66. What Does It Mean to Be a Creative Person?


Listen Later

We all appreciate the fruits of others’ creative endeavors, but not everyone feels comfortable identifying as creative. And that’s a shame because we believe that everyone can be creative – whether you work in art or nuclear physics. Creativity impacts everything from your personal fulfillment and professional development to even your physical health. This week we’re chatting about how to bring more creativity into your life – and how to keep the creative juices flowing!


Our conversation covers everything from:

- why creativity isn’t only reserved for “artists”

- the importance of choosing curiosity over fear

- tips for cultivating creativity if you’re feeling uninspired or uncreative

- why we admire self-starters, disruptors, and multi-hyphenates

- the downfalls of tying your creativity solely to commerce

- navigating decision fatigue

- having the right routines and systems

- being the right physical environments, and with the right people

- & so much more!
