I've always been fascinated by the creative process—not just the finished product, but the winding journey behind it. The false starts. The breakthroughs. The weird, unexpected detours that end up mattering way more than you thought they would.

Final Final is a podcast about creative work and the work behind it.

I'm your host, Nick Blackmon, and for the last decade, I've worked at Whiteboard, an award-winning creative agency behind the campaigns and creative for brands like TED, Pandora, and Moon Pie.

Along the way, I've found myself in so many conversations with friends, coworkers, and collaborators—exploring their winding career paths, creative ruts, big wins, and the hard lessons they’ve learned along the way.

In each episode , I'll sit down with designers, animators, filmmakers, and other creatives— to explore how they got to where they are and how they keep going.

We'll unpack their journeys and creative processes—the moments, methods, and mindsets that shape their careers and crafts.

You'll hear some stories that may surprise you and some that feel wildly relatable.

We’ll talk about how they deal with creative blocks, how they pitch and present their work, and what habits help them push past hating everything they’ve made, to reach something they love—or at least hate a little less.

So, If you’re navigating your own creative path or trying to level up your craft, this show is for you.
