My guest today on The Jesse Nyberg Podcast is Ben from Boring Friends. Ben has a background in tech and UX design but during the covid pandemic took he his business into a more light-hearted illustrative approach. Online has grown his following to over 100k followers and creates dope illustrations, motivating short-form content, and overall cool stuff for artists and graphic designers. In this episode Ben, and I chat about the pros/cons of social media content, not being afraid to fail, and overall improving as a creative.

Graphic designer Jesse Nyberg hosts the Jesse Nyberg Podcast: Interviews with Creatives, a series of conversations that go far beyond portfolio reviews or technical tutorials. Each episode is built around a simple, compelling premise: a deep and meandering dialogue with a guest from the creative world. You'll hear graphic designers, artists, and content creators discuss not just their finished work, but the winding path that led them to it-their personal history, their daily rituals, their moments of doubt, and the sparks of inspiration that fuel their projects. These are stories about the life behind the art, offering a raw look at the process rather than just the polished result. Nyberg’s approach as a fellow practitioner fosters a sense of intimacy and understanding, allowing guests to share the backstory of their careers with genuine candor. Listening to this podcast feels like being a fly on the wall in a studio where the real talk happens, where the focus is on the human experience of making things. It’s for anyone curious about how creative people actually think and live, finding connection and insight in the shared challenges and triumphs of building a life in the arts.
