Each week, join me, Matthew Doherty—your creative partner and resident envy expert—plus a rotating cast of guests as we obsess over everything in pop culture that makes us ask, “Why didn’t I think of that?!” We unpack why certain things make us feel something, riff out loud, and show you how to turn envy into big ideas of your own.

The Anatomy of Envy – Part I: Into the Creative Unknown
You ever feel like someone should just map out all the messy, chaotic, sometimes soul-sucking feelings that come with being a creative person?
Well… no one has. So I did.
Welcome to the Envy League, and welcome to Part I of The Anatomy of Envy — a two-part emotional expedition through the weird and winding terrain between jealousy and turning it into your creative superpower.
There’s no step-by-step guide here. No motivational fluff. Just one very curious creative (hi, I’m Matthew) trying to chart the uncharted.
In this episode, we set off into the creative unknown — tracing a non-linear, choose-your-own-adventure through the Wastelands of Jealousy, the deceptive calm of Admiration Station, and the uncanny weirdness of Imitation Island (where your favorite ideas start wearing your face).
Think less creative self-help, more creative side quest. So get in. We’ve got envy to explore.
