On this summer bonus episode, Keane is joined by his mom, Cyndi Fine, to talk about how we can cultivate creativity in our lives.

• “Brainstorming is just looking at new ways to do things.”
• “‘Creative’ has the same letters as the word ‘reactive.’ Instead of being reactive, how can we be creative?”
• “That’s at the heart of creativity and innovation - seeing things in a new way, connecting the dots that didn’t used to be connected.”
• “Neuroplasticity is how your brain can grow new connections and have new wiring.”
• “The more you do new things, the easier it is for you to take on doing new things.”
• Questions to ask myself:
• • What’s keeping me from doing this? What’s in my way?
  • What am I telling myself [about this]?
  • What am I saying no to? What do I want to say yes to?
  • What do I love to do that comes easily for me?
• “The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.” Pablo Picasso
• “If we are always comfortable, then we aren’t growing, but if we can have a comfortable discomfort, then we can have a space that we can grow in.”

What’s changing our lives:

• Keane: Two shows called “Grizzly and the Lemmings” and “Bluey”
• Cyndi: Going for bike rides
