing what you do. Much love from South Africa

You’ve grown so much! Thank you for the new content 🥳🥳🥳

I recently found your channel and am doing a deep dive. So inspiring! Thank you for your work.

I just found this channel and it feels like the right time it´s 3:52 am and feel very thankfull about it thank you so much, cheers from Mexico

I really loved hearing all the stories about Action Brunson using his creativity in one field and transferring it to be unique in others! I relate with this so much as I use electrical tape to now create art and I am taking this uniqueness and showing the world the various ways it is used

love your videos man, thanks to all these advice packed videos you've made I was able to take what I learned and write and drop an album, super thankful for all you do, much love bro

Invaluable analysis, distilled in a way that my mind could truly absorb it. I love the scientific breakdown and deep analysis of art, creativity, and the process of being great at it. This channel, is GREAT at it...

I'm at a point where i want to do things differently and listening to this gave me some motivation and faith that im on the right path. You're doing great work man, keep it up. I hope you get noticed more for your work. Thanks!

Just found this channel, amazing stuff. Mind opening, reaffirming, thought invoking. Shot from NZ brother

This video is so profound. Great work as always. I really do love this channel

Awesome and important info for any creative trying to define what they do to someone else.

Incredible video brother. Thank you.

Yow bro I've always watched your videos whenever I needed inspiration in my work and today I just wanted to thank you for doing this I appreciate it💪🏽 , they serve as a guidance for me to know that im on the right track as an artist and they inspire me to keep doing my thing regardless of what others think 🙏🏽💯

thanks for the breakdown! blessings mate

What a perfect way to wrap it up “pieces that you don’t finish, that lose faith and interest. There may be nothing you care for passionately and you must be at the center for what you believe to be true”

i got a feeling this video is pivotal to my life you rock man. thank you!

Love the work you do man, your videos are a true inspiration to me. thank you.

He has a good team. He could’ve just stayed rapping but he ventured out to do other stuff. For the type of rap he does he had a little taste of mainstream with baby blue . He even handled the ghostface killer situation quite well that could’ve been it for him. What drawn me to him was his good music, he was a big dude and you don’t see that everyday, he’s legit chef , and a graffiti writer.

Nice video - I try to take in your ideas whenever I have some free time. I met AB several years ago (Detroit Movement/DEMF w Sinistar, Kruser, and Bill DeBlas), and can say he was a nice guy. Laid back. Eye on the future. Approachable. I've nothing but respect and applause for his success. Keep up the good work, y'all

this is amazing thank you!

Amazing content. Thank you

Bravo. Great video. Dropped a lot of jewels

Mad to see yourself at a Action Bronson show like ten years ago - Bristol was mental-

very valuable info! Thank you

Beautiful work. 🎉🎉

thanks! great video! i took notes :)

This reminds me so much of the Unfair Advantage. Such a good book targeted at entrepreneurs but honestly everyone should read it.

Been getting into his music lately. Dude is a machine 🔥

Bro has never made a bad video 🔥🔥🔥

Excellent video!!!!

Great work mate…!

Dope video!!

What a great video. Loved it! This helps me understand first of all the difference between an artists or creator, introducing new categories to society. And the more typical businessman or marketer that operate in the already existing market and tries to optimize that. I am in this situation right now where I am battling with myself, to figure out what project to go for. On one hand I have several ideas I can go for that there is a proven market for, and that I kind of know the steps needed to carry out. On the other hand, I have this idea that does not exist in the market to my knowledge. That is kind of introducing a new category. And which is the one that makes me excited. But since the market does not exist, the steps are less known for how to carry out that. It feels like it is more of a co-creation with society perhaps. Maybe I just need to start and see how it develops, accept that maybe society may turn it down. This is such an interesting discussion. If you come at it from a different metaphysical paradigm than the current materialistic reductionist view, but that the Universe is alive and is driven by a creative force which has an intention and a direction for the creation as a whole. In that paradigm perhaps our deepest desires, what makes us the most excited, is actually the creative force orchestrating. Like Steve Jobs said that you can't connect the dots looking forward. It boils down then to the intuition and what feels right? I have watched Action Bronson before in awe of his character, so was so excited to see you have made an analysis of his artistic process. And when you brought in Naval Ravikant, I felt very home in this space that you created. This is awesome!!

Great Video... love this message.

Bam Bam is one of my favorite people of all time. I love his music, I love his humor, I love his cooking and his food shows.

It's basically just be yourself (it can't be trained or taught).. And promote it a huge amount through endless self promoting videos and interviews.. Best wishes to you if you're reading this from Rolland at Castle Hassall

So informative and nonetheless insightful. Thank you 🙏🏽

I feel like reflecting is key to grow not only as an artist, but as human in general. Thus by reflecting, you automatically create something people can relate to, because surely some of them are going to feel the same way, without even knowing. They're thinking your thoughts too and that's why you identify with an artist. They're reflected, whether consciously or not doesn't make the difference, but reflection does. Good value

Great video

hard video fam 🔥

Follow your curiosities and don’t let fear stop you

Great!

Best content 🔥🔥🔥

Great video, there's something about actions confidence and self belief that's so appealing, not sure if you done a video on positive internal self talk 😉🙌

Action Bronson live acts are amazing, the whole performance blew me away. His voice is literally better than recorded, it was insane. I couldn't say the same to Snoop and some other live rap I've seen, worst being playback which is disrespectful. What also sticks out is that it feels like Action is just himself, and does music he himself likes most (which is not for granted in the music biz, especially when one gets signed by a major label).

18:13, what a beautiful thing to say, wow

Thank you

Action is are a real one🙌

Great video! Can you please share the name of that Berklee online course ? Cheers 🙏

Cheers, daily bread!

Love Action so much. The world would be different without him

You should really read a book called Blue Ocean strategy. Red oceans are a fight to the bottom.

what software do you use to edit??

Action Bronson is a beast.

Who is the person giving the speech at the very end?

I think you are overselling the foodie bit in his allure. The number 1 thing that sets Action Bronson apart from everybody else is his humor. As much as he is a braggadocious maximus, he is the 1 rapper that dares to constantly take a piss. He was already a made man when he started the tv shows. And yes, the food metaphors were always there, and were always a distinct thing, I'd say the whole taking piss bit (the whole blue chips album, riding the harley into the sunset, dressed in white and my hair is looking orecious,come on, who raps like THAT?!) is what made us fall in love with him

What clip is that at 8:58?

This is a beautiful insight for me cause I wanna make impactful stuff like j.cole and I also want the freedom of a Donald Glover. Self doubt has been a demon I have battled with for a long time but now I use the concept of Amor Fati which denotes that one should love ones fate in times of joy and struggle.

💥💥💥💥

1 word: Culture

WHEN ACTION FIGURES OUT HOW TO MAKE MUSIC VIDEOS, HE WILL BE UNSTOPPABLE.

Bronson is larger than life, in every way. That's why it works. The fact that he was morbidly obese and a gourmet chef just added to the pro wrestling persona.

T"s BRO!!!!! T's!!!!!!!!

Bronsolino!

4:00 "nitch".... "niche" haha

He broke through sounding like GhostFace Killah, lets be real here

He's REAL... these artists are too gimmicky, Action is Action. Always is, always will be.

Its only one thing that will forever bother me about Action, he sounds too much like Ghostface Killah from Wu-Tang Clan. His rap career almost got derailed cuz of that.. Rule #1 when deciding to become a rapper, make sure you dont sound like nobody else._.

AEW* roster

Best white rapper lol

Not sure how "unique" he was, he sounded a lot like Ghostface and was using a lot of similar imagery

This was the blob that made me stop watching VICE back in the days.

IM VERY THANKFULL I FOUND THIS CHANNEL AND ESPECIALLY ONE OF MY FAVORITE ARTISTS AS THE INTRODUCTION TO THE CHANNEL, YOUR EFFORT HIS HIGHLY VALUED AND PLEASE CONTINUE TO CREATE THE COMMUNITY ITS VERY MUCH NEEDED MAYBE SOON YOU WILL BE MAKING A VIDEO ABOUT ME😎✅😅🧖🏽🥂⏳
